a. Why do you believe you are qualified to be promoted to this position?
I'm a very active user in discussions, which would allow me to swiftly spot any posts that break the rules of ESB. I've also made sure to read all of those rules carefully, so I know how to deal with inappropriate posts. I'm also a well-known user on discussions, so I'd be able to calmly resolve any potential conflict before it escalates.
b. Have you had experience with this position before?
Yes, I've had a ton of experience with this position. I'm an admin and a mod on several other wikis such as Rugrats Wiki and Fairly Odd Parents Wiki, and I was formerly a discussion mod on this very wiki.
c. What are your best contributions to Encyclopedia SpongeBobia and why?
I've made thousands of edits on ESB across my many years being on this wiki, and these edits range from minor edits improving small parts of a page to completing unfinished galleries.
d. How do you plan to use your rights if your request is successful?
I've noticed a recent uptick in inappropriate posts in discussions, which is something that many discussions users have complained about. While yes, we already have two discussion mods that are good at moderating, they're not always online. I'm active during hours in which the other two mods usually aren't, and thus, I'd be able to fill a gap in the moderation.
e. Have you been in a situation in which you needed the user rights for this position at that moment but were unable to act?
Yes, this has happened too many times to count. Rule-breaking posts run rampant on the wiki, and I've seen many of them go undetected (especially during the hours of the day when the discussion mods usually aren't online). This is another thing which I aim to fix if I become a discussion mod.
f. Is there anything else you want to add?
Obviously I'm not going to shy away from my past, so please read this blog post in regards to my past actions. BookFandumb(M·B·C·E)

Support - well in my opinion BookFandumb has a lot of rizz and isn't from Ohio, he's pretty skibidi too. i think he deserves the role of discussion moderator because of these facts. we always love a Skibidi rizzler non-Ohio kai cenat massive gyatt discussion moderator. Spongeboy0009 (talk)

Strong Support - I'm surprised how biased people can be? Chief bureaucrat of the wiki are you even sure that the voices of other bureaucrats and administrators should be counted? They don't carry anything in them. As for all the users who voted against it, you really are not thinking people who just like to underestimate good people. Yes, BookFandumb has already submitted his seventh application for a discussion moderator, but did it occur to you that he is applying because he wants to moderate the discussions??? No, he applied just to get the rights, that's all, he has no more goals, he just submits a lot of requests. A year has passed since the last request, but no, you need to vote against it, because this person has too many requests!!! I am amazed at your motor processes in the brain. It's time to put aside the past and evaluate reality (especially administrators, bureaucrats, and generally those people who still edit this wiki at the time when I was active) - Stryker305 (talk) 09:21, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Support - Honestly I think I've seen enough proof you've changed for better. I feel like you could actually work fine as a discussion mod. Jfro8461 (talk) 13:52, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Very Weak Support - On second thought, I think you are ready overall. Despite my vote though, I still feel like you could of waited a few months but eh. SpongeTron D(W•C•E) 18:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Extremely Strong Support - I know you do this every year, but I think it'd be a good idea for you to become a discussion mod one last time especially because of all the drama that's been going on recently. Plus, we need more mods like you on the wiki so we have less of a chance of people quitting/leaving, taking breaks or getting blocked because of you-know-who (not naming names) DecemberPlayz(W•C•E•A) 2 May 2024
Reply - You say there'd be less of a chance of people leaving because of "you-know-who," but then proceed to claim you're "not naming names." I think you are if you're _targeting people being the reason of something. SBPM-24(W•C•E•A)
Weak Support - If Book were requesting once a week/month I could see how this is too many requests, but he's waited a long time since his last one. He was much younger when he made those mistakes, and has since apologized and corrected his behavior--he's much easier to approach, which is a great quality for a moderator. I think it would not hurt anything to have him on the team, because someone with his level of maturity could do the job well. I say we give him a shot. Idroppedmypen ★00:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Weak Support - At first I pledged to not vote in this amazing display of democracy here in the Democratic Republic of ESB because this is about discussion moderator and I haven't stepped foot in the discussions in months so it'd be unfair to judge you based on my own personal opinions and biases but guess what? Everyone else is doing it and I can't miss this opportunity to have my name enshrined on history, anyways I agree with everything Pen said, you've improved a lot, I'm proud of you, you deserve another shot, Iwuedfh out!

Neutral - Sorry, Book. I know I said I think you be ready in discord but others do bring up a good point and you have applied for ESB roles many times in the past 4 years. I'm not saying I don't want you to not be an user without powers for the rest of your ESB time if you plan to stick around for many years to come but I think you should wait for about 2.5 to 4 years. Nothing personal and I do believe you are much better than you once were. SpongeTron D(W•C•E) 03:58, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Neutral leaning toward Oppose - I just feel very split. While it has been a while since your last request, I simply feel uncertain if enough has been done to convince me you can handle these rights again. BSpongeSM02(W•C•E•L•A) 19:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Neutral - That's incredibly complicated choice. First of all, it doesn't really matter how many requests you've done. What does matter, is that you already had this position. In you third request, I said "Strange consideration that the past can be forgotten and forgiven that quickly. But goin' right way, my apperications for this." So less than in a month, you went to "I'm sorry, I've changed, that won't happen again", users put their trust in you and in the fourth request, which was successful, you've got your position. Half a year later you got demoted, it was pretty much expected honestly. And I read you blog indeed, your appologies are worthy. I understand you here, because I changed a lot as well for the last 4 years. Everyone (except for maybe one user) changed for the last 4 years. But, we've gone so often through those "I'm sorry, I changed" - "I lied" swings, so how can we trust you that right now is the time you actually got mature once and for all? And in my opinion, out of all voting users, danielogi has got the best comment - why don't you simply give up and accept that you can't be a part of the crew (again)?

Neutral - I'm honestly mixed about this tbh. This is your seventh request so that's kinda concerning, but all the while, the past drama apparently isn't relevant anymore, so I'm not entirely sure what to vote. SBPM-24(W•C•E•A)

Weak Oppose - On second thought I definitely agree with FireMatch on this one. The fact that this is your seventh request is a major concern, and I haven't seen enough evidence to suggest you're a more viable candidate than other Discussions users.Anthony2306(W•C•L•E) 02:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Oppose - I'm honestly amazed you're still going for this after like 7 requests. Why not just, you know, move on? Nothing too personal, but last time I recall nearly everyone wanted you to resign. danielogi
Oppose - 7 requests for moderator and you've barely really done anything to prove why you should be one. Last User Rights Review you got a lot of negative votes, too. Scrooge200 (talk) 02:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Strong Oppose - Considering your history on ESB and the fact this is your seventh request definitely should tell you still aren't qualified for this role. Jfro8461 (talk) 10:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Oppose - Unconvincing answers – not enough to convince me that you wouldn't just repeat the actions that led to your initial tumultuous demotion. Users who have previously been problematic don't suddenly stop being problematic if they get user rights (ask me how I know!). Being demoted through a user rights review is a black mark and a half on any user as far as I am concerned; I would urge all users to look back at thesepages, in case you weren't around in 2021 or have forgotten why he was demoted in the first place. I am genuinely astonished that you have received as much support as you have here, and that you are on track to get your rights back.

Comment - 4 users have left neutral votes without any reasoning. May I respectfully ask why? Neutral votes do not directly affect the calculation of the percentage to determine whether rights are granted, and without providing any reasoning, you are surely not doing anything to influence other users' opinions? As far as I am concerned, you may as well have not voted – is this an incorrect perception to have of the situation? Jiunaughten (talk) 17:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
