Obviously I agree that people shouldn't get one just because they asked.

But haven't you said that you got your privileged status because you asked for it so that you wouldn't be dealing with the tag limits per hour of a normal user account? It doesn't negate what you said, but I just find it ironic. I mean, if you asked for yours, I don't see why other people can't ask to be considered just like you were. As long as the final decision is always based on merit I'm fine with people being allowed to ask for review.

I got lucky when Aurali went on a random upgrade spree. I may have asked for it, but I contributed to the site by fixing tags and participating in tagging projects when I was a Member. I'm just hoping the staff won't upgrade users that has done nothing for the site just because they requested one
