@JimG. Clearly it's because I filled the shoes of 17 mods and am now being sorely missed. Or maybe it's because you guys have managed to grow this site faster than the mods can keep up with. I'm voting for the former with the latter as a dark horse candidate for the reason.

I edited out the spam links on this post and answer: workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/50264/…

@JaneS I flagged the answer for spam as well. I have reason to believe both those accounts are owned by the same person. The "answer" was posted within 2 minutes of the question, and it is not humanely possible to type that much in 2 minutes. The question and the answer are the only posts those accounts have made here, and both accounts were created "today".

@MaskedMan no matter who owns the account, the answer was super spammy

@GodEmperorDune Yeah of course :)

@jmac thats a lot of shoes, you must have more legs than i thought

@RhysW My feet are just really really big

@MaskedMan Yes, I noticed the immediate response as well. Couple that with the links in both the question and the answer and it went from suspicious to obvious. I suspect that a moderator will be able to confirm that they likely both came from the same IP address as well :)

@MaskedMan thanks guys (and gal? I just read a long discussion on another forum about "guys" vs" gals" hah) for flagging that, enough spam flags auto deletes it which is what happened here too

@jmac Like Ronald McDonald big...

@jmac or maybe mods are still recovering from their time with you and need more support? ;)

@Chad when are you going to change your name back on the site? ;)

@enderland when i get the energy to do it :p

lol

I Was really hoping Jim or Joe Strazze would run for mod..

I think Joe just likes answering questions and that's absolutely great, too, and Jim has been pretty inactive I think

@enderland I'm ok with "gal". Assuming you meant me! ;)

@Chad I am surprised that some really good people didn't apply. I put my hand up not expecting to be a serious contender. Oh well, at least the worst I can do is third place! :)
