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)

As nominator Scholy the Wizard (talk) 21:14, 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)

Oppose
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)

All of the reasons stated above. HolyWyvern (talk) 16:07, June 13, 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)

People here have very good points, I was a bit too hasty with this nomination. Scholy the Wizard (talk) 01:12, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

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)


 * Don't we have enough Mods, already? \m/O1s£@u±D£±N£1g£\m/ ( Awaken the somneling demon )

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)

Is very kind, and insists arguments be kept in PMs. Which is pretty great, this way it doesn't flood chat. Hypomaniac (talk) 20:05, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

I was surprised when I saw he wasn't already a moderator. He would make a good one, and I don't see why he wouldn't. DivineTedrius (talk) 22:06, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

I have known Ketick for some time, and even though he may seem immature at times, he also shows maturity when the need arises. In my opinion, this is chat moderator material. Nelthro (talk) 23:34, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose
Stendarr has improved slightly over the months since he was last moderator, He was (although some time ago) Blocked for 'spamming porn links'. "developed a the ability to stay calm" This was disproven yesterday as he became angry when I myself was nominated. All the time I've known Stendarr he has been prone to insult people randomly and not be able to control his anger, If he could actually improve himself instead of (after being warned that if he continued he would be banned multiple times) say "I've changed this time, I promise." He has made multiple sexual references to different users and has treated rape like a funny subject, This is not chat moderator material.

Major improvement would be needed for me to even consider supporting stendarr for a chat moderator position, "Stendarr is kind to all of our users" This isn't even half true, as previously said, He is prone to insult people because of short bursts of anger. It would take ages for Stendarr to be logically consider to gain a chat moderator position. EmperorJohnson (talk) 19:11, June 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I am only unkind to you. I am unkind to you when you instistagte being unkind. Notice how whenever you are nice to me, I am nice to you, but the second you are unkind to me, I am unkind back? There's something called Karma. — Profile/Talk 19:28, 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)


 * You want to see me be mature even though I showed it multiple times, I will show it. I don't enforce the rules because no one listens to me because I don't have a star next to my name, anymore. — Profile/Talk 19:28, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Tends to demonstrate immaturity and will often refuse to acknowledge someone's very existence when they disagree with him and / or speak the truth rather than what he wants to hear. Short-fused, as well. Current number of Chat Moderators and respective perfomances satisfactory. \m/O1s£@u±D£±N£1g£\m/ ( Awaken the somneling demon )


 * this is untrue, he seems to frequently listen, even when I say he is wrong, or should refrain from a certain act Nelthro (talk) 23:31, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry Ket but I've never really seen you do any moderator related material yet. Scholy the Wizard (talk) 01:28, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

His last tenure as chat moderator didn't go well, and I've yet to see him do moderator related tasks. At most times he's in the chat, I find it uncommon for him to actually speak at times, and he's recent feud with Emperor Johnson has clearly not helped.

Sorry, but considering that your last time as a chat mod went pretty badly and upset the chat, as well as the fact that you don't actually do much to moderate the chat, there would be no reason to promote you. --Speysider Talk Page 15:32, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know honestly, Stendarr is not a bad user, but I haven't seen him really calm down a situation ever, and sometimes does even fall to his emotions. I would give this more time, to be honest. Zippertrain85 (talk) 20:49, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Likes-That-Tail
I would like to nominate LTT as he has helped us mods from time to time. He is friendly and mature and I believe he is suited for this job. From personal experience, he has calmed down situations and notified us mods when a user is acting disruptive.

As nominator. ℳ.Ѻẘεᾔ.ℒℱC Say Hi! stalk edits 02:47, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

LTT is overall a nice person, and doesn't act hostile to anyone else to my knowing. MisterSir (talk) 02:50, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Quite honestly, I have never been more in support of something on her. I'm surprised it has taken this long for LTT to be nominated. He's always on, he's always helpful, and he's always friendly to everyone. As someone who frequents chat daily, I have never seen him in a feud with another user, nor have I seen him try to start one. He is one of the greatest people that I have had the pleasure of getting to know, and making him a moderator would do nothing but improve our chat community. Lol Hi I'm Sienna 02:55, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

LTT is a good guy, I've seen him act friendly on the chat is there at times when mods are lacking even. I think he'll do well. Zippertrain85 (talk) 02:58, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

I think LTT deserves mod. He is a friendly person, and helps other out when the time is needed. He acts mature, but can still have fun, which I believe is moderator material. The demented Breton (talk) 02:59, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

LTT is a great guy, and he's real chill. I've seen him resolve stuff a bit, and I thought he was a good calmer-downer. Don't care if it isn't a word, it's what he is! Hypomaniac (talk) 03:02, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

I seriously, and full heartedly belive LTT has what it takes to be a moderator. The knowledge, the time, and the act. I seriously hope he wins. Even though we have enough moderators, we would be stupid to pass him up. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 04:00, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

I can currently not think of anyone else better suited for the position of Chat Moderator. Pelinal Whitestrake (talk) 15:25, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Good moderator material. --Speysider Talk Page 15:35, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Has shown to be mature, calm, and knows the chat well. Is suitable for chat mod. ゆ (talk) 16:37, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Known around chat to be supportive, welcoming and useful towards both veteran and new users. However, as Spey stated, this should be the last nomination for a while. \m/O1s£@u±D£±N£1g£\m/ ( Awaken the somneling demon )

Why? Because I like that tail that's why. Scholy the Wizard (talk) 23:57, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

All of the reasons started above. HolyWyvern (talk) 16:06, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

LTT is a great person who deserves to be a mod, he never seems to be unkind to anyone in chat and deserves to be recognized for his generally friendly, exemplary behaviour. XN3RDXD3RPX (talk) 17:15, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

If LTT is promoted, I think it should be the last nomination for a while. There are too many moderators at this point, we don't need any more of them. --Speysider Talk Page 15:35, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

I agree with Spey. There's too many mods coming in, the side of the chat looks like space with all the bright yellow stars. Too many chefs spoil the broth. MisterSir (talk) 16:07, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Rights Removal: Jett Cyber
I am making this topic to discuss the removal of chat moderator rights for user "Jett Cyber". Despite previous claims, this user does not go into chat and the last usage of the user's abilities was an abuse of the position (kicking someone by request). The contributions by the user indicate very sporadic activity on the site and most of which are posts in off-topic / roleplaying threads. Please use the voting templates as normal in the appropriate headers.

He has been on chat under 5 times. Not since I became mod. Since I joined the wiki. About 5 months I believe. Maybe 6 or 7. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 17:58, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Was extremely corrupt during the time in which he was actually active, and has been inactive for 6 months now. During my time here, I've probably seen him come online only 3 times. Pelinal Whitestrake (talk) 18:12, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
