I approve everything in this Update; I think the Moot time is fine so far but there could be an exceptional "different time Moot" from time to time. For example, every fifth Moot? The reason the moot is that time is that when the time was discussed, that time was better for more people. We knew going in it would not be good for everybody, but we felt the moot was important and wanted to get as many people as possible.

We cant do weekdays, because things like school and work get in the way, so even if we set it up to be a few hours after the average person was out, they would still have work the next day, and we do not want the moot to have an impact on peoples schooling or employment.

Saturday was chosen for similar reason, we knew the hour had to be past "social hours" but before it got to late. We have a mild buffer with Saturdays that gives those who have schools and jobs to still get sleep and rest Sunday, and have little effect on real world obligations. When it comes down to it, we needed to pick the best time possible to get as many voices as possible, and 8pm on Saturday allowed the most people from the community to be able take part.

The moot handles subjects that are important enough to run by the community, but would take to long in the moot. There is no need to spend a week discussing templates, or confirming inactive editors should be marked that way. We where having two or three CT's a week at one point, That is insane, we are the elder scrolls wiki, not a debate club, and should do what we can to assure most of the time here is improving the wiki, while getting community feedback from who we can. We do not handle massive things, if an item becomes to large, as you can see in the summary, we agree to send it to a CT, as we believe that everybody needs to discuss this to get the best results. Then when we are done with the moot, we add the summary so everything we did is public to the community, and so far, despite some saying the hour is not good for everybody, the only real complaint is that we forget to put into place items we agreed to. If the items we discuss where crossing a line, I trust the the editors here would speak up and express this concern, but so far I recall no event as such.
