Moderator Nominations: 6 Month Term beginning 9/1/21

Per the new rules for establishing mods of this forum, anyone may post in this thread volunteering to serve a 6 month term as mod beginning roughly on 9/1/21 and ending on 3/1/22. Any volunteer post which receives at least 10 likes in this thread will be considered an official nomination that will move forward to a full forum vote. This thread will remain open for 3 days.

Full rules listed below.

Nominations and Elections. Two weeks prior to each Rotation Date, a nomination thread will be created in the About Unstuck forum requesting volunteers to serve as a moderator. Anyone who volunteers in the thread and receives at least 10 likes to their post will be nominated. After the nomination thread has been open for 3 days, the nomination thread will be closed, and another thread will be posted in About Unstuck with an individual poll for each nominee, which will will remain open for 3 days. Any nominee who receives at least two-thirds approval will be added to the mod team immediately. This means they should be in place for roughly 1 week prior to the Rotation Date, and a moderator’s term will last approximately 6 months and 1 week. For the sake of clarity, if a moderator’s six-month term ends on a Rotation Date of July 1, then they would be eligible for nomination in the mod approval process that leads up to the next Rotation Date (September 1). This rule replaces and makes all prior rules regarding mod terms null and void.

I will heart anyone who volunteers.

@marty is officially nominated. Any other posters interested in volunteering?

Do we need more right now? We have 3 and marty will make 4 for the next 6 month period, correct? Or are we trying to get people lined up ahead of time? (Forgot about Chads too. When does he rotate?)

Technically, we don’t need anyone, but it is open to anyone who wants to volunteer. If no one else is approved for the current term, we will still have 4 mods.

These are the mods whose terms run beyond 9/1/21:

@PocketChads: Appointed 3/7/2021. End of term 11/1/2021. Next eligible re-election 1/1/2022.

@Nononocantsleep: Appointed 7/18/2021. End of term 3/1/2022. Next eligible re-election 5/1/2022.

@otatop: Appointed 7/18/2021. End of term 3/1/2022. Next eligible re-election 5/1/2022.

@Rugby: Appointed 7/18/2021. End of term 3/1/2022. Next eligible re-election 5/1/2022.
