I would be in favour of requiring candidates in the future to provide manifestos, as this would allow us to gain a better insight into candidates' moderation intentions, and would provide a better way to judge potential mods rather than it running like a popularity contest.

However, I do not feel that blind voting on manifestos would be preferable, since I feel that a candidate's previous work within the community can provide a valid reason to vote for them. For example, both RebelWatt and CrystalCrown13 have had previous moderation experience prior to these elections, and this may have provided some with a reason to vote for them.

I strongly agree that STV or some form of ranked voting should be used over FPTP for any future elections.

Finally, I'd like to say that I feel these elections have been handled very well, especially given that this is a first attempt. Huge thanks to Draz and the rest of the mods for setting this up, and congratulations to all the new mods.

Could I have my name changed to IronBarbaracle to match my new Twitch name?
Thanks

Would using in-game time be a good idea? It doesn't include the loads, so it would remove the need to separate SSDs from HDDs.
