"promote willing helpers" - No Helpers seem willing right now, we have many open spots and I've been urging Helpers to run for a higher rank. In-fact, if any Helper were promoted, the COA would be automatically unsuspended and we could get a lot more done.

"desperate times call for desperate measures" - Things like automatic promotions and other "desperate measures" would require multiple separate policy measures, else they'd likely fail if lumped together.

"lower the rank requirements an incredible amount" - The Helper requirements were lowered not too long ago, and current Helpers all qualify for promotions.

"i do not know much about the matters which i am critiquing" - I can tell. (can't think of a way to not make that sound rude) You don't seem fully aware of the Wiki's 'government'.

Open to answering any questions.
