[edit] different
I'll just point out that this page which used to be transcluded (in essence) to ATIM is now different. I'm would recommend updating it here and then transcluding into the ATIM page. steriletalk 17:39, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- Don't you ever, EVER tell a moderator what to do. You are only here at our EXCLUSIVE SAY SO. AceModerator 19:19, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Mod elections
Looked around, couldn't find the answer to this question. What are the qualifications to be a moderator, in terms of length of time as a member, number of posts, etc., or are there none? Thanks. Refugeetalk page 17:43, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- There are none. Humorless fascistsociopath 17:50, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply Ty. hmmm. Shouldn't there be though? There are requirements to vote, but not to actually be a mod? What are your thoughts on this? Refugeetalk page 18:01, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

- I'm pretty good at reading body language, but sometimes not so good at deciphering the intent behind emoticons. I'd guess this indicates that you don't really care. Refugeetalk page 18:35, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- Wrong. Humorless fascistsociopath 19:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- It's been discussed before but never sorted out. In principal, the voting requirements should probably also apply to candidates, but this has never been added to mod/election guidelines, so no restriction applies. There's always one or two joke/sock/troll candidates, but as they barely garner any votes, no harm is done. Wëäŝëïöïď

[edit] Mod Elections
So apparently we're nominating moderators at the moment. I can't find the link. I would like to nominate myself, as an abolitionist candidate. MarcusCicero (talk) 17:00, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- I nominate MC for being permabanned.--Token Conservative (talk) 17:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- Vote Cicero, For a Stranger, wordier, worthless....er future! --MikallakiM 17:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- Seriously though, when are the nominations happening? Or are the moderators de facto abandoned? (I suspect they were specifically created in order to get rid of me) Or even worse, have the current caste of moderators done away with elections altogether? Have they installed a thousand year reich? Who here will stand up to them all their 'representatives' to account? MarcusCicero (talk) 18:27, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- No doubt all will be revealed when the next minutes of the RW foundation are published. I see that meetings are held at least quarterly but the last ones date from June 2012. Still, they are more up to date than the financial reports.--Weirdstuff (talk) 19:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
- The foundation is nothing to do with the moderators. ₩€₳$€£ΘĪÐ

- Oh please. This website is run like the Islamic Republic of Iran. You have the Supreme leader, 'Ayatollah' Toulouse, who issues decree's and more or less sets policy. Then he has his goons who he allows to run for moderator. I guarantee you they'll discover some technicality to disallow me from running. The list will need to be 'vetted' for 'suspicious persons'. Then, a sham election takes place (And it is always sure that the Ayatollah's candidates wins, regardless of the votes) The assertion that the foundation has nothing to do with the moderators is absurd. There is a cabal at the heart of this site, and only the election of a revolutionary liberator can expose that cabal for what it is. MarcusCicero (talk) 19:44, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
