Only 2 admins voted against Finn, it's not that they don't want new staff, it's just that not all of them agreed on promoting Finn

And nowadays it's easier to get a "rank-up" than getting promoted for first time since now it's 7 admins voting compared to just 3 in Spring. Plus, as more staff is promoted, the need for new staff becomes smaller.
