No support, when the staff promotes an user it is because he/she deserves it and we put faith in them.
Giving them a small piece of the "power" isn't going to help.
In fact they barely can do anything, I have seen this on other forums and it's a bad idea as the trial barely can proof himself/herself with such a little acess.
Also the community shouldn't decide whetever someone should stay or not, those opinions are only biased on how much you like/dislike the person, or out of jealousy.
The staff team has promoted 2 new Moderators, and they are doing great, so what's up?
