User blog:CustardBird/The Cheeky Custard - Election Week!

Hello, hello, hello! Today, I present to you a very special edition of The (newly re-named, for obvious reasons) Cheeky Custard!



Now, as I'm sure most of you know, whereas Club Penguin itself may be grinding to a halt, here on the Wiki, things are only just getting started, as we'll be covering Club Penguin Island and, relevant to this blog, promoting a new Chat Moderator!

Today, I'll be interviewing the two front-running candidates of the Chat Moderator vote, Seth4564TI and -TwinkieReborn-.

But before we get to that, this is a community vote, so what better way to start things off than an interview with our very own CPW Community Admin?

Interview with CPW Community Admin
Custard: How do you feel about the idea of a "chat mod vote"?

CPW Community Admin: I feel like it is a great idea to allow the community to decide for once on who should become a Chat Moderator.



Custard: As we stand right now, our Wiki has 4 Chat Moderators, what do you feel a new Chat Mod could bring to the table?

CPW Community Admin: More moderation at peak times, when the chat is busy. Some of the Chat Moderators are busy at the moment with other stuff.

Custard: Yeah, I feel like both Seth and Twinkie are on at times when a lot of us aren't, often late night [GMT].

CPW Community Admin: Yup.

Custard: Our latest Chat Moderator candidates have adopted the idea of "campaign blogs", how do you feel about these? Do you feel these are the way to go with all future votes moving forward?

CPW Community Admin: Hmm, yes and no, it depends really. In someway, yes, as more people will vote, but in someway, no, because it's kinda asking for votes.

Custard: Thanks! That's all!

And now, on to our front-runners!

Interview with Seth4564TI
Custard: So, obviously, you've decided to run for Chat Moderator rights. What "inspired" you to go for this?

Seth4564TI: It's been my dream to become a Chat Moderator ever since I joined [the Wiki] back in Feb. 2012, and I always wanted to help others in more ways. Recently I suggested the idea to do a Chat Mod vote because we needed an ACTIVE Chat Mod, there are times when there could be NO staff on AT ALL, what if someone spams? Nothing can be done to them until a staff member reads the logs or joins with the spammer's messages still visible. So, I wanna be there to help the chat in general. Everyone there is my friend, and I wanna help them in more ways; that is what inspired me.

Custard: Now, recently you've shown some disagreement with some occurrences on the Wiki [prior to the vote starting], such as some of the admin decisions, did this lend in any way towards your decision to run for Chat Mod, and what do you feel you could do about it?



Seth4564TI: [EDITOR'S NOTE: I forgot to take a picture of Seth's reply to this one, I will be adding his reply at the earliest possible time.]

Custard: What brand new achievement do you feel you could bring to the Wiki that goes BEYOND the current moderation norms? [This is a tough one.]

Seth4564TI: I actually have 2 goals. 1: If I get Chat Mod rights, my goal is to be AS ACTIVE as I possibly can. That is my main goal. I will be sure to watch the chat more often than I do as a normal user (I usually have the chat in a different tab while looking away), but I will try my best to look at it whenever I can. Unfortunately, if you recall before August 2016, I used to be on at around 5:00 PM - 4:00 AM, but now since school has began, I can only be active at around 5:00 PM - 12:00 AM. I wish I could be on longer, but trust me - I am dedicated to the time I have available.

My 2nd goal is to make the Wiki a friendlier environment, for example; barely any more fights. I don't like fights in general, I prefer everyone being friends. Think of it this way, someone new joins, and they see us fighting. Do you think they'd want to stay? No, they'd think "this is a rotten and immature place, I don't wanna be friends with them". Instead, how about we ALL be friends, if you hate someone here, please give second thoughts on them and maybe apologize to them, maybe they can be your friend. THAT'S what our community is about; friendship.

Custard: Thanks! That's all!

Interview with -TwinkieReborn-
Custard: So, obviously, you've decided to run for Chat Moderator rights, what "inspired" you to go for this?

-TwinkieReborn-: Hmm. Well, of course Chris nominated me, I'm very thankful for him doing that. I think what made me want to start the campaign is that it'd be great to be back in the position again, I want to help users again, quickly end any fights or flood parties. Stuff like this.



Custard: Now, recently you've shown some disagreement with some occurrences on the Wiki [prior to the vote starting], such as some of the admin decisions, did this lend in any way towards your decision to run for Chat Mod, and what do you feel you could do about it?

-TwinkieReborn-: [EDITOR'S NOTE: Excised until Seth's reply to this same question can be added.]

Custard: What new achievement do you feel you could bring to the Wiki that goes beyond the current moderation norms? [This is a tough one.]

-TwinkieReborn-: Hmm. This definitely is a tough one. I'd have to say I want to bring the community back together to just make any new user say "Hey, this would be a great place to stay for a while. I like it here". Of course I couldn't do it alone, I couldn't do it in an hour, it'd take time and effort, but I think it can happen.

Custard: Thanks! That's all!
