We don't just give out rights to whoever asks nicely to be promoted. You have to prove to us that you're worthy, imo you haven't proven to me that you're up for it. You haven't actually given us meaningful reasons for your promotion. There are hundreds of users who are active on chat and have never been banned, but thats not a solid reason for promotion.

Going out of topic here, imo I feel that there has been an increasing number of people asking for promotions lately and maybe I might suggest a requirements page as I've seen on many other wikis. It might help set goals for those who actually legitimately want to have the rights for the right reasons.
