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. GeeJayK ^{Where 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. CorruptUser 07:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
~~@Ioe bidome - Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 20:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)~~ Don't have the time or desire Ioe bidome (talk) 21:11, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Invalid nomination

@Stabby the Misanthrope Sure. I accept. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 02:02, 7 November 2024 (UTC) - Not enough edits in the last two months. Monet ^Ye 12:40, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

What happens if we don't have any reserves? Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 18:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

We have occasionally operated with 5 moderators without it being a problem. Bongolian (talk) 18:37, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
