Both the decision and timing were not public matters, a policy in part selected to prevent "gaming" of the system, given the seriousness of such matters.</p> <p>In 2008, this method was <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:CheckUser/Appointments/August_2008?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CheckUser/Appointments/August 2008">changed</a>. There was a specific invitation from the Arbitration Committee to any administrators interested in CheckUser permissions to volunteer themselves privately, following which the resulting shortlist was publicly announced and community feedback and comments were solicited - again via private email to ensure neutrality and full openness. The same method was used, with slight modification, to appoint an additional oversighter in October of that year.</p> <p>In 2009 the method was again modified following a <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/CheckUser_and_Oversight_appointments?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight appointments">request for comments</a> on the desirability of having a community based election as the final stage. While the committee retained final jurisdiction over the eventual appointments, the appointments were made in accordance with the results of an election.
