NYPYTO, I'm afraid you're confused. In Nitrome Wiki, promotion to a bureaucrat permits one to close and conclude vital community discussions and announce a result(community enforced) On a system level, bureaucrats are able to promote users into bureaucrats.

Santi can edit and moderate our comments by virtue of his position as an administrator. Since we vested our trust in him to use his tools responsibly, so should he. Being a bureaucrat DOES NOT grant one despot level authority to control everything according to one's wishes. A bureaucrat takes a disinterested stand at the end of community discussion to deliver a fair verdict.
