Yo. Le Zach here. One little thing I noticed about the administration system. You can apply for admin and rollback, but you have to be nominated for chat mod? In all honesty, I think no one should be allowed to ask if they can become an administrator, or a lot of people could apply for it. Being an admin is a very hard job, and a lot of people would push themselves to meet the requirements just to do it and then neglect their duties. I think future admins should be nominated by other admins, rollbacks, or 'crats. As for chat mod, I feel that anyone who's on chat enough and is also level-headed and good at decision making should be allowed to nominate themselves for the position. What I mean is, what are the chances of one of our high-people go on chat frequently (exceptions being Hazel and Leaf, who are admin who go on chat a lot) and decide who's fit and not fit for the job. Another problem is that the people I see on chat most of the time include the following: You get my point. Also, the admins live in one place and the users live in another place. For Pete's sake, I'm sleeping in New York when Ers is eating lunch in Ireland. Yes, the common time points overlap at certain times, but the rest of the day the chances of people going head-to-head in the chat and being able to build a decent psychological profile of them is low.

So, the only thing I'm trying to say to all you people is that people should not be allowed to nominate themselves for admin, but should be for chat mod.

What do you all say?
