I will admit that we could have been more clear on why we give Advisor. but we have
never said that Advisor was an ex-admin rank. When asked to describe the rank in one phrase we tend to say "it's like admin but without any duties", but that is nowhere near the same as ex-admin.

I completely agree. Being a paranoid parrot I never liked the idea of having people with those powers that can be completely out of touch with PkHonor, but that's what makes it special I guess.

Yes, absolutely. Advisor was always meant to be be a judgement call. That's why it's the only rank that has nothing to do with staff and the only rank that is given by Mike and I, and not by whoever is in charge of the staff team. Whether or not Mike and I should occasionally reward people, not because they meet a list of requirements but because we think they deserve it more than most others, that's open to debate. It's definitely biased but then we never claimed it wasn't.
Though honestly I think it's a shame that we couldn't - on rare occasions - reward someone, simply because others get jealous.

When was it ever given out easily? And how would you know? Every time an Advisor was promoted, Mike and I first had a lengthy discussion weighing their entire PkHonor career. On average we gave it less than once a year. How on earth is that not rare...
As for all the upheaval about Ex-Staff, I wonder... If you worked at Starbucks, retired, and 2 years later they start giving out lifetime discount cards to their retiring employees, are you going to go back there and demand yours? And what do you expect they will tell you? Only difference is that would actually be something that makes a difference. Everywhere you go, it's the most normal thing in the world that when something gets introduced after you leave, you won't get it. But when we do it, it's a heinous crime. Come on people, we're just trying to keep things manageable and fair by sticking to a rule and not making exceptions. Because y'all get very upset when we make exceptions.
They do something!
