      I remember the old rank system on r/daystrominstitute where you would get promoted if you had the top votes on a nominated post/comment for that week.

      If you were just nominated, you would be made a chief. I was once so nominated for writing an explanation of why “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys would be considered a classical work by the time of Kelvin timeline’s Kirk’s childhood.

      The power tripping mods refused to make me a chief because it wasn’t one of them that nominated the post and they wanted their post to not have competition that week for the vote.

      That being said, I’m not going to call you an admiral. You care too much about this community.

      Well considering I’m not a mod in this community of which I know nothing about?

      But who knows. Might go scorched earth some day!
