I always do this with my promotions, to make sure if anything goes wrong I have the proof.
Anyways, perhaps one day you were sitting at a station and someone promotes you, whispering you to change your motto to your new rank. And so you do it, but that person forgets to post it on the log and someone sees that its not on there, you may get accused of self promotion. What I usually do is take a screenshot of the person whispering me the new motto, full screenshot not edited. Have it stored handy somewhere on the computer just in case if this situation happens.
Anyway I thought this could be helpful to some. I always do it, maybe it can help you too.
