As a piece of being the Administrator here at FoH, part of my duties are running the moderation team and handling moderator elections. Over time, suineg suineg and I came up with the rules and procedures for moderator elections that you see here. Please read them all before you decide to run for the position of moderator.


Candidates will create a thread in the following format "User for Amod - Dec to Jun". Failure to follow the format of the title is grounds for disqualification because if you can't follow these basic rules you can't follow the will of the people.

Inside that thread you will lay out your case for why you should be a moderator. This is NOT why someone else should not be. You aren't competing against others per se.

You will then answer any questions people may have. You can link supporting reasons like helpful posts, your likes on your profile, any medals you have earned, or anything else you think is relevant to you being a good candidate for the office of Amod.

You cannot nominate someone else, you can run yourself.

YOU WILL KEEP YOUR CAMPAIGN TO YOUR THREAD. YOU WILL NOT CAMPAIGN IN YOUR FELLOW CANDIDATES' THREADS OR THE REST OF THE FORUM AT ALL. However, in your signature you can put that you are running and a single link to your thread. You can also campaign in the general election thread in this forum.


Moderators will not serve consecutive terms. This is to prevent a permanent incumbent class of moderators here at FOH. For this election cycle, this means that:


Are ineligible to run. Thank you for your service, gentlemen.

There are also rewards for completing a successful term as Amod. If you successfully complete a 6 month term you will earn a unique medal to commemorate your service and will also be awarded an amount of forum currency equal to being a Silver Donor. Why a Silver Donor and not Gold? Because for the duration of your term as Amod and for at least 6 months afterwords, Tucobucks items are not allowed to be used by Amods or recent Prior Amods. This is to prevent any potential abuse from any grudges that may have been festering from their time as Amod.


First week - announcement and rules posted DEC 2ND - DEC 7th
Second week - campaigning. DEC 7th - DEC 14th
3rd week - voting. DEC 14th - DEC 21st
4th week - transition period. DEC 21st - DEC 28th

Moderators will assume power after voting is finalized on the 21st. The term for this round of moderators will be from DEC 2019 - JUN 2020. Unless the conditions are met to hold a special election (see new moderator rules and guidelines).

Voting process:



This will NOT be a public vote and you will not be able to change your vote so consider wisely and carefully.


Good luck in your campaigns, candidates!
