None taken of course Sharp, you are another friend and dear contributor. I value and respect Manuel's work just as much as everyone else, however, we cannot violate the rules set out here, even for a noble purpose. Edits on another wiki do not count towards this one. We can certainly have a discussion about changing the rules but not at this time. As of right now, we are governed by these rules and must abide by them. The rules were also created by xGlass Reflection, possibly the best user we have ever had on this wiki.

The rules would be respected and followed if Manuel stepped down and then served in an advisory role to the new bureaucrat. In time, and I have no doubt he will, he can 'rise through the ranks' and earn the promotion fairly.
