My concern about making mitchell a global mod is that many months ago, he said that he mostly reads a few select sections (I am not sure if this is still true or not), so he might not be interested in reading threads outside of those sections, which would be necessary to handle reports outside of those sections.
As you clearly state, I said that many months ago. I think that was even before I got promoted to be a moderator of certain sections. So, please, do not assume what I currently do (or don't) read nor what currently interests me as those do change over time.
I, currently, have barely anything on my Board ignore list (with most local boards being an exception), as I want to handle every report as good as possible (and else they are passed along to someone else). Also, reports from sections that I've on ignore are still shown in the Report list, so I'll still be able to handle them even if I don't want to see every thread within it. This does not mean that I do not visit that section, it just means that I do not want to see it in my "

I would vote that archdow101 be made moderator of the dev & tech section without further consideration, and the bitcoin discussion section if he has an interest in becoming a global mod -- after he gets more experience in moderating a more broad range of boards, I would not doubt that he will become qualified.
If you want achow101 promoted, please make an appropriate thread in Meta as it has no place in this thread (which is about promoting someone to a Global Moderator).
As some people might have noticed, I haven't commented on this thread since it's creation for one simple reason; I do not want to influence the results in any way or form. I just do not want "misinformation" to spread, as in, incorrect assumptions about me and how I do my job. QuickSeller, this post is/was not meant to attack or insult you. I'll try and not get involved with this election any further as I do not want to cause any drama.
