As I said, I've *seen* where the ruling of an adoption where there was an unresponsive admin/crat was they were not acting in the best interests of the wikia and community in helping them grow. The Adoptee, an admin seeking additional rights along with a supportive user were both promoted.

Again, efforts to contact the 'crat has to be shown, with no response after a reasonable period. A discussion among the community also needs to be linked in, likewise with a reasonable period, generally 7 days.

Finally, the sole responsive admin seeking adoption has a better chance of receiving the rights in this kind of situation.

Bottom line: set into motion all of your options.
