Edit: what Reina said does concern me if it’s been an continuous issue. I think if that’s the case it may be better to give it more time to improve on some of these things and try again next month rather than jump right into it to ensure the issue won’t continue. I still believe Salty has the potential to succeed in the role but timing is everything. So just going to leave my observations below rather than a “vote,” as people call it or whatever. I will say though based on my conversation with salty I think he can also use that time to improve on what I did suggest to him regardless if it's denied or approved
From my interactions with Salty I could tell he is everything you would expect from someone in a Discord Moderator position. He's always helpful, level-headed, I have seen him firsthand take the job seriously, knows how to not undermoderate or overmoderate(from what I have seen myself), and shows a genuine interest in bettering the community and making it as welcoming and positive as possible.
I understand the concern about taking on more responsibility and the burnout but really do not see the issue as an issue to hinder promotion if he shows confidence in himself and knows his boundaries for overdoing things. Everyone needs a step back sometimes, it's normal. I would be concerned if it was an in-game promotion to Moderator and climbing those ranks a bit too fast. Being a Discord Mod and taking on that additional responsibility compared to a Moderator in one the game servers(by this I mean TTT and PH, sorry murder and DR :) jk ), is a lot more manageable than having to bear the burden of being on a computer, logging into the game, and carrying out all the responsibilities that come with that rank on top of in-game responsibility.
Considering how under-staffed the discord is it would also be nice to have another Moderator who is a well-known, active, and respected face in the discord as a ban-capable person.
As for criticism, I might have one small suggestion rather than a "criticism" to work on but I will tell you privately because it was just something I observed once and I'm not sure if it's actually an issue with you or not, so would not to be fair to put it here. (it's nothing big dw).
