Basically, if there is an advocate who advoates people like this, he needs some serious cluebatting - or even refusing to accept him as advocate anymore. > Also, two advocates are not a problem for someone who should apply in > the NM queue - if there is only one project member who's willing to > advocate you, something is foul anyway.

Actually, there are (few) people right now who just go through NM in almost no time at all - like for example Thiemo Seufert needed 6 days for all the questions from his AM. I don't think that such people should be forced to wait 3 months for the full account. (One might say "normally, you need to wait for at least 3 months" - that leave space for the exceptions.)
