Hello wikians! I am here to announce our next elections: Discussions Mod and Admin elections!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with elections, and as such do not know what they are: Elections are this wiki's system of electing/promoting new staff. This system was created by Darthwikia25, an admin, as the previous system was unable to promote democratic ideals. This system ensures that everyone has a say in the community to elect a new staff member. To understand how these elections work, please look at this page.

In a week, we will be having our discussion mod elections! Discussion Moderators regulate the forums, comments, and message walls (walls that need attention). They are able to edit, delete, and close threads/comments to ensure a safe wiki environment. They are also tasked with closing threads that exceed the comment limit in the forums, especially game threads. This is a very important job due to the wiki having an increase in comment activity lately. Our current Discussion Moderators are 707Mithrandir and Ultramarine, who have been doing a fine job, but need an extra set of hands due to the spike in activity, as mentioned above, which is exactly why these elections are being held.

Admin elections could take place at the end of October. This approximate date is subject to change, however. Information on the position of administrators will be released at the beginning of October.

(As a note, staff quarantine periods apply, both before and after these elections. If you do not know what quarantine periods are, please read this thread.)

The applications thread, if you are interested in becoming a Discussion Mod, will be posted in a week from today.

Thank you for reading!
