{{DTN|time=04:26, May 11, 2010 (UTC)|text=Alright, so it has been decided that we do want to induct two (2) new moderators. The next step in the process is for the community to select six (6) candidates from [[Special:Top/community]]. You may nominate one, two, three, four, five, or six users for the position of moderator. Please leave your nominations in an organized manner, preferably in the same format for all sets of nominations. Number-bullets work great for this, as do sub-sections containing the nominations.

*'''Edit demographic''': Select someone who concentrates their time on the most featured aspects of the wiki: <u>mainspace</u>, filespace, templatespace (to an extent), and TWTNW forums.

*'''Knowledge of coding''': An important trait for a moderator to have is a knowledge of coding. The nominee should know how to modify existing templates, modify their own talk template, and know basic insert codes for font types, colored text, images, videos, and the like. Anything extra is great as well, as coding experts are invaluable.

*'''Reliability and experience''': Select a user who has been active on the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki for a long period of time and has consistantly edited. A relatively new editor or an editor that visits the wiki once every solar eclipse is not going to be a reliable moderator. An editor who has experience with working in a group or on other wikis would be an excellent choice.

{{Xion4ever|time=21:40, May 15, 2010 (UTC)|text=Nominations started this past Monday..you think a week would be enough time? Seems like a lot of users have already voted...}}
{{BebopKate|time=03:24, May 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=How about Tuesday?  A week and a day should be plenty.}}
{{TNE|time=04:48, May 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=Good thought.}}
{{LapisScarab|time=01:13, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=So... it's Tuesday. Should there be a "The vote has closed" message at the bottom or something?}}
{{TNE|time=01:20, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Done.
The two people have been chosen, the people have voiced out ! And with 18 and 14 votes respectively : Xion4ever and ENX !
Someone go dish out the paopu to EVERYBODY ! Quick !}}
{{LapisScarab|time=01:24, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=I thought this was selecting the six who would be considered by the current and former mods, who would then make the final decision?}}
{{Xion4ever|time=01:31, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=The proposed plan I listed on the other forum was that the current staff members would choose the two moderators..however, I don't know if that was agreed upon or not.}}
{{TNE|time=01:39, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=Neither do I. But I'm doing this without fear or favour. If there's dissent, we just have to get us all to work together ! ''N'est-ce pas ?''}}
{{KrytenKoro|As far as I remember, that's what we agreed, yeah. We'll definitely take the number of votes each editor received into account, though.}}
{{DTN|time=02:52, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=Alright then, staffers, here is where our part comes in! The IRC channel should serve a suitable means of communication to make our decision, I presume. We simply need to set a date, and possibly a time as well. The weekend would seem to be when most of us would be available, so what days and times work for who? I'm available pretty much the entire weekend<!--NO MOAR CLASSES FOR TEH DTN-->.
EDIT: Change of plans. Staffers, just get your opinions to myself, KrytenKoro, or Troisnyxetienne (Ankou) on the IRC channel, and you can also receive the current stance. I think we currently have a strong agreement, but we still need the rest of the active editing staffers' opinions.}}
==The Final <s>Countdown</s> Decision==
{{BebopKate|time=05:04, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=So, it's apparently me who gets to announce the final administrative decision.
First, let it be said we all came to a strong agreement about our top three based on the work they've done, the help they've given us around the wiki, and, of course, your nominations.  It was pretty tough to narrow those three down to two, though.  In the end, after much discussion, prayer, medication, and watching of bad YGOTAS music videos, a decision was made...
The modship shall hence go to '''Xion4Ever''' and '''Neumannz'''.  Congrats to both of you guys!
However, we would like to give an honorable mention ENX and add how all of his contributions made our final choice so hard; it was mainly his current wiki-break that spurred our decision in the end.  Since the consensus of you guys was to have active mods, this was something we felt we should take into account.  However, when the call for mods comes around again, we will surely put him on the shortlist!
Thanks for your input, guys. We appreciate it, and hope this eases stuff around here just a bit more.}}
{{DTN|time=07:27, May 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=I take full credit for linking to the YGOTAS music videos... twice. HEIL GAGA.
And more seriously, congratulations, Xion4ever and Neumannz! You now have the <s>all-powerful</s> nifty little <s>banhammer</s> rollback twig. Use its ability to poke revisions out of existance a few seconds faster than before wisely! Glad to have you two on the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki's staff!}}
