I'd advise against this. This is exactly how my company got in the predicament we're in now. I kept promotion priviliges to rank 1 to totally prevent all possible abuse and then got caught by the rank swap bug ^.

The only way to be safe is to make a mule or two, set them to rank 2/3, and give them promotion priviliges. Handle ALL promotions via the mules, or at least through a trusted officer. Never ever ever let rank 1 promote/demote people as there's just no way to be sure you won't wind up bugging them to lead of the FC.
