All I did was a simple vote for two people and this happened (will add more as it comes through):

Me: I vote for IceKane or Bloxxy.

ZOptic (him): IceKane just got into staff, and he is not in said time zone. You must not be on that much.

Me: I'm on daily for most of the day, I don't see most of the activity from IceKane other than the chat. You can put me in the staff if you want, but if you do, I will make this wiki better than it was when I made my first edit.

Him: If you don't see much from IceKane then why would you recommend him?

Me: I would say that IceKane is shown to have an immense responsibility with the wiki chat, so I would like to see his actions with the wiki itself.

Him: All moderators have an immen s e responsibility within the wiki chat. Based on your logic you should be recommending all the moderators.

Me: This is who I vote for staff/promotion for and why:

EpicBloxxy - DISCUSSIONS MODERATOR to ADMIN - ever since I first talk to him on the chat, he has made the chat very clean to follow censorship

IceKane - CHAT MODERATOR to ADMIN - Kane has shown an example of what a MOD should be in every way. Ice has also followed the chat in censorship.

Mew Pur Pur (Espe) - MEMBER to CHAT MODERATOR - Espe is not a staff member yet, but has shown more responsibility than a regular member of the wiki should. She has shown an example of what a new member should be, because most of the new members who joined after me are shown to have the lack of censorship. Allowing her this title will have her to block those who do not follow censorship to be banned.

Sliceanddice23 - DISCUSSIONS MODERATOR to ADMIN - Slice has shown a braver example of what a future admin can be and what they can do. Slice has also shown a better responsibility than most chat mods.

MasterL500 - DISCUSSIONS MODERATOR to ADMIN - Master is an example similar to Hackey5. Master has done more than any other chat mod has done before, or ever will after him. Master could be the new Hackey5.

Unrelenting GD - MEMBER to CHAT MODERATOR - Although an extreme newbie, Unrelenting has shown A LOT of responsibility for somebody who has joined very recently. I also talked to him on the chat, and, like Espe, is a rising star on the wiki who should be spotlighted as a good faith user.

WikiaJordan - MEMBER to CHAT MODERATOR - I am not voting myself just for the title itself, I am just saying that I too would show an IMMENSE responsibility on the wiki chat as Slice, Master, and Bloxxy have. I am also voting for myself as I would like to improve and promote the idea of censorship of the wiki chat.

Him: Although some will disagree with me, I personally think censorship on chat is not all that important as we all let some profanity loose as long as it's realy kept to a minimum. (But usually all profanity referring to sexual inuendos will be administered punishment which doesn't happen very often at all)

I think it is quite inaccurate to compare Master to Hackey5, as they do not in no way compare. Look how many edits Master has and look how many edits Hackey has. Master's been here way longer than I have and I already have 100+ more edits than he does. (no offense Master) As for how their chat moderating goes, I feel like everyone can do a good job chat moderating given they take advantage of an opportunity. I would also like to keep in mind this is for admins only too, as we are getting a bit off topic.

Your idea of promoting seems way different than ours, as I can see that you recommended all moderators for a promotion except for me. That's probably because you have not seen me in action. If that's the case, I don't blame you. However, your statements about "doing better than any other moderator" are inaccurate considering you have not even seen me in action yet, and considering that at least a few people are voting for me to say the least (thank you guys by the way :P), I would say you're missing a huge piece in the puzzle here. I hope you aren't just giving suggestions out in the dark just to make yourself look like you're contributing and therefore look ready for a promotion yourself.

Back to your idea of promoting: If a moderator acts the way a moderator should, that in no way means they earn an administrator position. I suggest reading IceKane's post below to get an idea of just how responsible an admin really needs to be. If a user is friendly, that also doesn't mean they earn a spot in staff. Giving promises to the wiki is also not a way to get promoted, as everyone is doing that every day as well as fulfilling them. You don't require a staff position to be an awesome contributor to this wiki.

Again, all chat moderators have a huge responsibility; the question should be as to whether or not they are able to fulfill that responsibility.

Personally, judging from your suggestions, I'm going to say you don't know the community as well as all the other regulars do. That's what it seems to me.

Oh, by the way, Espe is indeed a male. It says that on his profile.

Me: Although I do not know much of the community and that I am a very biased "newbie", as how my judgements to some people and myself above, but those judgements are just conclusions I jumped to to describe their actions and their effects to the community including myself. I am just trying to know more about the community, as this is actually help me to know more about you and other mods and admins.
