Alright, this is a bit of a long post so bear with me because I'm giving nominations to three people, because I feel it's kinda necessary.

First off, ego aside, I nominate myself for this position of Chat Moderator, and I have reasons for doing so, while I appreciate 100% the nominations for my placement above, there are a few key factors to note.

I was a former Chat Moderator on this site, back in 2013 to be exact, and stayed in that position until I basically went AWOL for a year prior to my return last September. I know fully well what it means to be a chat moderator on this site and the expectations required to be in such a position. And while I do admit that I do have my arrogant and egotistical side, and wholly admit to being a dick in chat, I've displayed that I can be mature in heated situations, and in prior times, have been able to read the mood in chat.

Now on the offchance that someone goes and checks my ban log, there's full and validated reasoning for every single one of that, not a single point which reduces my worth as a chat moderator.

The ban by SelenaZephyr, I request you note that was my first ban and that it was for a week. "How did you screw up so bad that you got banned for a week Leaf?" I didn't. She got tired of listening to me call her out on power abuse and such and without kicking me prior, so I don't need to say how hypocritical and uncalled for it was. The second ban was for dropping minor spoilers during an episode while I had Roman as my avi. The spoiler being "I should probably put flowers around my avi now". Not the smartest move I've made, but nothing severe as to display a characteristic that would define me being unfit for the job.

So, in the end, with my past history as a Chat Mod, I feel I would be an appropriate candidate for the position.

I, as a second nomination, nominate BRTE500, otherwise known as Bret, for the position of Chat Moderator.

The reason for this, is simple. He's a former chat moderator, and kept the position at the exact same as myself, and has proven to be vigilant within chat, never to be the instigator of arguments, and his chat ban history of never having been banned ought to speak for himself. I don't even think he's been kicked. Bret's ability to read the mood of chat as well as his personal values and his demeanor of going with the flow, but stepping in when necessary, are irreplacable traits which a chat mod ought to have. Given his past history, his attitude and how he is as a person, as well as his dedication to this wikia, I fully support BRTE500 for the position of Chat Moderator.

As the third and final nomination from this here Leaf, is none other than BerserkerNox.

Basic information, has been on the wikia forever, hasn't ever taken a leave of absence and has never gone missing for more than maybe 24 hours on chat. Other than this, Nox has been shown to be an intelligent individual who doesn't easily succumb to bait as well as oftentimes as a user being the deffuser of an argument. When things get heated, Nox has displayed time and time again that he can calmly take a step back, evaluate the situation accurately, and then make proper judgements that encompass what Chat Mods ought to do. It should be no surprise to anyone that he's never been never banned, and as far as my knowledge goes, never even kicked. Thus, he is my third and final nomination for the position of chat mod.

Thank you for reading and have a good day.
