Okay, so we need some new mods, as noted in Jiminy's Journal.  So far, we've had a nice little discussion going on at [[User_talk:BebopKate#Mods.3F|my talk page]] of all places, so I thought I'd move the nominations and discussions over here.

I think two mods would be a good amount to start with; we can add more down the line if we need to.  On Saturday at midnight, wiki time, I'll close the nominations and begin the voting.  Everyone will get ''two votes'' to pick the two they think are best for the job.  On Monday at midnight, I'll close the voting and announce the new mods!  If we need to add another day of voting to either, due to time zones, the weekend, etc, I might take the liberty of extending them.

I don't think I need to tell you guys this is not a popularity contest, and do make sure anyone you nominate has made significant edits or improvements to the wiki, is good at wiki editing, and is constantly helpful and polite to other editors.  Somehow, I don't think we'll have a problem with that. ^_^ [[User:BebopKate|BebopKate]] 01:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

==Discussion here!==
{{Guardian Soul|text=Well, I agree with Ultima that neither KrytenKoro or Xiggie should be mods.  There's nothing wrong with them, but they haven't spent as much time editing as the rest of the nominees.  I believe that KrytenKoro also said that he would be busy on other wikis, so we should probably have someone with more time.  That leaves it down to three people, Trois, Ultima, and myself.  In my opinion, we should just go with all three of us.  I take independent courses now so I'm usually on during the day, and when I am, I don't see Ultima or Trois on until later.  If we have all three then we can cover all bases.  If it really must be two though, Trois and Ultima.  It would be horrible if I voted for myself, and both of them would do fine jobs.}}
{{KrytenKoro|Definitely Trois. I'm not familiar at all with Xiggie or Guardian Soul, but Trois has left nothing but a good impression.}}
{{TNE|text=Guardian Soul and Ultima for me. They've been the most familiar editors, often tuning up pages and editing the tweaks - and I see how active they are like, every time I'm logged in. (I can't nominate myself.) ^_^

Anyone else ? (The rest of them are good editors too, it's just... they need more mainspace, like Ultima said.)}}
{{MM841||I completely agree with guardian soul}}
{{Xiggie|text=Me to :P

Trois, Guardian Soul and Ultima, you are probably the most active members who aren't moderators, and you all deserve to be kicked up a notch ;P}}

{{Guardian Soul|text=It seems that everyone agrees with the mods being Ultima, Trois, and myself.  Could we not just settle with that?  If everyone is agreeing, then the voting seems pointless.  I have no problem with continuing though, merely making a suggestion.}}

{{TNE|blahtext=Haven't the nominations just been closed ? I have a strong feeling that if we '''do''' vote, we're gonna count votes the way we did for Featured Media... See, there are only five of us speaking in this column and voting. I've been trying to draw in many more people and I can't seem to get any further response.

Oh well, if all else fails, I guess we might consider asking to cancel the voting process...}}

{{BebopKate|text=Sorry, real life strikes again...

Well, since you guys are the only ones who bothered to post and have your voice heard, I'm perfectly fine with what you've said, and in actually in total agreement with you.

If there are no objections, Guardian, Ultima, and Trois will be our three mods.  Kryten and Xiggie, if you keep contributing the way you've been, I'd like to keep you guys in mind for the future.}}

{{Guardian Soul|text=Sounds great. :]}}

{{TNE|remerciement=''Merci''.}}

{{Xiggie|text=Thank you Bebop Kate :D

oh, and congrats new mods :P}}

{{TNE|shocktext=Wokay. I expected nomination and voting to end but I didn't expect it '''that''' fast !

If it is confirmed... we need to learn how to use those rollback rights.}}
