@ElectionBot In order to nominate yourself as a moderator, does a candidate need to have 3000 reputations on a particular site or a sum over network-wide reputations?
Hi, why do the applicants advertise so much their patience. Compared to other communities on Stackexchange I have to say, the mathematics community has almost always been very patient.
@baxbear If you see here, patient is actually listed as one of the general criterion to be a good mod.
@AbramIvanov Unfortunately the bot cannot answer that. But you can count the Constituent badges awarded. Right now it's 7729, so 7729-6676 users has voted.
The election bot answers only to a fixed set of questions (to be given in the exact form specified), which are listed on "@ElectionBot help" It is not an AI chat-bot one can talk to or anything like that.
Examples of election FAQs I can help with: - how does the election work - who are the candidates - how to nominate - how to vote - how to decide who to vote for - who are the current mods - are moderators paid - what is the election status - when is the election starting - when is the election ending - how is candidate score calculated - what is my candidate score - what are moderation badges - what are participation badges - what are editing badges
@Cornman Your candidate score is 19 (out of 40). You are missing these badges: Cleanup, Marshal, Steward, Convention, Investor, Copy Editor, Refiner, Tag Editor.
Welcome to the election chat room! The election is currently in the election phase. I can answer frequently-asked questions about the election - type @ElectionBot help for more info.
@blademan9999 You are not eligible to nominate yourself in the election as you do not have at least 1000 reputation. Your candidate score is 4 (out of 40).
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
I think it is better it doesn't. I mean it is a bit noisy as it is. I don't want to complain as I also talked with it a bit, but it does dilute the actual conversation (to the extent there is any)
@aminabzz Is that official policy? I'd agree with it, but you should be telling the numerous users who explicitly stated their votes on the main election page!
That is not to say that the advice is not good; just that not following it is common (and not something one gets in trouble for with the mods of SE etc)
@quid Well I don't see any problem with justified endorsements, but I'd think that just saying "I voted (or will vote) for XXX." without any reason whatsoever wouldn't contribute meaningfully to the election.
How do the first, second, and third choices contribute towards a candidate's final vote count? Is the final count a weighted average of the total first, second, and third choices they get?
How will the voting in the elections work?
I know that we elect one moderator and I have heard there are three votes to be cast.
How does this work exactly? What are the implications of casting more than one vote? If I have a clear preference, do I vote only for them, or do I still cast other vot...
