Make respected harder to attain ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Metrocop]

So as you probably know there has been a surge of people applying for respected recently, and with quite a lot of respected as there is, it really dilutes the "specialness" and potentially the responsibility associated with being respected. So it might be a good idea to tighten up the application process (we need to build a wall ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)) A way to do this might be increasing the number of refs needed to gain respected, needing a ref from the owner or a superadmin, or just having a chunkier block of text about why they should have respected. Goodnight and God bless America. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
