Forum:New Mod Proposition 1

So there is a lack of chat mods in the chat for hours. In my time zone, Eastern Standard Time (EST), there is a gap starting at around 12PM and ends in the early night, when Calu, Kuro, or SHB come on. Sure, an admin or mod will pop up in the chat once in a while during the gap, but for a short time.

Therefore, I would like to have new mods to cover the really long gap. Two is probably good enough to cover the gap. Anyone else agree with me? 01:26, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. 01:27, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Sure, why not? 01:29, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed as well. 01:44, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

I guess it's needed. 01:47, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, people are agreeing so let's nominate people for mods. 02:00, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

JustSomeDude
I Nominate User:JustSomeDude.... Nominated by User:X-RAPTOR 17:26, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm going to have to turn down the nomination. In 2-3 weeks, I'll be going back to school, so I'll be less active on the wikia. I will also have some classes during the time when we need mods, defeating the purpose of this election. Thanks for the nomination though. 20:22, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

The Humaniod Typhoon
I nominate. Nominated by SeaTerror (talk) 21:10, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

I accept, now that school is coming back I'll be active more often.

AuroraOfDeath
I nominate User:AuroraOfDeath. Nominated by 21:22, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, it's very true that l don't come on as l used too, but that's mostly because there are only a few people here, and most are away :/ But l do stalk this wiki from a distance from the FT Wiki. So I can cover up Panda a little bit, we have the same timezone after all. I am mostly on in the evening UTC (cause of homework) and l can be summoned by pings (or Skype by those who have it). Anyways, l'm going to accept it ( ._.). 21:48, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

ST
I nominate User:SeaTerror (if their is one guy often on the chat...) Nominated by

I accept. SeaTerror (talk) 22:13, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

X-RAPTOR
l nominate User:X-RAPTOR so that those two are content >_> Nominated by 21:59, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

I accept. User:X-RAPTOR 00:09, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Pacifista15
I nominate User:Pacifista15 Nominated by 23:51, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Nada, but I'm going to have to decline. I don't think I fit the timezone being asked for, and I'm certainly not a chat regular. I also am going to have classes to deal with in a few days, so I wouldn't be fully dedicated. 23:56, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion
We already have enough chat mods also why are you nominating Kuro who is already a chat mod? SeaTerror (talk) 04:03, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

It's an example, Einstein. :P  04:14, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

I usually cover the chat 2:30 P.M. (EST) to about 10 P.M or a little later, except Tuesdays and Thursdays. But sorry that I haven't lately due to being the end of the semester and also because I'm in the process of moving. So it's kinda like a break for now. I'll admit that sometimes I don't even enter the chat because it seems dead like usually it only has two users who are on, such as Galaxy and ST, and they are mostly away. Around that that period it's mostly dead, sometimes someone pops up but leaves soon afterwards. Hmm... I thought Jade was going to be on much anymore... I mean I haven't seen her for a while, but welcome back. 05:03, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Nah Calu. I'm not "away". I just don't talk to myself in the dead chat. :P 05:10, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

You could though XD 05:15, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

When does the nomination period end? 1 week? 05:26, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

3 days. 05:30, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Another mod.. I guess I'm fine with that, but doesn't Jade usually joins around the same time as Calu and Nada when Kuro is on? When is the gap exactly?

Nobody addressed what I said about having enough chat mods already. SeaTerror (talk) 08:04, January 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * We don't have enough active chat mods, ST. Panda is gone again, and IH is now busy with college, and anyway he's on FT chat more often than here. Since they were supposed to cover the gap I talked about, there is now a big gap lacking mods. Though it's up to opinion, I guess. 16:15, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Well, that's alright, Calu. We understand that you got your own life and is busy with it. But even if you're active, you still can't cover the gap during school, which is what I'm aiming for. I want a mod to be able to cover that time, and you can't do that even if you're fully active because of school. 16:15, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

That gap is already filled by Panda, it's not as if she isn't coming back whitout saying anything >_>

Panda is currently inactive now and it would be better, if we had another mod that shared the same timezone as her. For instance when one is unable to watch the chat, the other could take over and we wouldn't have to worry about the lack of mod's. 17:52, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

As an average skimmer, it seems convoluted with the extra sigs and paragraphs, so I bolded the accepters. I think we should do this traditionally, just so it's a bit easier to read. 00:08, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

I apologise for going home over the holidays I guess? Back for good now, still not convinced that we need another mod for that timezone though >_> 23:49, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Panda, it's alright to take a break or whatever the hell. This is more of, who can stand in your place when you are gone. You can't be on the chat all the time, because you got your own life, but the chat can't be without mods for a long time, so we need another mod to be able to stand in for you. 01:53, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Candidates
Since the forum is about getting two new mods, you may vote for two different people. Voting twice for the same person is not permitted. You also cannot vote for yourself. To be able to vote, you must be here at the wikia for at least 3 months, and have 300 edits. Voting will end at 13, January 2013, at 1AM UTC. 01:53, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Voting Discussion
Just a quick question, but if a chat mod gets elected, does an admin have the right to veto it? 02:04, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

According to the rules, yes, but it can be overruled by 20 votes. 02:10, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
