Declined nominations

 * I'm not nearly as active as I used to be. 02:56, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I do love being a perennial candidate, but unfortunately I haven’t edited 100 times in the past two months. —Sophie (talk) 11:10, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Really not enough free time to fully participate. Millennium Scallion (talk) 13:25, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Kazitor sincerely appreciated, but not worth my time. —Kazitor Kazitor sig pic.png 22:29, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Shabidoo It's not my thing thanks. Shabi  DOO  02:03, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * BabyLuigiOnFire I greatly appreciate being nominated, but I feel like I'm quite not active enough to be qualified for the moderator role, at least not yet anyway. 17:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Absolutely do not have the temperament for it right now. Nominate me again when the nazis drop back out of our culture.  ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 17:25, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm far too inactive and way too busy IRL to moderate this place, although I do appreciate the nomination. 19:35, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * No, thank ye though. 20:54, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Basically all my contributions are in WIGO, and I'm pretty sure I would be subpar at moderating to say the least. 𝔊𝔬𝔞𝔱-𝔈𝔪𝔭𝔢𝔯𝔬𝔯 𝔅𝔦𝔤𝔰 (𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔡𝔰 𝔬𝔣 𝔴𝔦𝔰𝔡𝔬𝔪/𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔦𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔰) 04:07, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Pending I meet the requirements by the 16th. If nominated, I will not decline; if ruled unqualified, I will not stop my castigation of any appeal systems; if elected, I will strive to be a figure like Cincinnatus.Eponymous (talk) 04:21, 9 November 2018 (UTC) Ineligible under the 300 edits rule. 06:33, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I seek to file a petition for review to the Superior Moderation Court for a de novo review and ruling on the question of when does the election start? Eponymous (talk) 21:16, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * November 2nd, the start of Nominations and Campaigning? Then I must wait in lamentation.
 * November 19th, the start of Voting? Then I have time to meet the requirements.
 * You're right, I would consider the start of the election to be the first day of voting. However, one of the other requirements is 6 months activity. --RWRW (talk) 21:22, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I just noticed you've stated you have older accounts here. You may wish to bring this up at RationalWiki talk:All things in moderation but, if what you say is true, I think you should be allowed to run. --RWRW (talk) 22:18, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * If for no other reason that to establish clear candidacy requirements for future contributors and protect their passive suffrage, I will submit my strategic litigation case to the Moderators in short time. To the drafting board! Eponymous (talk) 23:02, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Note that the rules also say, "No sockpuppets may run, this includes alternative accounts." Cosmikdebris (talk) 23:48, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * In case this needs to be clear: You must meet all the requirements in the rules at the time of accepting your nomination, this means you have until the end of nominations to meet the requirements and accept your nomination. This is not the same time as the start of voting. Additionally: You smell of old foot cheese, but as long as this is your main account now that's fine. The anti-sock rule is to prevent stupidity like someone running with two accounts, or running with an alt while active with their main account. 01:29, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The ambiguity of the system has been clarified. I had planned on marathoning some quality edits on topics I feel could be fleshed out last week and this past weekend, but I came down with a nasty cold and do not see qualifying by the 16th. Well, I suppose small victories and next election. Thanks! Eponymous (talk) 11:24, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Account is less than six months old. Cosmikdebris (talk) 21:59, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Would have declined immediately if I had gotten to this sooner. There are many users who are more experienced and more deserving of the job than me. —  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 21:14, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

OpenSTV ballot readers
We would like to have at least 1 non-candidate OpenSTV reader. It's pretty easy -- you need only have a few hours of free time in late November 2018, the ability to use the linux cli, and a very complicated almost completely undocumented python program. [It's not that bad -- just regex'ing the ballot and running the python with cl arguments. Monkey could do it. 16:51, 2 November 2018 (UTC)]
