SiIvaGunner Wiki:Moot
The moot is a monthly meeting in the #moot channel on the Discord server where we keep each other updated, and is open to everyone!
A Moot is a monthly meeting between users meant to efficiently discuss and vote on topics of importance. All SiIva Wiki editors are invited to attend. Don't hesitate to voice your opinion when asked; every voice counts! The moot is generally an informal, "open floor"-type event, where anyone can talk about things on their mind, but it's a very good idea to write down what you'll be talking about in advance here.
The name "moot" is taken from The Elder Scrolls Wiki's moot.
Participation
The Moot is open to participation from all users!
Our User conduct rules do apply, so interfering with Moot may result in a kick. While not a requirement, if you want to bring up a topic, it is highly encouraged that you sign your name below.
If you're not presenting, you shouldn't sign your name and may join any time. While this is meant to be a fun and informative event, participants are expected to act respectful and be patient. As such, interrupting those presenting a topic isn't allowed—your time to speak will come.
Verification
To participate in moots, you must have your Discord account associated with your Fandom account, an informal process called verification. Verification is required to keep users accountable during moot discussions.
To be verified, join the SiIvaGunner Wiki Discord and follow the verification instructions in the Rules channel.
All verified users are listed at SiIvaGunner Wiki:Discord server.
Timezones
The Moots are always scheduled at 11 PM UTC on the first Saturday of each month; days will be announced in advance. To avoid confusion, the different time zones have been provided.
Note: UTC does not have Daylight Savings Time so it stays the same all year round. If your country uses DDST the time will be an hour (or a half hour) later than it is stated in the timezone slot.
You can usually tell a Daylight Savings Time (summer time) apart from a standard time (winter time) depending on the letter used in the acronym: either "D" or "S." For instance, US Eastern time is either EDT (daylight savings) or EST (standard). Please note that some timezones have the same name both in winter and in summer time.
All summer timezone names are marked with a reference. Check here which timezone your country belongs to.

Different positions
Leader
An organizational position usually given to the most senior staff member present.
- The Moot Leader is responsible for officially starting and ending the Moot, providing summaries for each topic prior to a vote, counting the votes, and moving the group forward between topics.
- The Moot Leader is also responsible for creating logs of the moots and summaries of the moot.
- The script used by the current moot leaders can be found at User:Ironwestie/Bot/moot log compact.py, along with instructions on how to format moot logs.
- Ironwestie's Discord Archive Bot can also be used to archive moots.
- The Moot Leader may wish to make Discord events to remind participants of when the moots will be.
Presenter
One of the people who is suggesting something.
- Presenters usually speak in the order they are signed up for below.
- An ideal presentation includes a relatively brief explanation of their proposal along with any relevant additional information. When they're finished, they will let everyone know and discussion and voting will begin.
- The Presenter should try to be as clear and grammatically correct as possible. Respect for others is extremely important while trying to get their point across. They may argue for or against a point, or maintain neutrality and let others decide. The Presenter may discuss the topic with everyone else and cast a vote when voting occurs.
Spectator
A regular user watching and/or voting in the Moot.
- Anyone can attend the Moot without signing their name. All votes count, as do all opinions. No opinion counts any more or less than any other opinion. Anyone who purposely creates tension may be kicked.
Moot procedure
- Opening Time: Presenters should try to be online in the Discord server at this time no matter their order. Around ten minutes should be given to wait for latecomers before the actual meeting begins.
- Beginning of the meeting: Once everyone is satisfied with the number of audience members, the first Presenter will speak about their topic.
- The Presenter goes: The user will give their opening statements, present their case, and then rest their case.
- Discussion: Once the Presenter is finished, they will ask those attending to discuss their ideas in a civil manner.
- Voting: Everyone will get a say in the topic and if it's evident via votes that roughly two-thirds are in agreement, the results will be tallied and the moot will continue. If the topic is highly controversial, a separate consensus can be created in the forum. To vote, respond with either (yes)—support for the proposal—or (no)—opposing the proposal. One can withdraw their vote if one wishes, and remaining neutral is also allowed.
- End of the Discussion: After a decision is reached, the next Presenter(s) will repeat the same process until they are all finished. Once all discussions have been closed, the meeting will come to an end.
Sign-up
Attendance
Here is a list of different positions to sign up for. If you want to present a topic, simply edit this next section and sign your signature. We take constant record here, so we will know if a name is where it shouldn't be or isn't there at all.
Presenter
Those wanting to introduce a topic to the Moot will put do like so: Signature – Topic A new bullet will separate different Presenters from one another. For example:
- Bob – Moot stuff
- Jerry – Moot Stuff
To avoid stretching out the moots for too long, users may present 2–3 topics per moot. If a meeting is already pretty full, it is advisable to try your luck with the next one. When signing your name, please check to see if someone is already covering the topic you want to introduce to the Moot.
