Declined nomination

• I feel as if maybe I should stick to not being a super important role here. I appreciate the nomination though. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Natsuki Marx ♥ (talk) 12:11, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
• I am flattered by the nomination, but I have too much going on at home. I think I'll decline for now. Carthage (talk) 16:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
• Probably not. I can move this any time before the voting, right? Still, probably not. Chillpilled (talk) 17:17, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

  I view this as more of a "non-committal" than anything else, at least this early in the game. I am leaning towards "no," but I can reverse my decision at anytime. It is admittedly unlikely, but anything can happen over the span of a month. I would've ignored the nomination, but I felt compelled to respond. Carthage (talk) 17:22, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

  It should be OK to change your mind before voting starts. Bongolian (talk) 18:57, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

• Thanx , but not this time.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 18:28, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
• Thanks, but I'm not sure I'll have much time to spend on here in the coming year, and I wouldn't want to accept only to disappear. 𝒮𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃𝑒 ^talk 21:53, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
• I'm happy to be nominated, but I'm self-aware enough to realize that I don't exactly have the demeanor I would look for in a mod. I've also gone through some period of inactivity lately and will likely do so in the near future. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 00:10, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
• Thanks, but as much as I wanted to accept, I'll be reasonable here: next year will probably be a very boisterous year for RW, and I'll start my PhD. And I will do this while working. And taking care of my family (priority number one). It's possible that I won't have time and/or energy to moderate. I'll see if I can reconcile real life and RW and run next year. GeeJayK^{Where all evil dwells} _{Where every lie is true} 00:21, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
• Always appreciated. Maybe another year. There are more than enough good nominees this time around. May the best candidate win. ShabiDOO 12:26, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
• @Monet - Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 14:25, 8 November 2023 (UTC) Honestly, I truly appreciate the nomination. Although I did lurk around RW, I barely edited and I doubt this will change in the future. Monet ^Ye 17:46, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
• Thanks for the nomination, but I'd like to keep my roles here the way they are for now. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 21:42, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Invalid nomination

• @Gang O' Shadow Wizards Not enough edits. Monet ^Ye 17:24, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
• @LeftyGreenMario - Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 14:25, 8 November 2023 (UTC) Not enough edits in the last two months, although I would‘ve vote for her. Monet ^Ye 17:38, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
• @Moon Sock - Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 14:25, 8 November 2023 (UTC) Sockpuppets can’t run Monet ^Ye 17:41, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

  Looks more like a replacement account than what would typically be called a sockpuppet. Chillpilled (talk) 17:48, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

  5: No sockpuppets may run, this includes alternative accounts. Monet ^Ye 17:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

  Not much of an alternative account once you haven't used your "main" in two years, is it? Though, they don't seem exceedingly active anyhow, so I wonder if they even fit the other requirements. Chillpilled (talk) 18:06, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

  They have enough edits in the last two months (19, nine more than required). I think the main should be eligible, as the edits came from the same person. Plutocow (talk) 18:35, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

  Let's see if they even wanted to run before debating any further. Might be moot. Chillpilled (talk) 19:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

  This looks more like Marquee Moon abandoned their old account fwiw. Is this really worth arguing about? -- Techpriest (talk) 21:57, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

  This is currently, in fact, their main account. Check their use page, they lost the password to the older one. They are eligible. GeeJayK^{Where all evil dwells} _{Where every lie is true} 22:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

So you want to start mod nominations without even demoting/promoting the staff member, whose election already ended months ago?Monet ^Ye 10:29, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Done. GeeJayK^{Where all evil dwells} _{Where every lie is true} 11:49, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
