Congrats to everyone! Personally the first time that I see a Promotions round who is unanimous and for the crop we had, this is well-deserved and I'm still super glad to work with you.

I want to see Gee0765 take more initiative and lead a project of his own. I let stormbreath slide in that regard because giving him access to locked pages makes his job on Tech Team, and therefore everyone else's lives, far easier.

Each user voted for have gone above and beyond their current roles, have expressed to me their ideas of what they want to do with the roles they are moving to, and I am excited to witness them do such in the future.

I don't have a lot of time to type my whole analysis up this time, sorry. People who are curious can reach out to me and I'll issue my full thoughts there.

Normally I'd want to see Bread and Jackal for a bit longer as JS, see if they branch out more in their fairly narrow work, before voting Yes confidently, but the initiative and forethought that they have taken in their work on MAST has already convinced me to vote for them this promotion cycle.

The vote for Bleep is obvious. She simply requires moderator access for the work she is already doing all the time.
But I'll also take this opportunity to say that Bleep has been a really good co-captain of MAST and great wiki staff overall. Constantly putting in large amounts of good work personally and also able to delegate competently. She does a lot to make it easier for other users to achieve their goals in the community, whether those goals are part of staff work or just some neat personal projects people have to make this community experience richer.

Gee: I was on the fence and prepared to vote no until I found #raisareviewteam in your recent edits, and thereafter your implied position of responsibility.

I have no qualms about any of the other candidates.

Malyce is an individual who I've had the pleasure of interacting on a daily basis, as much of their staff work overlaps with mine, and their work is exemplary. I am grateful to have the honor of voting yes in their favor.

Bread and JackalRelated are individuals that I have less experience with; however, nothing about them stands out as particularly concerning about them. The interview answers, likewise, are satisfactory enough for me enough to vote yes in their favor.

I do not interact with the two abstentions sufficiently to have an informed opinion, and they're in no danger of not getting this promotion on my account, so I am taking what I feel to be the correct course of action.

Malyce has the potential to go as far as they wish to go, I think.

My comments on three of the four candidates are already listed on the first post, so a few minutes for Gee. They've been a pleasure to work with, always finding useful things to do, willing to give their opinion on matters, and positions tend to be well-reasoned. The combination of being a diligent worker and not having an ego or getting too high or low on anything is an awesome combination and is an important indicator of the ability to flourish at moderator. Well earned.

I have significant experience with Bread and Malyce and they are both easy and very big yes votes. I have less experience with Jackal but what I have seen of them, and their conduct by the opinion of others I trust, leads me to believe that promotion is fitting.
Yes across the board for JS->OS votes from me.

I see less of Deadly Bread and JackalRelated simply because our staff work doesn't really cross paths too much, but their work and interview speak for themselves. MalyceGraves is one of the most active and reliable users I've interacted with on any level of staff, In my opinion, they're well beyond ready and deserving of a promotion.

Commentary: I've not really got that much to say about these three. Any work with collab logs takes insane patience and work ethic, and anyone who can reliably work with them likely deserves to be promoted. Malyce is absolutely incredible, and has been a very effective member of junior staff. Additionally, all three interviews were strong.

Both Bread and Malyce have very evident records indicating they're willing to put in the time and effort to be good members of staff here and they're both an easy yes from me, particularly Malyce.

I'm abstaining on Jackal purely because I'm not familiar enough with the work he's doing to be able to judge whether he's a good candidate. Judging from the testimony present in this thread, it would seem he is; but his work ethic doesn't seem to be reflected in a concrete way on site, which is something I'd expect from a M*A*S*T staffer.

I've been fortunate to see Bread's and Jackal's work in MAST first-hand, and appreciate their work ethic and ability to contribute to team discussions, including those outside of their sections.

Malyce is level-headed and expresses good judgement. They perform a lot of work effectively and would serve the site well as Operational Staff, though I share Soulless' concern about spreading too thin.

All excellent people. Bread and Jackal especially I've seen first-hand their immense dedication and willingness to go above and beyond in the MAST collab logs team, and it's been personally both helpful and inspiring.

No objections here either - every single one of them should have been mod a long time ago.

This was a really good crop of candidates.

All of the JS up for promotion are honest to god phenomenal. I really don't have anything other to say about them that wouldn't be echoing their captains. Strong support for all.

Summer Promotions June 2020

Promotions! In June!

These are votes of confidence. If you are unfamiliar or on the fence about someone, vote NO. Only vote yes if the candidate has your confidence and genuinely feels ready for promotion in your mind.

Please post even if you are abstaining from voting.

As a reminder, we established a new bit of policy: Staff may abstain from voting if it is in regards to a Junior Staff member moving to Operational Staff only. If more than one third of staff abstain on a user, and/or less than 60 per cent of voters say yes, this is treated as a no. I will be rounding down.

Staff Interviews.

Staff member Taylor_Itkin does not match any existing user name organized interviews of our promo candidates prior to this thread being put up. I implore all staff to read these. The interviews can be found in StaffChat’s topic.

This promotion vote will end in:


Operational Staff Voting:

This is an open vote for all staff members.

Below is a group of suggestions regarding JUNIOR STAFF who Team Captains have nominated to be voted upwards to OPERATIONAL STAFF. Please read the commentary provided in order to help your judgement regarding these staff. If you feel they have displayed readiness, vote yes. If they are not ready, vote no; please explain your reasoning.


Team Name: Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Tasks Team (M*A*S*T)
Team Captain: DrBleepDrBleep RogetRoget
Junior Staff Member Deadly BreadDeadly Bread
Commentary: Bread has been a phenomenal contributor to MAST's early efforts, and a generally phenomenal Junior staffer all around. They are on call for whenever something needs to be done, and jump headlong into handling MAST issues. They volunteered for and contributed to the pruning of no less than two major logs, and went out of their way to create guidelines for contributing/pruning said logs in the future. I do believe Bread has a serious future in proposing policy with the amount of work they put in as staff. Examples of Bread's frankly impressive body of work can be found Here , here and here. It should also be noted that Bread has been a major contributor in MAST Tagging efforts as can be seen in the history of our tracking page here.
Optional Commentary: It's kind of hard to see any weaknesses for Bread other than their relatively young age, but that's not really been so much of an issue for other staffers. I do worry that they may burn themselves out given the astonishing amount of work they do at any one time, but beyond that, no major weaknesses or concerns.**
Team Name: Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Tasks Team (M*A*S*T)
Team Captain: DrBleepDrBleep RogetRoget
Junior Staff Member Deadly BreadDeadly Bread
Commentary: Bread has been an invaluable member of MAST, he helped to create the list of all the collaborative pages and did the legwork of pruning the SCP-261 log. He's been active in other aspects of the team and I feel he would make for a fully-rounded and productive member of staff

Team Name: Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Tasks Team (M*A*S*T)
Team Captain: DrBleepDrBleep RogetRoget
Junior Staff Member JackalRelatedJackalRelated
Commentary: Jackal is another phenominal junior staffer that has been instrumental in getting MAST off the ground. We wouldn't be carrying out our preliminary pruning efforts through Erasmus without Jackal's assembly of a sandbox with a list of every collab log, hub, guide, and other collaborative works into one gigantic list. Recent site/staff drama, and University have really hampered Jackal's productive efforts, though he has continued to contribute to tagging efforts (you can click the same list I linked for Bread above). I think Jackal is ready to move to the next level of staff.
Optional Commentary: The only major concern I have for Jackal is the split between real life and here. University is a demanding environment, and as always, I'm concerned about folks burning out on staff work.**
Team Name: Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Tasks Team (M*A*S*T)
Team Captain: DrBleepDrBleep RogetRoget
Junior Staff Member JackalRelatedJackalRelated
Commentary: Jackal has been highly productive in the same way that Bread has, both in making the collaborative log page which has been an invaluable resource for everyone on the team and taking an active part in team discussions. When given a task, Jackal will do it to the fullest of his ability and do so well.
(Optional) Areas of Improvement: Jackal can be overly sensitive to what other people think of him and this may lead him to second-guess himself or to become upset at perceived slights. I don't think this is a major issue for him otherwise I wouldn't be recommending him, but a little more self-confidence would go along way towards his development as a staff member.

Team Name: Community Outreach
Team Captain: A Random DayA Random Day and ProcyonLotorProcyonLotor
Junior Staff Member MalyceGravesMalyceGraves
Commentary: Here is a complete accounting of Malyce's staffwork. Their direct subcaptain, taylor_itkin does not match any existing user name, says the following: "MalyceGraves is an incredibly hard worker and a reliable staffer. They regularly volunteer for work before it is even announced volunteers are needed, and are always first to volunteer when it is announced. Their work is consistently high quality and done in a timely manner. Quite frankly, MalyceGraves is everything we look for in a staffer." I agree in full and would additionally like to draw attention to their maturity and level-headedness which they have consistently demonstrated as chatstaff, and which I believe will be an equal asset to site staff.
Team Name: Site Crit
Team Captain: SoullessSingularitySoullessSingularity
Junior Staff Member MalyceGravesMalyceGraves
Commentary: The Malyce, the myth, the legend. Most staff know them already and their introduction is hardly necessary. They do a lot of miscellaneous staff work around the site. Everything from staffposting forum posts that aren't in the right format to rapid critique on coldposts, and a lot of IRC crit. They've also done a fair amount of research for stuff on 05. Research for 05 example, an example of critique , and their overly-complex staff box. How they manage to do all of this and still write as often as they do looks exhausting.
(Optional) Areas of Improvement They may be taking on more than they have time for, spreading themselves a bit too thin. They are quite active on chat staff, and that seems to have consumed a fair amount of the time they have available. They can be fairly harsh at times, and their style of strict critique may be off-putting to some new users. Their rather strict approach to dealing with things might also lead them to appear unapproachable.

To Moderator:

This is a closed vote, only open to Moderators and Administrators.

Below is a suggestion regarding an OPERATIONAL STAFF MEMBER whose Captain has nominated to be voted upwards to MODERATOR. Please read the commentary provided by Team Captain in order to help your judgement regarding these staff. If you feel they have displayed readiness, vote yes. If they are not ready, vote no; please explain your reasoning.



Team Name: Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Tasks Team (M*A*S*T)
Team Captain: DrBleepDrBleep RogetRoget
Operational Staff Member aismallardaismallard
Contributions: Christ you're really going to make me list all these aren't you? Aismallard is a fucking machine. There's a lot of stuff that's purely tech related that they've been involved in, but they're so inherently tied to MAST as well that I would be Loathe not to mention them. Ais manned our Tagging subteam, and drove it along like a well oiled car. There are rarely surviving articles these days that aren't immediately tagged because of him. He created no less than four separate tagging guides for MAST's use visible here, here, here, and here. Ais has made so many integral suggestions and small contributions individually to MAST projects that rival is major contributions I can't beging to cover them all. I firmly believe AIS deserves moderator, and strongly support a vote for him.
Optional Commentary: Have you seen his tech contributions? If you haven't, I encourage you to look at this page. I have no doubt that Ais will make a great moderator.
Team Name: Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Tasks Team (M*A*S*T)
Team Captain: DrBleepDrBleep RogetRoget
Operational Staff Member aismallardaismallard
Contributions: Mallard has taken it upon themselves to be the central node of the MAST tagging effort and has taken to a leadership role like a duck to water. He directs his sub-team with the practiced skill of an old-hat moderator and has the capacity to do so much more in the future whenever we'll need to call upon him.
Optional Commentary: In addition to the practical skill that Mallard brings to the table, I've met few people in my life who have better judgement and temperaments than he. Individuals with the capacity for self-control and introspection like he possesses are few and far between, and I think that in adding him to moderation we would not only be getting a staffer who can get the job done, but one who would be able to fully contribute to high-level discussions in a thoughtful and additive way.
Team Name: Technical
Team Captain: DrMagnusDrMagnus (Co-Captain w/pxdnbluesoulpxdnbluesoul)
Operational Staff Member aismallardaismallard
Commentary: Aismallard has been a more than competent OS, and undertakes work that requires locking and unlocking pages. They're level-headed, take direction well, and show initiative alongside stormbreath to get projects done with other staff members.
Team Name: Technical
Team Captain: DrMagnusDrMagnus pxdnbluesoulpxdnbluesoul
Junior Staff Member aismallardaismallard
Commentary: aismallard has been one of the best forces for good that Tech has had the good fortune to cross paths with. Diligent, friendly, and highly professional and knowledgeable, he has taken on work at all skill levels and succeeded. I feel highly confident in his judgment which becomes more of a factor in this threshold to moderator, and think it will allow him to do even more valuable work.

Team Name: Technical
Team Captain: DrMagnusDrMagnus (Co-Captain w/pxdnbluesoulpxdnbluesoul)
Operational Staff Member DrBleepDrBleep
Commentary: Bleep is obviously one of the most valuable staff we currently have. She heads up the MAST team which alone should warrant promotion to Moderator, but her organization skills, and community management skills are invaluable in a staff member on our team.
Team Name: Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Tasks Team (M*A*S*T)
Team Captain: DrBleepDrBleep RogetRoget
Operational Staff Member DrBleepDrBleep
Contributions: Captain of MAST, Bleep has long been deserving of more recognition than she currently gets. The extensive experience she has in managing online communities shows through as the natural authority she exudes gives others a reason to follow her, if they weren't already sold on her excellent work ethic and capacity for thoughtful and reasoned decision-making.
Optional Commentary: Bleep has only remained on Operational Staff by her own choice, and her humility is an admirable quality which I feel further enhances what she would bring to the table as a Moderator.
Team Name: Technical
Team Captain: DrMagnusDrMagnus pxdnbluesoulpxdnbluesoul
Operational Staff Member DrBleepDrBleep
Contributions: Bleep is always enthusiastic to pick up work for Tech and continue improving herself in this arena. Proactive and willing to seek out new tasks and projects that will benefit the wiki, Bleep is also pivotal to the MAST work and currently performs at the level that an experienced Moderator would.

Team Name: Site Crit
Team Captain: SoullessSingularitySoullessSingularity
Operational Staff Member gee0765gee0765
Contributions to the Wiki and teams: Gee0765 has been a consistently active, consistently available person on the wiki. He has had insightful things to say and have participated in SSSC and 05 regarding a variety of staff functions. He also attends our regular meetings, is chatstaff in site19, and holds responsibility there well.

Team Name: Technical
Team Captain: DrMagnusDrMagnus (Co-Captain w/pxdnbluesoulpxdnbluesoul)
Operational Staff Member stormbreathstormbreath
Contributions: Honestly, along with Aismallard, stormbreath has been a one-two punch of handling tag requests, making components, and suggesting changes to streamline the wiki, as well as remove extraneous bits of junk from articles. Similarly to Aismallard, they tend to work with pages that require unlocking, and show a good sense of judgement.
Team Name: Technical
Team Captain: DrMagnusDrMagnus pxdnbluesoulpxdnbluesoul
Operational Staff Member stormbreathstormbreath
Commentary: A user that excels in places that we can find some of the greatest utility in tech, stormbreath already has a good handle on the organizational-level stuff required at this next level. I think they are ready to make this move and will do better with a larger stage. We're lucky to have them and I'd be happy to see them move up.

Vote YES or NO. Someone who you are ambivalent to should not receive your vote of confidence for staff. If you don't know who someone is, then I invite you to educate yourself and get to know their work before voting.
