Blutbad
I want to help with the forums, and there is an opening.Blutbad (talk) 18:16, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose
Just because there's an opening, we do not rush to fill it. I do not feel this user is active enough on either the wiki or the forums. Bronkiin (talk) 18:22, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

As Bronk stated, we should fill openings with users that are incapable of taking all of the responsibility. Not only has this user stated that they didn't know what spamming was (even though they now know due to us telling them, that shows little experience), but have also asked if they could "troll" rulebreakers, and in my eyes, simply do not have the personality or professionalism required. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 18:29, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure about his forum activity, but judging his from recent contributions, even though they are greatly appreciated, he needs to gain more experience in editing. The Cat Master (talk) 18:41, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry Blut but you are not active enough nor have you been participating on the wiki long enough and you are not familiar enought with policies and practices. I'll have to oppose this. Hope you don't hate me. &#8752; High Goddess Venus-Afrodite-Finelia &#937; Mighty Ruler of the Gods &#8859; ( talk ) &#5099; 18:48, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

(Btw not trying to promote myself or anything here ;) ) He doesn't show the capacity to be a staff member as of yet. Just now he nominated a user without their consent. I don't think Blut is ready.

I know I shouldn't vote for or against myself but I have to agree here. I am probably not ready. However; I would try to improve so that I'm better on the wiki than I am, if I were to get it, or even before I try for the next time. 18:03, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

Ottoman Hold
Well, since Azura has just resigned, we need another forum moderator. I was told by a few users I could fill the job, so I am applying. I visit the forums pretty commonly, and I always try to keep a level head. I try to keep the peace as much as possible, and when I see a user being aggressive, I try to tell them to stop. I think I could make a decent forum mod.

Support
Otto is active on the forums and the wider wiki. He is mature, dedicated and competent. He takes the initiative to start discussion, and to create new threads when one becomes too large. He is always mindful of the rules, and is a well known and respected member of the forums. He will learn fast and do a great job. Bronkiin (talk) 18:25, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Otto is active all around. As Bronkiin says, he's mature and dedicated. I just generally agree with Bron. Blutbad (talk) 18:27, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

As one of the people that told Ottoman to apply, I have to support. It would be asinine not to. As for my reasoning, Ottoman has the time needed, the necessary personality for the job, has a reputation for himself, and the capability to fully take the responsibility and take control of the forums. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 18:31, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

He's active in the forums, and is an experienced editor. I think he has what it takes. The Cat Master (talk) 18:46, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Agree with above :3 &#8752; High Goddess Venus-Afrodite-Finelia &#937; Mighty Ruler of the Gods &#8859; ( talk ) &#5099; 18:54, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Per above.

Otto is very active on the forums and answers loads of questions. He knows how to edit quite well and is good with people, and is overall very mature. I'm sure he'll be an excellent forum moderator. —Atvelonis (talk) 01:28, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

Otto is active on chat and in the forums. he deserves to get this position. Ashley Kirshbaum (talk) 18:42, March 3, 2016 (UTC)

Active, already filling the gap Azura's left, responsible, gets on well with people, nice guy, nominated him already before I saw he'd already replied. Pelagius the Geek (talk) 20:19, March 4, 2016 (UTC)

~*LilithRayn*~
I have noticed that we only have 2 active forum mods and I would like to help out. I started out here by trying to help answer questions in the forums, and would like to be able to contribute to them more. I will make a point to be as active as possible and check them repeatedly while I am on. I am not scared to ask for help if I don't understand something either, so I won't mess anything up either. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope I can help. ^_^ (~*LilithRayn*~ (talk) 18:30, April 14, 2016 (UTC))

we desparately need more forum mods, seeing how we have discussions now, and lilith is the right person for the job in my opinion Ashley (talk) 18:33, April 14, 2016 (UTC)

Mature and compassionate, would be a great asset in this area. --Shockstorm (talk) 20:08, April 14, 2016 (UTC)

Is friendly and willing to help out. Has the brain for it. Tbh there aren't many really who are more suited. I think she'll do a great job. I'm gambling that she'll respond to this application's success (should it come to that) with increased activity in the forums. Bronkiin (talk) 20:59, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

for reasons stated above.I respect her and I belive she can do this wellBlitzbear93 (talk) 07:27, April 18, 2016 (UTC)Blitzbear93

Lilith is a very nice person and would make a great forum mod in my opinion. The imperial battlemage (talk) 08:38, April 18, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * I agree that we need more forum moderators. I've become a little busier myself. The problem is, Lilith started editing today. I want to see a good few weeks of responding to the forums at minimum before I support. At current, She's not the most active user (she's said multiple times due to real life). Lilith is a great person, but at current she does not have experience in the forums, nor has she really edited in a while before today.

While I do not doubt that she is able to give good advice and help on the forum, as Otto pointed out she has only recently started editing the forum. It feels like to me that she's doing it because she wants to position, not because she wants to help. Maybe she can apply again after helping out in the forum for some time. &#8752; High Goddess Venus-Afrodite-Finelia &#937; Mighty Ruler of the Gods &#8859; ( talk ) &#5099; 02:14, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

I have to agree with Ottoman and Fin here, although I do disagree with the position title part. Lil would no doubt be a great forum mod., however, I would love to see more activity from her first. I'd much rather have the knowledge that Lil will stay on the board instead of being active for a week, then completely dropping the ball. We need more forum moderators, yes, but I feel that we should take this a little more carefully than having a user that has for the most part just started using forums be given rights. After seeing her work on the forums for a while longer, I would love seeing her put as a forum mod.

Neutral
While she does follow the rules and is a respectable user, I haven't seen her edit nearly as much as what should be required for this position, and as Ott said isn't the most active user here. Just because we need more forum moderators, doesn't mean we should rush to fill in the holes. If she starts editing more and shows she can keep the schedule steady to give time to this position, I will change my vote. -Kora Stormblade (talk) 18:32, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
