Petition to seriously and actually enforce the set number of edits to promotion: (my idea is 750 for rollback, 1,500 for discussion mod, 2,500 for chat mod, 5,000 for CM, 8,000 for admin and 12,000 for bureaucrat, and 90% must be mainspace edits.)

Petition to demote the least performing staff members every few months so the better ones can take their place. Support for all except the second one - that's just grounds for edit farming. The edit minimum should be lower.

1k edits is already hard enough to get without farming.

although I'm not entirely sure how easy it is to get edits here, correct me if I'm wrong. Of course. But, in order to prevent edit farming, there will be some rules:

1) At the same time while users try to reach their rank, they must show signs of maturity, reliability, responsibility, seriousness and being nice in order to ensure and prove that they genuinely earned their rank.

2) Users are not allowed to constantly add categories one by one, because these are grounds for many suspicions. Users must also be careful in adding proper categories, as adding incorrect and nonsense categories could risk a punishment.

3) Users should be motivated to fix grammars of other pages so that they look more pristine and pleasant to read.

4) Having these high requirements could help users in building experience with being as staff member, which in turn could help them manage other wikis more easily with learned experience.

5) Of course, there would be some extreme exceptions in promotion like if a user did some excellent innovations that helped the entire wiki.

6) Constantly editing own user page to gain edits would not be tolerated and would be considered as cheating.

7) Users should constantly show signs of professionalism and formal behavior while they are doing their job. Unskilled, too non-serious and overly informal behaving users could be subject to demotion every few month, with their better counterparts taking their job.
