That said, I think Rioting would make a good moderator upgrade from "Forum Helper". She's here frequently, and she's almost always diplomatic contributor. I've also noticed that she's been able to calm more than a couple of confrontational situations between posters. If you can do that without the threat or power to ban someone, there's something to be said about that.

I have not spent enough time here to make a properly informed suggestion but I do like most of what I see from RiotingSpectre. But since she is refusing in favor of her own votes I guess it doesn't matter.
Thank you guys but it turns out I didn't make the cut despite the votes. Congrats to the guys who made it thought
