how to decide who to vote for

If you want to make an informed decision on who to vote for, you can also read the candidates' answers in the election Q&A, and you also can look at examples of their participation on Meta and how they conduct themselves.

@ElectionBot Please don't dominate this chatroom like you've been doing.
@ElectionBot I don't like candidates waiting to the final day to nominate themselves, when they haven't stopped in this chatroom, thus providing too little information, too late, for many users, who might take Sunday off.

Elected ♦ moderators is an entirely voluntary role, and they are not paid by Stack Exchange.

Maybe it only gives it for candidates.

@MattSamuel You are not eligible to nominate yourself in the election as you do not have at least 1000 reputation.

Given that I have almost 53K reputation that seems to be inaccurate.

how is candidate score calculated
ElectionBot
ElectionBot
17:50
The 40-point candidate score is calculated this way: 1 point for each 1,000 reputation up to 20,000 reputation (for 20 points); and 1 point for each of the 8 moderation, 6 participation, and 6 editing badges

Quite possible, I only have the association bonus on SO.

Well I do have an SO account with 101 reputation. If others don't have SO accounts that theory would explain why it can't calculate their candidate score.

Slightly off topic...I can't figure out how to remove or edit my own messages. Can anyone explain how that is done?

In chat, yes. Seems to be pretty short, like 2-3 minutes?

@MattSamuel I thought it's five minutes on main or meta to edit comments, likely only 2 minutes on chat.

Either is fine.
@amWhy I don't know it. I assume some user who happens to be a mod on SO brought it here. I do not know why they did that though.

@quid Pretty intrusive idea, whoever is responsible. Don't keep bugging me in "whatever, quid. I've left the room for the time being.

@amWhy I think it was intended as helpful but if we collectively do not like it I assume it can be removed as easy as it came. For the time being I renew my proposal to ignore it. Sorry for the other ping. See you.

@quid ping me when you are free and attentive. I don't want to distract you when you can't afford to be distracted. Of course, this will mean that just because you're free when you ping, I may not be. But I'll be upfront from the get go, to let you know that.
