Indeed, we are aiming for people that are somewhat established on the wiki. This is a position that requires responsibility and trust in the individual's good judgement and interpersonal skills. Discussion Moderators have the ability to delete comments, lock threads, and moderate the functions of the chat. They will also be responsible for acting as a representative of the staff as a whole. These are not things that we are comfortable giving to someone that we barely know, simply because of their enthusiasm or eagerness.

A record of good conduct and established history are vital to this position. It allows us to get a sense of how the candidate interacts with the community at large, how familiar they are with the standards and rules of the Wiki, and how they may fit into our wacky band of Wiki staff.

At this moment, it seems like this thread is primarily nothing but people nominating others without consulting them. As such, we're going to ask that people please cease with nominations. It's getting extremely chaotic, and making it harder to keep track of who are actual candidates are.

Let the people that are interested in the position step forward themselves, instead of trying to push them.
