Edit counts do not mean anything, every person has the right to have their voice heard on the wiki and a user should not be made to feel as though their opinion means nothing simply on the basis of their edit count. It's an arbitrary statistic and showcases nothing: people could have 35k edits, but it doesn't mean all 35k edits are good contributions to the wiki.

I agree somewhat with Bluesonic. Moving the moot too far then makes it impossible for those people over in Australia to join the moot. I would be fine with the moot starting around 9-10pm UTC (GMT/UK Time) since that isn't too late for most people and it still means people in Australia could join the moot.

But I really see no value in leaving the moot time as it is, because it excludes people in the center time zones completely. This wiki does not solely consist of US and Australian citizens: a large portion of members come from European based timezones and they should be able to get involved in the moot without having to stay up half the night for it.
