I have no idea what to make of the votes on the recommendations subject right now...
I wish people could learn how to read. Sigh.
@Pearsonartphoto A bit ironic, considering the site we're on. :)
It's gonna take a few days for the votes to shake down one way or another. If it turns out to be really close, it might be up to the eventual moderators to pick the "winner", as it were.
I realized that after I hit enter...
Well, I'm seriously tempted to flag some of the worst offenders and get them closed.
It's pretty clear that if recommendations are going to be allowed, it's going to be following tight guidelines.
I would downvote/close, but I actually don't have enough reputation to do either...
I'd probably wait until pro-tem moderators are selected. Flagging right now would just put more work on the SE employees that are filling in and runs the risk of increasing tensions around those questions. We might as well wait for a policy to come together first.
You're probably right.
Well, unless moderator selection takes a long time. I think it's supposed to be soon-ish, though. Usually sites get their mods a couple weeks into public beta and we're either already there or will be soon.

I would close vote if I had the rep, but I don't, so...
It largely depends. Sometimes it takes a while for someone to step forward.
Ere, to be asked and then accept.
SFF took over a month.
Yeah, true.
I think I know 2 of the 3 I would pick if it were up to me. The third would take a bit more work.
This site will be a bit of work, but I don't envy Christianity selection... They will both want to do it quickly there, and well.
It's interesting comparing this to SFF. SFF was both better and worse than this site in the beginning days.
Oh? How so?
Well, I do think this site lacks quality questions. I wish I could help more with that, but it takes a while to read books to get ideas for those quality questions.
But, I think this community is somewhat closer than SFF was at the beginning. About 2 weeks in SFF was in a virtual civil war, and I don't feel that here.
I think building an active community here is going to take some work, though.

Well, it's hard to come up with good questions from books. Typically, I find I can ask at most a few questions from a book. If it takes me a week to read it, then I can only ask a few questions. And some books leave even fewer questions...
Anyways, I've got to run, talk to you later.
Take care.

pro-tem mods are supposed to be elected at so many weeks from the beginning officially i think but in practice it seems to happen to be around about the time the first users are hitting 2000 reputation.
