Introduction to the Elections
Right, we have no night moderators anymore, I have demoted the last two (aside from the ones who are admins and not moderators), so, we're having an Election for 1-2 more Moderators, first of all, here's the rules, these are mandatory.

Election Rules

 * Dear Chill Users,
 * Today I stand before you as a demoted moderator. Way back when, when I was first promoted, my initial goal was to make chat better for everyone. However, I quickly lost sight of that goal and became corrupt. Yes, I admit it. I was a corrupt moderator. I swore too much, kicked and banned too much, and even went so low as to start drama and insult other moderators and admins, sometimes even just regular users. Soon several people reported my corruption and before I knew it my moderator status was gone!
 * At first I was angry, but then I realized how much I had wronged and cheated you all. I, as a moderator, cheated each and everyone of you out of a better version of me. A version of me that couldn't come out for some reason. To everyone who reported me I say: You were right, and I hold nothing against you.
 * Now here I sit, typing this right now, attempting a bid for re-election. Of course I understand why some of you would be hesitant to vote for me, as I just admitted I was corrupt when I was a mod! However, with my apology comes several promises and pledges that I make to not just the admins and moderators, but especially to all of you, who I so wronged and cheated out of a better moderator I could have been. If I am re-elected as your moderator...
 * 1. I promise to no longer berate, harass or start drama with anyone else as a moderator. No, not even jokes at other people's expense. I realize now that the things I used to do that were so unnecessary and unneeded not only harmed my fellow users, but also the quality of the way I did my job and my judgement. However, if you gave me another chance, I swear to never do any of these things again.
 * 2. I promise to never again let my hatred for someone get in the way of my judgement. Yes I know I did this in the past. But just like I never let my friendship with someone get in the way of needed consequences, I will no longer let my detestation with other users get in the way of how I punish them, or change the severity of the consequences they earn.
 * 3. I promise to no longer allow personable events to cloud my judgement. When bad things happen, which is inevitable, we all take it differently, react differently, and we make a choice as to whether or not we will let it cloud and change out judgement. I made some terrible choices as a moderator, and one of them was letting personal catastrophes get in the way of my work. If re-elected, I shall never let that happen again.
 * 4. I promise, if re-elected, to THINK before I ACT.I realize this is a fundamental rule in life, and am deeply ashamed for forgetting it. See, as a moderator, I would usually kick/ban right then, and think about what I did later. However, if you gave me a second chance to be a moderator again, I would start to think about what I was doing, before I did it, and most of all, ASK QUESTIONS ("Was she invited?" "Does he have enough edits?" Am I clicking on the right person?").
 * 5. If re-elected, I promise to always listen to what the users of Chill have to say. If you have a problem with the way I'm doing my job, come to me. I will do my best to work on it. **********************************************************************************************
 * With my apology and promises I intend to keep aside, allow me to explain why I would make a good moderator and some things I would do if elected. As a moderator, and a regular user, I was never afraid to speak my mind and do what was best for chat. I always, to the best of my ability, took charge and tried to keep chat as orderly as possible. I was definitely one of the most effective and straight-forward moderators. However I made plenty of mistakes along the way that caused my corruption call.
 * If re-elected I will continue to be a straight-forward and effective mod, but also a moderator that listens to and cares about the users of Chill's opinions and ideas. If you were to elect me, you could always come to me when you had an idea or an opinion that you thought needed to be heard like I said, I care, so I will to the best of my ability make your opinion or idea heard. I will also lose that bad side of me (bossy, rude, curses too much, clouded judgement). Moreover, as I said, I will start to listen when someone has a problem with me instead of shutting them out.
 * At the same time I would listen to users' ideas, I would also have ideas of my own that I would try to implant into Chill to make Chill the best wiki it can be. I don't want to give you all of my ideas, they could get stoked, but I will give you two examples of my ideas.
 * 1. Build a chat where moderators and admins would go to discuss issues on chat, moreover the wiki, and current events, and how to fix these issues. This would also be a place where we could exchange ideas for chat (this is where I would make the opinions of the users heard) that we or other people have. Not only would this make chat and the wiki overall a more stable place but it would also help the moderators and admins to come together and co-ordinate and come together to help chat more. Face it, we can be a pretty messy and divided wiki when issues come upon us. The goal of these meetings would not only be to tackle issues of the wiki and exchange ideas, but also help the staff of Chill to be more cooperative with one another to help the wiki be the best it can be.
 * 2. Modify the Inviting New Users Rule. (I can hear the protesting now.) I personally believe the way we have the Invite New Users rule right now is a bit too messy. It allows regular users to invite anyone they want as long as they get permission. See, the problem with this is the moderator has no idea who this person could be and what their behavior could be like. That's why I want to make it so, when a regular user wants to invite someone, they ask the moderator or admin to run a background check on their friend so the moderator/admin sees they're okay. If said mod/admin is able to find anything bad about the user, such as excessive bans for spamming on several other wikis or breaking the age requirement of 13 on Wikia, then the person isn't allowed here until they clean up their act.
 * However, if the Chill staff member finds nothing, then the regular user's friend can join Chill? And how to run a background check? You simply go to Google.com, and search User:*insert username here*.
 * For example. User: MooMooCows123. The moderator finds MooMooCows123 has been banned on several wikis for posting pornographic images and has a track record for doing so. MooMooCows123 isn't allowed here until they can show they can act more mature and not post pornographic images. I believe this is a much smoother way to run things. Plus, a Wikia background check only takes like 30 seconds.
 * PLEASE NOTE: You enter the User: MooMooCows123 on Google, not Wikia. You will be able to find all the wikis they've been on and what theyve done in a more orderly fashion if you check Google instead of Wikia.
 * To conclude this letter, I ask you, the users of Chill, to give me another chance once more and allow me to serve you again as a moderator. I promise you I will do my best to be the best moderator I can possibly be, if you let me prove myself. Sincerely Yours, Holly

Flametfh
Pros:  Tries to be fair, is friendly and treats everyone the same, also tries to stop things before they happen and likes to have everyone involved in things.

Cons: T ends to overreact, often accidentally offends people and may act a bit nastily and he tends to not speak up that much.

Speech: " You may want me to be a mod for the following reasons; I am active in the chill community, going on the chat everyday for 365 days and also contributing pages and characters and being good friends with a lot of the people here, I take my roles seriously and also I'll to try to make everything fair, I may jump to conclusions and overreact and occasionally not give my point or accidentally offend, but hopefully you're willing to put up with that, If you want to vote for me."

Extra notes: Is rather selfless, which can be good and bad.

Apallo The Hedgehog
Pros:  Will make logs for night chats, tries hard to uphold all of the rules, will try not to retaliate against users, punish all those who show bad behavior, he is also available to talk to if you want to talk about personal problems with someone.

Cons:  May be tired due to house work/job, he m ight try to end a topic too quickly, c annot read the chat correctly at times  and stress can determine his attitude.

Speech:  So I lost my mod because of me retaliating to insults said about my personal body parts. Hooraw..... but anyway. If you are reading this and I know most of you are just skimming though to pick someone you think is better suited as mod/admin. I'll leave this in brief. As a Mod, I can promise to try and keep the Chill Sonic Fanon chat peaceful as I can. And I can assure you that I wont let any insult or rule be thrown or broken as long as I have that golden star beside my name. I may not be the brightest like Holly, or that much fun like Blu. Or really that into things like the rest of you all, but think back to all the good I did and how good of a person I can be. And I will continue to try and be that good person that I know and can be.
