Wouldn't it be better if you could take a break from having to patrol chat and focus on yourself and your school? Just pointing a few things out here, since I only got back home.

'This is rather insensitive, and it's as if you made it clear you don't want her in power. You also made it very easy to see that you intend to either get rid of HLL this way, or tell her to take a break, where you'd take the opportunity to support the claim that HLL is inactive.'

As for me, I am currently busy with RL issues of my own, and will work full-time on a private project in the future, so you can see why I do not appear very often.

Regarding Tate, he is busy with his own matters as well, and I still contact him via Skype for help with my own private project, and vice versa as he needs help for his own as well.

^This, this is the very definition of an accusation. You are clearly defending HLL and Tate when they are not performing in their roles. If Tate is so otherwise engaged, he needs to tell a staff member of the wiki, which he has, (ie. you), and said staff member, has, to my knowledge, not made any effort to share the information with anyone else, and, as I said below, if he can't put the time in, he needs to relinquish power to those who can.

And, if I'm being frank, I do want HLL removed from "power". And Tate. And Mirk, too, if doesn't become more active. If you can't put the time in, relinquish "power" to those who can.

I think you and Data have both managed to confuse the community removing staff who aren't doing their jobs properly to wanting the positions for ourselves. This isn't a nomination, it's a review on the effectiveness of current staff.

That non-withstanding, I fully agree with what Shilly and Sunny, and many others have said thus far. If, for any reason, you cannot do a job, it should be given to someone who can. (Not including timezones, of course. However, my time zone is similar to HLL's, and I have never seen her on chat when chat is empty. We have no guarantee the chat mods are watching it.) If HLL or Tate have issues that stop them from being chat mods, they need to realise that, and not cling to it. As you said, users shouldn't covet "power". Not to mention the fact that while I want them out of office, I don't want the job, because I know I can't put the necessary hours in. I just think the Sandbox should have its staff functioning in the best possible way.

If this were real life, and you weren't performing to satisfaction, would you be fired? When you have a job, "I'm busy" doesn't really cut it.

^The above, obviously, is not regarding life issues. But once again, if you can't put in the hours, you shouldn't be able to take the position from someone who can. That's the way the system works.
