Wait, my suggestion was for users to apply by answering certain questions, in whatever format we wanted and as many users can do it as they want to only once, and must apply under a deadline on the forum board. Then after they apply, we all get in one big meeting and decide on which users. to choose. I've done that for different wikis and it's worked most of the time. And for moderators, I think the community can decide on users we can probably choose.

I don't necessarily think we're favoring over other people if it's based on their application and how seriously they take it. They have to understand what it takes to have power like an administrator, and to not abuse it. I think for themselves, they can reflect on their behaviors here. Effort on the questions reflects on their determination and maturity to become an administrator. That's just my take. There can be more mature users than those who just have a lot of edits. This is kind of how Wikia staff look for administrators look in users wanting to adopt the wiki.
