Forum:Chat mod elections

Hey everyone, N3 here!

Alright, so currently our chat is understaffed and the admins obviously can't be in there all the time. Most of the time, the chat is without staff, which is really not good as trolls/vandals can pop on at any time. So I have decided to bring back the chat moderator elections to elect people who are worthy and active enough on chat to patrol it.

How this works is that you simply nominate yourself or someone else and give a reason why you/they should become a chat mod. The users who the staff members find the most capable and have at least 10 or more support votes will be promoted, but please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that you'll be promoted, even if you have enough votes. As the staff members are the ones who have the final say. Also, please do not ask for votes. Whether if it's here, on our chat, or on other wikis, it's wrong and unfair. If we see that people are clearly asking for votes, then they will not be promoted. Trust me, we'll see right through that as we've had issues with that before. Also, please don't make this a popularity contest, such as voting just because said user is your friend. It's fine that someone is your friend, but keep in mind that you also have to think of, 'Are they active? Do they know the rules enough? Do they follow the rules?', etc.

Elections will end on May 20, 2016. Keep this fair everyone. Thanks! ,':-) ~ NThree   What are you talking about?   See for yourself. Uhh, seriously? 20:50, April 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Note: If you are nominating yourself, then please put your reasoning above the support/oppose section. If you're nominating someone else, then your reason can just be a support. Pretty self-explanatory. Also, when you have to oppose, I know being honest is good, but try your best not to hurt someone's feelings while doing so.

Nobody else wanted this username (NEWTU for short)
Reason for nominating: I do belive I have the dedication to this fandom, this wiki, and the people of this wiki to make for a great chat mod. I may be semi-new (3 months as of the time of this writting) around here. But I have already made a name for myself as a dedicated member.

 * 2) Definitely. You're always on chat, and you almost always keep a level head. You'd be an excellent chat mod. Raised By Wolves (talk) 22:13, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) You're always on the chat and you're very smart.  I can talk fluent Portuguese and Brazilian!  (Tyler?) 22:20, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

 * 5) Always in chat and always stays on topic and respectful to all users. Easy choice here.
 * 1) Always in the chat, respectful, and social. User:TDFanatic52
 * 2) You're on the "caht" for a very long time per each day. You clearly want to make it more active. And you said you'll allow crazy rps, doing censored stuff, and shipping you with Zoey. :P - ArtDraw12
 * 3) Though you haven't been here for long you've spend alot of time on the chat and I guess that's a good reason to support ya'll --JamesQuentinMoore (talk) 07:23, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) For all reasons given above. This is hard to admit, but I really wanna meet Sugar's Familly!  [[Image:Shawntells.jpg|100px]]
 * 5) I literally have never see no ou not on the chatroom XD ~Clyde Donovan
 * 6) Originally, I was against it because of you allowing the users to do some crazy stuff but I suppose that's all in good fun. For someone who has a profile picture of Brody, I shouldn't be such a downer. Also, I pretty much see you online whenever the chat is active. You have successfully changed my opinion, good luck!

 * 8) I was a bit neutral at first and because I thought you were gonna allow some crazy stuff, but looks like you really mean business. Plus, you're always on and you deserve it. You got my vote. ,':-) ~ NThree   What are you talking about?   See for yourself. Uhh, seriously? 00:33, May 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * 9) I originally didn't like you when we first met, but I do now. You're quite good on the chat, so you got my vote.-Princess Cloudy

Reason: I'm not SUPER active, but I am here fairly often and have had experience as a chat mod on a professional wiki (Regular Show). I am a fair person and only hand out punishments where necessary. Plus, I have been on this wiki since August 2012. When I am here I can totally do the job and do it well

 * 1) Nothing against you personally. But I disagree with you being active. I seldom see you. Nobody else wanted this username (talk) 23:46, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are active on the wiki, but if you wanna be a chat mod you have to also show activity in chat. I'm not trying to put you down or anything, but to be honest I barely see you in there. Maybe once you start becoming more active in chat I'll support, but as of now I have to oppose.

 * 1) For all the reasons above, you do great on the wiki, but in the chat, you aren't even there most of the time. Nothing personal against you, you do try everything to keep the wiki alive, but most of the time, chat is dead. Hate to oppose anyone, really. Sorry. User:TDFanatic52
 * 2) I don't really see you on chat often. Sorry!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Reason for nominating: Unlike other users in this wikia, I treat most things seriously, which I believed is an important trait for a chat mod. I'm also active in chat, abides with the rule and willing to help make new user feel comfortable in our wikia. I felt the need of a chat mod is more urgent than ever.

I believe that I am a good fit for a chat moderator because I am fairly active, friendly, and I try to be as productive with the wiki as I can. I also would like to be a chat moderator because I'm in a fairly big event around here and am one of the final six, being pretty active. Also, I might not be on chat very much, but if I get promoted, I promise that I will be as often as possible. User:AaliyahMoon

 * 1) You deserve it. Gordon003 (talk) 07:50, April 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't know what to say. Maybe if you get selected, you'll become more active.  Wait,  What?  14:33, April 28, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Noting personal. I have been here for 4 months and never saw you on the chat one time. I would debate you being an active chat member. Active wiki member? yes. But this is the CHAT mod elections. Nobody else wanted this username (talk) 21:16, April 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * 2) Sorry haven't seen you around. Nope.
 * 3) Being active on the wiki is different than being active on the chat. I hardly see you on the chat. Plus, I don't know you that well. You promised to be on the chat as often as possible if you get the position. I would cut you a deal: if you start being more active on the chat, I would reconsider my vote. But until then, it is what it is. Hope there are no hard feelings. User: TDFanatic52

I think I can do a wonderful job at being a chat mod. I am very active most of the time, very friendly to users, and when I see a hacker or troll, don't worry, I will be to the rescue and ban him/her immediately! I am also very responsible if I become a Chat Mod, cause i know it is a huge responsibility, I will also try my hardest! Thank you! ^^

1. I think I can do a great job being a chat mod! :) User:Shadowshroom
 * 1) I guess I'm #2, then. Anyways, Shadowshroom, I am neutral on you on being a chat mod. I am neither for you nor am I against you. This vote is strictly for experimental purposes. You seem to be a quiet church mouse when on the chat. This vote is to see if we can bring out a roaring lion from the mouse. I wish you the best of luck no matter what the outcome is.
