Congrats on a great slate of candidates! Y'all made voting in this election a very positive experience, even if not an easy choice. To candidates who don't win this time, please run again in the future.

If you have questions about the election process itself, please ask your question on the Worldbuilding Meta Site. Remember, folks stepping up to lead this community are committing a significant amount of their time, please keep all discourse civil and constructive.

Well, there actually might be a pattern of them posting bad content and a different set of users doing consistent downvotes.

With that said, I would hope that anyone who ran in previous years and didn't become a mod consider running again.

By the way, @Secespitus, I've never been sure how to pronounce your name (specifically the 'c'). What language's rules should I be applying?

That's fine. It's just that targeted voting accusations are rarely accurate; users can't tell who's actually downvoting them. But we have a tendency to see patterns when they aren't there - I think it's similar to apophenia, if I'm using the term correctly.

Theres a dedicated core of users who basically only have an account so they can downvote and close other's matierial. When you end up on the top 5 users list for the stack they follow you around like fleas trying to cut you back down to size. They dont contribute much content and prefer to harass others on semantics rather than actually contribute. It gets frustrating.

the votes that count happen when the election proper starts - votes on the questionnaire mean no more than votes on any other meta post so far as election mechanics are concerned

I added my questionnaire answer. If you've got any questions feel free to ping me here.
