Mew is frequently active in my timezone and has often been the only chat moderator present when I check in. Mew is also an older member who has stood by many past conflicts and has been able to grow and learn from those experiences, I'm sure. I do not disagree with you. However, being present in issues and running yourself distant from them does not give you any insight or relevant experience. Admittedly, he is active, more than any other would like to be, but again, that does not mean there is the suitable occurrence. I reemphasize he stays a chat moderator for longer so he can adapt himself to the responses of the community, he is used to looking at what they do, he is not used to what to do when they act. He already knows by all of this that he is being looked over to become the next moderator and he can use that to motivate himself, but for the moments I do not think we need a moderator, and I do not think that he is apt to comply.

However, it occurred to me that we have not ever had a staff evaluation. By that, I mean getting us all together and asking and determining the extent of contribution each of us is willing to put in. We all contribute in different amounts and different ways, so perhaps it would be helpful if we figured out where we all stand in that picture. This will also help us determine who of the staff might wish to retire, like in Slice's case, and where replacements may be necessary. I sense we are nearing a transition stage and an evaluation would make this significantly more clearer to everyone. That I can agree with. Establishing a time where we all can meet seems deeply questionable, however. There had been times where all the staff arrived to face one another in the chat, but that was the old times when we did not have time-consuming real life obligations. What are you up to?
