There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

Declined nomination
@Carthage — Bongolian (talk) 21:02, 6 November 2024 (UTC)@GeeJayK —cosmikdebris talk stalk 20:17, 6 November 2024 (UTC)I really wanted to accept. However, despite the fiasco that my first attempt to get a PhD early this year turned out to be, I still want to try again, and I don't know if I'll be able to remain active and/or have energy to deal with drama if I get accepted on the program and get elected here. Maybe next year. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells- Probably best not.
Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 13:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC) @Techpriest — Bongolian (talk) 21:02, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Thanks for the offer, but not this year. I don't think I was active enough on the site this year to warrant taking up a mod slot next year. -- Techpriest (talk) 19:39, 7 November 2024 (UTC)@ScepticWombat Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 14:34, 7 November 2024 (UTC)I’m flattered, but I sincerely doubt I have the time to fulfil the mod obligations to anything near what the mob can reasonably expect. ScepticWombat (talk) 09:57, 10 November 2024 (UTC)@CorruptUser - KarmaPolice (talk) 21:57, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Thanks, but I simply no longer have the time to be as active as I once was, what with the kid and all.
