| As for the mods who replace them, '''''remember this''''': a mod should be an example of the "ideal editor", or as close to one as they can get. Basically, I don't want them to complain, cause/fuss about drama, be a huge WikiPrincess on the user talk pages, and they should be currently active in contributing to the growth of the wiki. No warnings is something I also would like to see in a new mod. Remember, a mod is nothing more than a "glorified editor"; their reward is almost nothing (rollback), it's just like a medal of honor saying, "You're a helpful contributor, have a mention on the staff page!", pretty much. Plus, after these many promotions, the graduation of a moderator to a sysop after this is going to be, well, very unlikely and would require several administrators to have to drop off of the face of the wiki. You're essentially going to be selecting very long-term mods.}} | | As for the mods who replace them, '''''remember this''''': a mod should be an example of the "ideal editor", or as close to one as they can get.

And considering that the bulk of his contributions have involved images, that would put him in a good position to help with the issues with images and articles for deletion Kryten mentioned further up on the forum. Plus, he doesn't usually undo edits, so giving him just rollback would barely change anything. If we make an exception for anybody, it should be him.}} | | {{LapisScarab|time=01:15, July 31, 2010 (UTC)|inverse=Indeed, Shard's done spectacular job and put in a tremendous amount of effort.

I do not wish to make the exception of users becoming mods before becoming sysops for any user but ShardofTruth. I personally that any other user should go through the usual process of moderators.}} |
