Since we needed more help with chat (aka, Discord) and didn't know who to look at for the position, we decided to do things differently than how it is explained here. I created a form for users of the chat to fill out if they were interested in becoming a chat mod (I recieved around 25 applications). This helped find users that were both interested in the position and it helped us find who would most likely be of most assistance.

After creating this form to find potential chat mods, I realized how flawed the previous system for the chat mod position was. Normally users that don't even visit the chat would be able to support or oppose elections and demotions. The new system makes it so only the more active members in the chatting environment have a say in who the mods are (there's an easy to use voting system on the server for such occasions). There's also quite a few good candidates for the position that aren't even part of the wiki, which would complicate things to hold the proposal of their rights here rather than on the server. Therefor, I believe that this new method for the chat moderator position should become the new norm for the wiki.
