EJ has been helping around in the chat a lot lately, when things get out of hand he's never to slow to try and put things back in order, he's very helpful and for this I think he deserves to be a mod. Scholy the Wizard (talk) 20:34, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Support
I support EJ. His behaviour improved over the last few months, and espescially the last days proved that he'd do a better job at moderating the chat than some other actual Chat Moderators. Pelinal Whitestrake (talk) 20:36, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

EJ is helpful to the chat and has acted maturely on many occasions as well as cooling down many arguments. I believe he should be a mod. MoS(Annoy me. Do it.)(Become a Stalker Today!) 20:47, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with all the other supporters, EJ has definetly improved and could make a good moderator. I'll give him a chance.DivineTedrius (talk) 21:18, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Look, Ej, I like you. But your habits or foul language, insulting users, disregarding others, and bringing drama into chat work as a sort of fire wall to your progress. Work on these things and try again. Hell, I'll nominate you if you prove you can change ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 02:13, June 11, 2014 (UTC) I have not actually seen him help in chat. 20:39, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

EJ has shown multiple times to be hot-headed and aggressive towards people who disagree with him, giving him the ability to ban other users could most likely lead to trouble for the chat. Zippertrain85 (talk) 20:45, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

I have met and spoken with EJ on many occasions, I have known him for almost a full year now, I do not belive him being a Chat Moderator is a good idea Nelthro (talk) 20:53, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

EJ is not Moderator material. He has ended issues, what, twice from what I heard. Yesterday being one. Another being a few months ago. The reason I oppose him is because before this month, all he would do is shit on people, whether Main Chat or Private Messages. I've personally been attacked by EJ multiple times on Main Chat. Another User, who I will not mention, has been personally attacked by EJ on Main Chat. On PMs, he harrasses me, even when I told him to stop. He's manipulated many friends of mine while doing nothing good. He's matured abit, I will admit, but he has not done anything worthy of the honorary title of Chat Moderator. He's only improved this month. I genuinely feel once he gets the small power of Chat Moderator, he'll stretch it a long ways and become a Corrupted Moderator. The first, if memory serves me right. — Profile/Talk 21:13, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

He seems to have a habit of swearing. Like, a lot. (Admittedly it can be funny, but it's certainly not necessary) He also is somewhat offensive towards people when he is speaking. No hard feelings, man. Hypomaniac (talk) 21:20, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't think EJ is suitable for the position of chat moderator, while he has shown improvement, multiple times there have been problems involving said user. Anyone is capable of moderating a chat, it's a different situationy when it comes to having the correct mindset and having the ability to stay calm in demanding situations. ゆ (talk) 21:26, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

There isn't a sane person who would support EJ. He's incredibely vulgar and manipulative. He also tends to deliberately coerce others into losing faith in their friends. I don't care what anyone says, EJ is a living catastrophe. \m/O1s£@u±D£±N£1g£\m/ (Awaken the somneling demon )

I agree that EJ might have shown some growth and improvement regarding "being helpful", but is that what Chat Mods are all about? How about we Mod everyone who acts decently in chat? Lemme cut it out for you: it won't work. I'll start by calling out on his edits. 14 edits on main. True, edits are not a requirement anymore, but 14? Also, EJ might be "helpful", but what about his character? Much like Stendarr pointed out, EJ fails miserably in this aspect. I've received a number of complaints from various users I will not name, for respect for them. Notg only disagreements, no, but direct offension against them, for the sole purpose of hurting. And those very recently, too, which shows me EJ may have improved as an user, but not as a person. And what does it matter? Chat Mods need to be not only helpful, but nice, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Also, would I trust EJ? My answer is no. I've also had a few complaints because of him either telling things I told him in private, explicitly stating that it was to be kept a secret, or by saying I've done things I actually never have. If it was up to me, EJ would never be a Chat Mod. Now, one might argue my opinions are biased, to which I cannot deny, but I can assure nothing I said here is a lie, and people here know I'm not one for lying. PLPellegrini (talk) 23:32, June t10, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry EJ, I like you and all, but you are not moderator material at all. Some of the things you say and do are very questionable and I think it would be for the best that you remain a normal user. --Speysider Talk Page 11:57, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Neutral
I thought about my vote again, and I think EJ isn't fully ready to become a Chat Mod yet. I'd give him 1-2 more months before supporting him. Pelinal Whitestrake (talk)

Comments
@ Pickle: Really? You were probably not Online yesterday evening when the whole Zipper accident happened. EJ exactly like a Moderator would behave (which Zip didn't, btw) and tried to solve the situation. Pelinal Whitestrake (talk) 20:41, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

@AES: Even if that did happen, we should not give people moderator status for a one-time incident. The reason we have so many mods who don't do their jobs is because we gave the job too willy-nillily. If, however, he does more things to warrant him becoming a chat mod, I will consider changing my vote. 20:46, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Trying to start an argument AES? Not very mod like... Zippertrain85 (talk) 20:55, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

@Pickle, thing is that what happened yesterday wasn't a one-time incident. As I said in my support-post, EJ has been improving over the last few months. He also often tries to enforce the rules if moderators don't. @Zip, I wasn't trying to start an argument. I simply mentioned what happened yesterday. Pelinal Whitestrake (talk) 20:59, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

I don't deserve to be a chat moderator at the moment, as a slow improvement is not the same as what moderators have got. However some of the opposements are downright hypocritical, But I shall not get into this for 'fear' of being called biased. EmperorJohnson (talk) 21:33, June 10, 2014 (UTC)

Stendarr God of Justice and Mercy
At first, Stendarr seems like a playful user who can get into fights with time, as we all do. But with time to improve, and multiple conversations about the subject, I believe he is ready. I do not nominate who I do not believe can do the job. I check and look into it, and with Labcoatbilly, I believe I am good at choosing moderators. Stendarr is kind to all of our users, started last week to keep any and all arguments in private messaging, knows many users on a personal level, has worked for and developed a the ability to stay calm and not put wood on the fire so to speak when insulted or in an argument, is a frequent user on chat, one of the most known users, and has the mindset needed to moderate a chat. I know we are not in need of more chat mods at the time being, and should be cutting back, but I believe this is an opertunity we should not pass up.ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 18:53, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with what has been stated above. Stendarr has acted like a mod should, and has lately been keeping the arguments in the PMs. I also think he has the attitude and patience for a chat mod. The demented Breton (talk) 18:57, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but he is still too immature to be a mod. I've also never really seen him enforce the rules. Pelinal Whitestrake (talk) 19:07, June 11, 2014 (UTC)
