because if you dont know how well they act normally, how can you trust them to be a mod??

trusting them as a mod when you dont even know how they act normally is stupid

saying that not knowing them well is a stupid reason to oppose is also stupid

That is exactly why I oppose most of the time.

If i don´t know them i wouldn´t vote. If you vote "oppose" for someone that you didn´t know about his/her existence, you are subtracting a vote for a person and you don´t know if it will be good. In fact, vote "oppose" to a person that you don´t know because you think it would be bad is to be a little selfish. For my part, i´m giving you your karma. And i repeat you probably will hate me. Maybe it is a little selfish, but if you don't know if the person will be a decent mod, it's better to be in a range somewhere between neutral and oppose, depending on how well you know them. Ya know what I mean?

The last few times everyone blindly trusted people to be mods regardless of how well they knew them, we got Igor, Len, and Boog.

People who oppose those who they don't know well or know the applier is at least a little shitty are, quite frankly, necessary to the wiki, since they prevent people who might not be that great at their jobs from getting won over.

My point is that not knowing them well or finding the person shitty (as long as you state reasons why theyre shitty for the latter) are valid reasons to oppose an application, and people who oppose for such a reason do have a semi-important role.

Besides, if people generally trust someone as a mod, then the application would largely consist of supports, so even then an oppose wouldn't mean much.

Well, unless you're MouCarolina who votes on everything but never takes part in the community aside from voting on shit. Seriously, why's she even here? :P
