All current Moderators have worked hard and helped the wiki, and, consequently, gained the position. To end with, you are overeacting, it's just a title, you can still be a helpful member if you try. Do you think we will make you Moderator just because you are here everyday, disrupting the wiki activity with childish nonsense?

If you take a look in the voting process again, i'm certain that you'll find that popularity is not one of the requirements. People vote for what they choose to vote for, what happened to you has absolutely nothing to do with the wiki's rules. It doesn't need to be one of the requirments, it's just something people heavily consider. Snowbird has even admitted this to me, and you said kind of the same thing on the "Do people really hate me?" blog. The thing is, as Goldflame said, the most popular people tend to be the most helpful, the ones with the cleanest resolve, the ones with the most maturity. The role models, like Alduin and Fire Wolf Pup.
