QueenFinelia
The chat really needs more mods. I am on every day. I know and always follow the rules, etiquette and terms of use. And as you would say in Skyrim while becoming thane, I am known throughout this hold :P I love helping people too <3 :3 G0LD3NF1RE, who I'm sure you all know and love, hes been giving me some training, so I have a little experience too. Besides that, while I do not have powers such as kick and ban, I have been dealing with the rule breakers in the chat and given them warnings every chance I get. Sadly most of them don't listen to a person without a star to thair name :/ Anyway :D I hope you give me a chance <3 :3 Queen Finelia &#937; the Mighty High Goddess of God Dimension &#8859; (talk) &#5099; 00:37, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

-G0LD explained that he helped walk Queen through what we need, and has shown she understands the rules and policy. I trust G0LD's judgment in this and I think Queen will be able to handle the job well. She is in chat a lot, and while she is not a regular editor on the wiki, I do not think that will have any effect on protecting the chat.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:58, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Through CheapCodeChamp's clarification, I am willing to reverse my vote to a support. Finelia is an option greater than having no chat moderator on at most times. Should she rush her kicks/bans, or anything of the sort, I'll be the first to question/correct it if I am online. I do believe it is worth a shot, and that she should have a moment to prove herself in action. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 02:14, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

QueenFinelia has shown that she is knowledgeable with the chat rules and TOU, and likes helping people out on the forum, and on the chat, answering questions. She knows her way around the wiki and helps with directing TES Wiki related questions of chat visitors to the appropriate pages. She may not be helping edit articles in the mainspace but she likes helping around the TES Wiki and Wikia in general, so I believe she will make a good, helpful chat mod. 05:30, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

I am going to support QueenFinelia as she is often helping people on Chat and guiding new members (such as myself) throughout their journey on this wiki. She has proved to be a good friend and a trustworthy companion. I would feel really glad if the staff on this wiki agree to give Finelia a chance. ThatDirtyShisno (talk) 10:09, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

QueenFinelia has been a help to me ever since I joined. She has helped with testing a edit I've worked on with her and another user, and she has helped the other users when help was needed. TES chat isin need of new cmods and I believe QueenFinelia would make a great one for, the help she has provided and over all edit experience and wiki.

Qahnaarin1997 (talk) 10:10, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Finelia has been helpful to other users on chat as long as she has been there and generally is a very nice person to talk to. She is also very much on chat and active almost all of the time there, which is a very big plus. I have also tutored her a bit on how to act in different situations and how to act accordingly. 11:03, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Oppose
It is my belief that Finelia, while kind, is too quick to make judgement without considering circumstances or intent. It was seen once today already that she saw a simple joke as harrasment towards another user, and immediately moved on it. That is not a quality that should be sought in a moderator, and could lead to kicking or banning people who have done nothing wrong. I see no true reason to give her the moderator status or tools. Fluffyzerglin (talk) 02:09, August 28, 2015 (UTC)Fluffyzerglin

QueenFinela has not shown any skill, resource, or done anything that would put her in place for chat moderator. She has not defused any proper situations, has not taken control of any situations, and has not shown even the amount of attention required for chat moderator rights. I have no doubt this proposal will get many supports from her friends for the simple fact they are friends, and all I have to say is- I will immediately lose respect for anyone who votes unfairly. QueenFinela herself knows a good portion of the modern userbase on chat, but hasn't shown any situation where she is suited for the power/tools. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the user in question. She has never wronged me in any way in the past, and I am not being bias in my vote. I am able to question when need be, though. If any situation arises that she fixes, anyone points out why she would be justified to have the power/tools, or anyone can even point out why she (and not a more adapted user, of which we have many) should gain the position, I will change my vote. In fact, I am on chat a good amount. I have NOT seen QueenFinela acting against "rule breakers in chat", and I have NOT seen her taking any action to "warn" them. I do not think she has the seriousness needed for the position.

RenzXVI
I am RenzXVI and I am applying for the chat mod position due to the often lack of chat mods available in the chatroom at times they are needed. At first, I had no plans on applying as a chat mod because I am one of the "weirdest" regulars on the chatroom, it may not look good in the professional point of view, but a few people have suggested that I could make a decent chat mod, specially since I spend half of my day active on chat. I am knowledgeable about the chat rules and TOU, and I have helped report vandalism on both the chat, and on the mainspace to a staff member. I am also currently mastering the chat rules and TOU to further my knowledge and understanding of how the rules work. I may not have been contributing much on the mainspace of TES Wiki, but I know my way around the TES Wiki, how editing works and the-like through self study, I like learning about everything. I am not promising I'd be less "weird" on chat, but when it comes to enforcing the rules, I value logic and reason over emotions. No bias! :D 06:05, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

-I think having people in chat with mod rights is a huge need for us right now, and I have been told by several people Renz would be a good choice and has shown good judgment in dealing with matters that arise. I would recommend that Renz speak with G0LD about being Chat mod so G0LD can see if he can help him prepare some, just to make the transaction a little easier.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:37, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Ren would be an awesome mod. He knows the rules, is fair and always present in the chat. I was shocked when he wasn't gonna apply so I talked him into it :P Queen Finelia &#937; the Mighty High Goddess of God Dimension &#8859; (talk) &#5099; 07:59, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Renz would be a great moderator (I hope I spelt that right). He is always reporting troublesome members and often helping out newer members (such as myself and Kora Stormblade). I believe he would make a valuable asset to the moderator team :) ThatDirtyShisno (talk) 10:17, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

RenzXVI has helped me ever since I joined, he has answered my questions on TES chat and also other's questions on the forum. TES chat needs new cmods and I think he would be a great one. He is also present in chat a lot so he could monitor it a ton.

Qahnaarin1997 (talk) 10:23, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Ren has been on chat for a long time and all of the times been helpful and respectful towards all other users, while he might be a bit "weird" at times (Who isn't) He still goes to great lengths to try and help out other users. I have not yet had a Moderator course with tips and tricks, but that will hopefully change today 11:07, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Of all the newer chat regulars I trust renz judgement the best and he is in chat as often as he can be,got my vote as well renz Blitzbear93 (talk) 11:12, August 28, 2015 (UTC)Blitzbear93

I do believe that RenzXVI would make a good Chat Moderator because he knows when how and why someone should be stopped for doing the wrong thing. He is also regularly on the chat, sometimes even when no-one else is. For these reasons I believe Renz would be great for the role of Chat Mod. MAXISAWESOME1213 (talk) 13:14, August 30, 2015 (UTC)

Pelinal Whitestrake
The chat is in dire need of active and rule-following moderators. I left the wiki and resigned from all of my positions roughly 2-3 months ago due to some other matters, but I now feel like I can follow and enforce the duties of a chat moderator again.

As to why I believe that I have the appropriate skills for that; I have been a forum and chat moderator on this wiki for one and a half year until I resigned, starting from February 2014 and ending at ~June 2015. Throughout that time, I have collected a very large amount of experience regarding the wiki guidelines and general wiki 'politics', especially during the debacles which happened in this wiki during 2014 and early 2015. In every reevaluation which happened during the year 2014, which were 2-3, I passed thoroughly with only 1 to 2 opposes at maximum, and I have never had any major trouble with the leading staff in my time here. During late 2014 and early 2015, I virtually solely moderated the chat and the forum for two months, that being due to the unfortunate event of most admins resigning in an instance.

TL;DR, due to the chat's current situation, I would like to take the position of chat moderator once again and enforce the wiki guidelines in it. Pelinal the Whitestrake, the Bloody and Insurgent ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o) (talk) 10:34, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

One of the best moderators we ever had. Was more helpful to the wiki than just about anyone else. This user single handedly helped our wiki each day, and has already proven himself in the past, with a clean record. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 15:06, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

I personally wasn't here when he was a mod but I trust that that's true and he has been active in chat lately so I don't see why not :3 Queen Finelia &#937; the Mighty High Goddess of God Dimension &#8859; (talk) &#5099; 10:44, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

I rember when Pelinal was here so i0I rember him being trustworthy got my vote Blitzbear93 (talk) 11:10, August 28, 2015 (UTC)Blitzbear93

While i have not seen how Pelinal moderates a chat from his past experience i still think he will do a great job in the future. He has alot of know-how from being both a chat and forum moderator, so i think he will do just fine without any chat moderating help as Finelia and Renz got. 11:13, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Neutral
I decided to go neutral on Pelinal's request to become a chat moderator as I haven't seen him on chat before. But I wasn't going to oppose because that seemed quite harsh on him and you never know, he could turn out to become a great chat moderator. I hope the voters are merciful and give him a chance like I am. ThatDirtyShisno (talk) 10:41, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Oppose
You've spammed and caused drama repeatedly, and ignored warnings about your behavior. Not to mention getting banned from chat. Should be pretty obvious. --Shockstorm (talk) 01:58, August 31, 2015 (UTC)
