The Eighth Wonder of the ToO! *VOTING DEADLINE EXTENDED*

Hello everyone!

We realize we don't know everyone as well as we would like, our 'young board age' and all ;)

Although we believe we have made a good selection of both board members and chatters, we are definitely more familiar with the chatters. In light of that, we want to announce a special event:

The Eighth Wonder of the ToO!

We will be running an election for an eighth and final global moderator position, so anyone we missed can be still given a chance at it. (Don't worry, 11th, you are still wonderful :))

For purposes of this election, we request that anyone who wishes to vote, PMs either Limerick or God’s Girl:
A) Who you think would make a fantastic mod (up to two votes allowed, but if you only place one vote it will count double)
B) Why - a short anecdote would be nice!
C) Whether you are comfortable with the anecdote being shared, anonymously or otherwise

After a week from today (*EDITED DATE*January 16th, at 11:59pm EST), from our collected votes, we will make a tally, and whomever gets the most votes will be awarded the final spot.

If you are interested in the position, you may campaign in this thread, but please note that pms to users to ask them to vote for you is considered spam, like any other ToO ‘election’.
Edit: One point of clarification, it is not necessary that the person/people you nominate be running official campaigning posts. If someone not campaigning wins the vote, they will, of course, be asked whether they want the position. We intend to allow anyone who would be a great mod, particularly, and perhaps, especially if they would never actually claim the position left to their own devices.

EDIT 2: Due to some confusion, the voting deadline has been extended an additional 24 hours. This will be the one and only extension.

As a point of clarification, the votes here are not nominations but actual true votes. They are again to be submitted via PM to either myself or Limerick.

The new deadline is (January 16th, at 11:59pm EST)

No further extensions will occur, get your votes in guys!

I wanted to add that it is not necessary that nominees be limited to ones who have created posts here. If someone not campaigning wins the vote, they will, of course, be asked whether they want the position. We intend to allow anyone who would be a great mod, particularly, and perhaps, especially if they would never actually claim the position left to their own devices.

I have also edited the announcement to reflect this.

Ahh, I miss my time as a mod... Mostly because I can't see the invisible users anymore. :Mrgreen:

Sounds like a fun and interesting way to do things! I suppose I shall throw my hat in the ring simply because I am such... a wonderful... person. *begins to cry*

Mods can't do that.

I'd love to be able to serve again. It's been several terms and I really enjoy being able to keep Whit's End cleaned up.

My mods months were enjoyable and I would like to be one again. I have a question, can we vote for ourselves?

*Does not know who to vote for..* Which is strange because usually I have people in mind I would like to see as mods. :-k

By not counting such votes I'd expect
