Ok, I just wish to say something very quick.
First off.. since when is it 10 votes for a promotion request to pass? For all the ones i've seen, it's always been 20.

SECONDLY

IF A VOTE IS 10-9, WHICH COULD HONESTLY HAVE GONE EITHER WAY DEPENDENT OF WHO WAS ON FIST (say if someone who supported a promotion was online versus 200 who didn't were offline, the vote still would have passed because one side "hit 10 first"), I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT REFLECTS THE COMMUNITIES INTEREST.

You cannot just pass a vote with 10-9. For one, that is now a highly controversial promotion and will only lead to drama. That was poor judgement on all administration on passing a promotion request at the hand of one vote. I know many who would have opposed, but were just not online at the time. 10-9 is NOT a majority situation. 10-9 shows the community is NOT ok with this person being promoted. I'm not calling for a re-vote, or an invalidaiton, but that needs to change for all forthcoming promotions and demotions (which we need some immediately of.. Cough cough, those who show up once a month.)

And thus concludes my "something very quick."
