a. Why do you believe you are qualified to be promoted to this position?
Recently, there's been drama that's been going on for some time, and while it has declined, there is still some posts prone to drama. Most administrators and discussion moderators aren't as active as I am (I understand that they have work and other life stuff), and I understand how the policy works and everything. I have not got any warnings in this account here, so that's proof that I know the policy. I also report posts that are (or at least seem to be) against the policy, whether via the report button, or to one of the administrators/discussion moderators. Also, I just realized I am eligible to request to be discussion moderator since a few days ago, and I thought "Eh, why not?"
b. Have you had experience with this position before?
I currently have an administrator role in like five other wikis, but these wikis are lesser wikis, so in a big wiki like this one, not really.
c. What are your best contributions to Encyclopedia SpongeBobia and why?
If I'm going to be honest, I'm not much of an editor on ESB, but I added some trivia to a couple of pages like the "Jimmmy Blobfish" page, and "Yours, Mine and Mine" page. I also added information to the "Plankton and the Beanstalk" page, such as the characters, when it first aired into our televisions. If we're talking discussions too, I'd say pinging administrators and discussion moderators in posts that don't need to go on much longer, and report those posts to said administrators and discussion moderators.
d. How do you plan to use your rights if your request is successful?
I plan to lock or remove (depending on the scenario) every post that might have the potential for drama or that violates the policy., as well as, having to lock any game thread (or any other thread for that matter) that has been requested by the user who made said thread. I will also frequently monitor the social activity for extra help.
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?
There has been numerous occasions where I feel like I needed at least a discussion moderator role to lock a post filled with drama or calling out on one or more users. However, either I pinged an administrator/discussion moderator to lock/remove (again, depending on the scenario) the post I pinged them in, I clicked on the report button corresponding to the post, or I brought the offending post to the administrator/discussion moderator, but as I mentioned earlier, they're sometimes busy with life, so they naturally can't respond right away all the time.
f. Is there anything else you want to add?
Yes, I'm one of the sillier users, but one can still be a really good moderator, while being one of the silliest users. Also, if my request isn't successful, I'll try to work out those criticisms (so long as they're constructive), and I'd thank Anthony2306, BSpongeSM02, PinkPugPrincess, and LarryBoy fan, for handling all the drama that has been in the discussions recently. However, other than that, that's pretty much it for my request for a discussion moderator.

Oppose
- Oppose - Per Gamer's comment. I also think you should be more active in the (Main) namespace because looking here, I can see gaps. PinkPugPrincess (W♥C♥L♥E♥A) 18:52, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - I believe it went a little something like this... Doh! Get 'em off me! Get 'em off me! No, get 'em off, get 'em off! Oh, oh God, oh God! Oh, get 'em off me! 0fflinejoe (W•C•E) 12:44, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - Argumentative, pedantic and mathematically illiterate - a description of yours truly it would seem. I’m still opposing though. Jiunaughten (talk) 14:28, 26 January 2024 (UTC) (edited at 18:44, 26 January 2024 (UTC))
- Weak Oppose - I'm sure you have potential but I think you should wait a bit. SpongeTron D (W•C•E) 18:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - per above. MoonGirlCasey22 (W•C•E) Big Birthday Blowout is epic!
- Oppose - Per my initial reasoning + the other opposers. Anthony2306 (W•C•L•E) 19:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - You're a great person and all, but you did cause a lot of drama earlier this month and caused many users to leave. While you have since apologized for your actions, still, there are times when you've taken posts as a joke and not seriously, so honestly you just don't seem ready yet for being a moderator. As your friend, I will 100% support you with whatever you do, but as a regular wiki user, I don't feel like you are ready just yet and you do need more time. Saltychickenegg3927 (W•C•L•E)
Comments
- Comment - I note from Special:Editcount/MarioBob PixarPants that you only have 51 main namespace edits, and from Special:Contributions/MarioBob PixarPants how you edited the same article 3 times in less than two minutes, with the later two edits being incredibly insubstantial. Given that you made those edits less than 9 hours before submitting this request, this can only raise eyebrows when the minimum number of main namespace edits required is 50. Jiunaughten (talk) 17:00, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reply - Actually, it was more than nine hours from the time I submitted this request and my last mainspace contributions. MarvinBob! (M•C•B•E•L)
- Reply - Actually, 8 hours and 49 minutes passed between your first edit on this page and your last main namespace contributions (there's no such thing as a "mainspace"). It has nothing to do with the price of fish anyway, but since you decided to argue, enjoy your oppose vote! Jiunaughten (talk) 14:28, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reply - Actually, it was the 23rd when my last namespace edits were up. I made this proposal on the 25th. I'm not trying to argue, I was trying to state facts. MarvinBob! (M•C•B•E•L)
- Comment - So, we unanimously agree that I should need more time to improve to become D-mod right? MarvinBob! (M•C•B•E•L)
- Comment - Damn, I never realized how mixed this request was gonna be. MarvinBob! (M•C•B•E•L)
