Using the old administrators as examples isn't valid. Tomb got Patroller 3 days after joining, things were very different back then.

The voting system in nominations was just to see if the community liked the admin's choice. In the News Team applications for example, one user got many support votes but was still denied the rank. This is an example of the admin veto power, same with what happened to Sajuuk's NTPedia sysop nomination.

If we switch from nominations to applications, the voting system will have a bigger role as it will determine if the community would want the user when they may not even have been a choice for the position from an administrator beforehand. The admins can still use their veto power if they find the applier is not legible.
