I couldn't think of what template to use at first because I didn't really want this to happen, based on the talks I've had with him. Because I don't know if negotiating it with him would work based on what happened before, I'm simply going to remain neautral effectively allowing everyone else to decide for me, because I don't know at this point. The most recent talk I had with him was when he reached out to me in PM's, to say that he would become more active on the Wiki again. The result of this, was what happened the first time, and what really should have stayed the first time. The fact of the matter is, on these two seperate occasions he's upheld statements that he's(and I hate to say it) failed to live up to. What I said in his promotion thread still stands. I really do think he holds potential, but the problem is he didn't utiilize that potential and instead, to me and just about everyone else it looks like he took his moderator position for granted, when it hadn't even been that long since he was promoted. The fact of the matter JTF, is even though we like to have leisure in moderating here. You can't really be doing this. You can't be constantly dissapearing for long periods of time on here without a moment's notice(and I know you told us in Discord this time around, but because that's just a niche group of users here, you should really have made a thread on the Wiki announcing it) If you have a position on the adminstration team here, you can't  get too comfortable with dissapearing for long periods of time on the Wiki. Especially so soon after you made a thread asking for a promotion. We don't really want another situation where a moderator position is given, and the user despite taking it for granted, holds onto it for years such as what happened with Otis(I swear I had to bring that up like twice over the span of 2 years for people to finally notice)

I'll give credit where credit is due though. You did do a really good job of sorting out those chat invasions when they happened a while back. Even though you went AFK on chat a lot, it surprised me with just how quickly and effectively you were able to ban chat invaders.

I also saw you talk a whole lot more last night. I noticed some change there, which is part of why I've decided to remain neutral, because you show initiative, but I think it's too little too late now.

What I don't understand though is how often I'd see you online on Discord after you announced your most recent break,  and you'd often be playing ROBLOX. If you could  keep the Discord tab up with ROBLOX on, how come you couldn't do that with chat? I was always under the impression that you were the type to balance out your moderating on chat, with you doing things in other tabs but lately I've questioned that.

This thread happening doesn't mean you'll never get chat mod again-- it just means if you truly do want it, you'll have to remain committed to the chatroom, and show the potential that I know you have. It's not going to happen overnight though unfortunately. Now that this thread has happened, you'll have to really show that you want this position on the Wiki, but for now, I just hope you've learned from this and take what we've said onboard. It's not even about the rate of your bans either. That does factor in, but in the end all we ask for is your presence, and your contribution to things on the Wiki(like threads for example).
