Poach is a nice chap, I see him being very helpful in the PH&A Military Advice thread, I can't speak for his D&D Activity but I don't know if there is enough solid contributions. Perhaps he could join Content?
Perhaps he could, although I'm of the view that he already has enough quality posting under his belt for citizenship. I've known him since I started posting in the Mudpit and he is capable of formulating an objective opinion and then putting that opinion across in a polite and concise manner. He brings interesting points to debate, especially within his domain of expertise which would be the armed forces. You can look on him as something of a British Farnan.

Ah, thank you for the D&D perspective. I shall plunge in. Maybe a good writer for your publication Bronze Jom, a soldier's perspective.
Perhaps he could, although he's never expressed any interest in doing so and like I said, I've known him for a while so he knows that I'm the editor. I don't think that should be held against him, though. I think he's there already without having to add anything from content.

I think we need to stop seeing the content branch as a stepping stone to citizenship and viewing it as a separate entity entirely. We need members there who are genuinely willing to contribute rather than just to achieve a goal.
On to the applicant however, i've came across him during my time in the VV and can easily say his posting is of the citizenship standard, so i'll be voting yes when the poll comes up.
I see a good writer in him, his knowledge coupled with his ability to 'argue' put him in good stead for the Helios. Merely a suggestion, not making it a stepping stone.
First of all, the pot calling the kettle black.
Second of all, I agree in that Poach is a good candidate for the Helios.
Third of all, that is entirely on Jom to hire him or not, and Major was trying to be helpful - as always.
Disregarding the above comments, however, I have looked somewhat more into the user's posting history. I am very pleased with the posts that I have found. This is one of the times that I wish I could say that I have been watching the poster for a while and have wanted him to get the badge. It is not, but the fact that he has slipped people's notice and still contributed in a good fashion makes him all the more deserving in my eyes.
To recap, I will be voting yes on this user.
I have also looked into his posting history. I like this guy, great attitude in the Military Advice thread, good debates in the VV, especially on military topics. I don't see any of this diminishing post-rank affirmation, I also see no problem with those Mod interactions, seems like a reasonable chap probably a mistake. I can see him fitting very well into the CVRIA and SYMPOSIVM.
I shall be voting yes.

I'm not sure how much Meg is willing to customise the citizenship PMs to inform candidates when they pass, but if he does perhaps she could include a little note to the applicant to try and stay within the ToS in the future. He's a good candidate, we just need to iron out these little bumps.

We all have our ideas about regarding incidents that should stay within the ToS. For me personally 6 months isn't enough. However these infractions won't be decisive as he only collected 2 points for insulting, one point for off topic and one note.
I'll invest a yes in this one but he barely reached it.
