I am going to +1 this as I have seen nothing but good from Rand over the time I have spent on the server with him. Personally I am someone who is wholeheartedly apposed to setting artificial time barriers on a person. Promotion should solely be based on the potential of the candidate, and what the candidate has previously demonstrated. If Rand has shown he is competent enough to be a mod, then there is no reason to hold him back.
