 * I support. I think you'll do a good job as a CM, despite the previous minimodding. Regards, HH.
 * I support mainly because I believe that you will be a good CM and will help the wiki grow. You'll also be able to help Lucas as a CM and the administration in general, who have had relatively quite a few members resign since the start of 2019. (Also, I believe that although it's bad, accidental minimmodding is a sign that you'll be a good CM!) Best wishes and good luck from me, Cube (talk).
 * Hey Sandy, Tuba here. To give a response to your RfCM, I think you’re a really nice user who’s active on the wiki and follows all the rules, but I’ve been seeing less of you on chat lately, and that concerns me somewhat in terms of your position. I really want to give you a supporting vote, as you are such a nice user, but your spottiness in activity in chat has kept me from a full support. I’m giving you the benefit in doubt and assuming that this is due to timezones, so I’ll give you an NLS. Good luck on your request! -LckyTUBA
 * Sorry to say, I do not support this request. I think your proposal is relatively insincere, and is filled up with too much with words you think the administration wants to hear. I spend a good amount of time on Discord each day (often till 3 AM my time), and I don't really see you all too much. I understand part of it is due to your timezone, however, because the server often dies by that point, I don't think the services of another CM in that area is necessary, especially given that users like Farm and Chap already have that covered. In addition, I've never seen the reason of lack of lower ranks as necessitating the addition of one more, especially given that enormous amount of bureaucrats and administrators handle most of the situations that arise, even when lower ranks are present and active. In addition, you are quite young and I fear you don't have the strength and conviction in you to moderate such a large server that has a long history of difficult conversations and immense drama. There's more to being a CM (or any rank) than simply watching a chat for a user to mess up - you will have to take a stand on controversial issues, discuss and defend your viewpoints on those issues, and be able to bring new ideas to the table to help contribute to the well-being of HHW. You have to be able to defend not only yourself, but the entire server, against trolls, and given your timezone, you'll often be alone in doing so. Experience helps with this, another area you also fall short on. I think this move was very calculated, and I just don't think you're ready. Especially given some of the issues that have occurred when we've promoted younger users like you to administrative positions (such as Lucas's lack of participation, and Caleb's recent demotion), I fear you may be demoted later, or withheld from advancing in the administrative hierarchy, when this position is designed to help users go forward and move up. I really do like you and your personality, Sandy, but I just cannot see you as a CM at this time. Good luck! Sassmaster15 (talk) 16:52, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * You are quite active on the wiki and on the chat from what I noticed. I am also aware of your experience on Wikipedia as a rollbacker. Ultimately, I am not sure if you will be moderating the chat properly, especially considering the small but notable minimodding problems above. While I cannot fully support this request, you are arguably one of the most mature regular users (AP and below) in a chat that is constantly evolving. Nonetheless, people are still concerned about how you will peform. I'll take a shot in the dark in here and go NLS. Good luck! —［ StrawberryMaster  ］［  Talk |  Contributions  | 16:59, 14 Sep 2019 ］
 * While I haven't been monitoring you as closely as the other admins, I think you would be a good fit for the position. You're mature, kind, and you seem to already want to help. You don't usually cause trouble in chat. This being said i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, and I wish you luck. -  MASTERGARFIELD  17:03, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * I have very little doubt in your ability to moderate chat. My only concern is what I see to be a slight lack of conviction and reason for requesting, as Sass stated before. Other than that; I have no other concerns to state at this point. Good Luck! - Lucarius (talk), 17:11, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * As stated by other members of the administration and the community, you are fit for the position of Chat Moderator. I consider you to be mature and observant of rules, and you are active in chat, therefore I do not see reasons for opposing your promotion. The only reason I am not voting outright support is I do not think I have seen you moderating in action. Other than that, go ahead. And good luck! GiedriusforCat5 AKA Toothless  17:19 14-09-2019
 * Full on support with you, Sandy. Although you've mini-modded in the past, you are capable of being a great Chat Mod in this Wiki, especially from a very active user like you. I've had your trust since we met, and it was also amazing when you won my contest. That trust still lives on to this day and that's what makes me support you. Good luck on the requests!

 * From what I have seen, you are fit to become a Chat Moderator, and I personally believe that you will do well as one. You are a mature, respectful user, and have been with us for quite some time. Although some of the reasons stated above concern me, I don't believe they should be much of a problem after your promotion, and thus I am voting full support. Good luck! {{sup|{ contribs )}}  TropicalStormChapsteck  {{sub|{ talkpage )}} https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/hypotheticalhurricanes/images/9/95/NHCTSSymbol.png 17:32, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * While I see you as a somewhat a fair fit for CM, I have some concerns. Firstly, you aren't really that active enough in chat to successfully moderate chat. Secondly, you stated that you have minimodded not once, not twuce, but three times, and that alone is a lot, and usually users who minimodded a couple of times are elast likely to be promoted. Thirdly, if you were to be a CM, I question your ability to quickly catch any rule violations users may cause in chat before a higher-ranked user spots it. That is a problem seen recently to lower-ranked staff, and I fear the same will happen to you. If all what I stated is true and persists, I don't see you as a qualified CM, and if you do get promoted, there is a chance you may not last long. Good luck on your RfCM!  ~ Roy25     Talk  |  Contributions     17:57, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * You have the traits of a chat moderator: maturity, activity and a respectful user. I don"t see anything that would change my vote. That said, I have your full support on this request. Best of luck! Harveycane   (Talk |  Contributions)  18:04, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello Sandy. I see you've made the application you've been been quite vocal about for some time now. Based on what you've demonstrated during your time as an autopatrolled user, I think you would make a fair candidate for our next moderator. You are respectful and civil in our chat room server and are active on the wesbsite. However, one of my primary concerns with you is that I don't always see you very often around on the server to which you will be moderating. Additionally, as others have noted, you have an occasional tendency to "mini-mod", which is frowned upon. However, I believe that your good qualities outweigh most of the negatives, and thus I will be leaning toward supporting your request. Good luck. Cooper (talk) 18:48, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * Like most others have summarized above me, you are a very fair candidate for chat moderatorship. You are quite civil and respectful, and I like that. However what might not make me be able to fully support is if you got this position, stepping up your activity a little might need to happen. Good luck with your request! https://images.wikia.nocookie.net/hypercane/images/thumb/2/24/Signature_Icon.png/19px-Signature_Icon.png Hypercane  ( talk  ) 19:11, September 14, 2019 (UTC)
