Oh, wow I forgot all about that, or I thought that I did it already. [...] But in any case you can have the bureaucrat rights Thanks for the promotion. And also sorry for the misunderstanding!

I got promoted right after that trip and now I work like 90 hour weeks Congrats! But wow, 90 hours is really tough! What restrictions were there? Well, no "severe" restrictions.

Now withh bureaucrat rights I can temporarily promote my bot each time it needs admin rights (e.g. when editing blog posts). I didn't feel 100% comfortable with it having permanent admin rights anyway. There has been a major security issue where most of the active accounts on one of the top wikis have been compromised and used to post spam and vandalism. All of that was caused by a single admin which got hacked. And bot edits won't show up neiter in Special:WikiActivity, nor in Special:Recentchanges and thus won't be seen immediately.

It also might be useful to be able to name a few rollbacks in case we get more spam/vandalism again. It's been really quiet lately, but there has been way more, and FauxCerf and I really can't cover 24/7 all the time.
