So.

After a seemingly eternal inactive slumber, I have returned to see that, yet again, the chat has been closed down. But, I'm not here to ask why. I've already discussed that with another Moderator.

Here is what I'm asking:

Should there be some sort of campaign to get regular/trusted users to apply for Moderator/Administrator? Because working solely on the editing system does not work. How many edits you have should not be a factor for whether you are suited to be a part of the staff.

Sure, it may show your dedication, but there are other ways to show your dedication, such as:

Being a reinforcer for Chat.

Showing that you can be trusted to handle issues on your own.

Showing that you can handle pressure.

Displaying an aura of matureness and sense.

These few things can show that you may be ready to be a part of the staff. Sure, maybe some rigorous test or something would be involved, but in the end, it would be easier than stacking up edits.
