Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-25407271-20150608211323

It's been a long time since the last announcement of this procedure was posted, and we are finally running the elections to choose the Wiki new Chat Moderators, and Moderators! Read about them here.

The key point here is allowing you guys to have some input on who should look after your social spaces to keep them the awesome way they should be so that things do not get out of hand; to have members of the community step up to more influencing rolls because you trust that they can help the wiki be an even better experience for you, and for others.

This thread is the first step of gathering new Moderators. This thread consists on nominating the people you want to keep your place safe. You have until 19/06/2015 (-4,5 - Caracas | La Paz) to post your nominees. Here is a link for a countdown.

Rules  of the nomination process

 ·           Any registered user can nominee a maximum of 5 persons.

 ·           A user must receive at least 3 nominations before they are considered an eligible candidate.

 ·           The candidate needs a minimum of 100 edits (currently) in addition to general good behavior and positive attitude over an extended period of time. Verified candidates may personally decline, therefore cancelling their nomination.
