I removed it. Originally, it was meant to just be visible to current admins to recommend members, but a glitch in a website upgrade made it visible to everyone. Yet, even though it was visible, it was still only counting votes from admins. We've decided that instead of having this voting system, we would promote members on merit. There is no need fir anyone to ask for adminship because we already have in mind who should be promoted.
"We already have in mind who should be promoted" Ah, yes, my overlord rank will finally come. That is what you are talking about, right Hull?
Anyway, the vote button was completely useless (my opinion). Two days visable for regular members and they already start begging while their votes are actually zero. Some moderators even played along and gave these begging users what they want, so it's only good that the button vanished.

John, when you become overlord, I'll eat my hat. After it's dry-cleaned, of course. Ah, and in response to the question:
Admins (administrators) are members of DSiPaint deemed trustworthy enough for an admin position. There are various admin positions, each with their own responibility. Some include Chatroom Admin, Blog/BB Admin, Gameshow host. For a complete list check your profile. Being an admin is a great amount of responsibility.
Luke was adminized not one month after being here.
Now some members that are personal friends or family to Daniel I'm sure they get adminized on the spot. But the best admins are the veteran members, such as myself, Nema, DC, etc.
Some members here that I know in real life, like my sister (Yin...) constantly pester me to ask Daniel or Samantha to drop in a hint. Much like I'm doing now. (she wants the paint job)
anyways, just thought I'd point that out.
I know my apprehensions might never be allayed. And so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written...
