Jordan -> already reliable. good person. can diffuse. excuses himself from chat if gets worked up.

608-> banned more than he's been in chat. Aggressive history. Is exiled,  on ban, and been banned on other wikis  threatens vengeance while on ban. Spams. Needs a trial period? dafaq? we shouldn't need trial periods for mods the fact he's being voted on should mean that he's competent not that we have to see if he's competent.

the staff reflects our wiki. how do you want to be portrayed? I believe this is in part directed to me (mainly the lines which read, "Needs a trial period?  dafaq?  we shouldn't need trial periods for mods the fact he's being voted on should mean that he's competent not that we have to see if he's competent.") so I will reply to the best of my ability to this section.

Yes, there should be no trial period needed for mods, and the fact that he has been selected for nomination effectively states that he should be qualified; however, the key word in your sentence is "should". He has been selected, but he is not necessarily qualified.

He has a history of being aggressive, petitioning to be unbanned while promising vengeance, spamming of behaviours, and other miscellaneous actions here and there. The suggestion for a relatively long trial period is somewhat of a compromise for both sides, having 608 be relatively monitored while still leaving him on the ballot. Hopefully this will please both sides more than if he was either passed or rejected completely.

Then again, this is only if he's passed by the community. If he is voted out at this stage, then he should not become a mod.
