Only four to five left for moderator votes in MO's moderator election....

^^^ Only ~4hours left for MO's moderator election...

@AlexanderGruber Keep going with what you can do! I think it's good to regularly push yourself just a tiny bit (as you're doing) to regain what was lost and maintain the rest. And yes, I hope the fresh air and scenery helps! =)

Good luck today, @Asaf!

THIS is going to be FUN! What's the guess : nail-biting, or landslide finish?

@TeresaLisbon I don't know... One of them will certainly will win (has score of 1 out of 40, but I don't know enough about six of the candidates, besides Pedro and Asaf.

@amWhy No no, I was just having some fun, I'll take the uneducated guess that three candidates are going to go head to head , very close, and the rest are going to fade way in an obvious fashion. I'll also guess that exactly one of Asaf and Pedro is going to be close, and the other is going to be part of the "rest", although of course it's such a wild guess, as a detective I should be doing better! I'll read the responses and make a more informed guess now.

@TeresaLisbon Of course, I understand! Imagine how nail-biting mod elections on this site can be. One almost wished to take part of the day off from work, or sleep! For those very involved on this site, anyway.

@amWhy Just found out that this user has been suspended, who wrote the MathJax beginner tutorial. I have no clue what they may have done wrong, I thought they were a quite good fit on meta! Anyway, it just came as a bit of a surprise, I was redirecting someone to that page and then I saw it.

@TeresaLisbon It looks like they were suspended on the main site, for "rule violations" (almost impossibly broad to know the infraction based on that). (Any user suspended is also suspended from meta.)

@amWhy I see, oh, wonder what the rule violation must have been to be fair, at least on meta I did not see anything that'd raise a flag regarding rule violation.

Looks like it occurred on March 28th. It is unusual to suspend someone for four months, but if it wasn't the first suspension, the next tend to get longer.

My word, four months! Good luck to them, that tutorial has come in very handy, I'm asking new users to put up reviews when they visit the page, none really went so far to be honest. Of course, 95% of our work ends up becoming nothing to shout about, like that day when I made a user reopen their question with 20 back-and-forth queries, and then bam, one answer and the question got self-deleted.

Well, it is something to shout about, but in a , well, embarrassing way. It was April fool's day as well. Not an easy pill to swallow.

Twiddling thumbs, ONE HOUR TO GO!

@TeresaLisbon Note that @Asaf is the quickest in accessing and reporting election results, he beats the *paid Community managers every time in elections on math.se, and no doubt has and will do the same on MO. He's that good!

@TeresaLisbon 50 minutes to go....

@amWhy Absolute genius! 50 difficult minutes to pass, let me find a question to answer!

22 to go,

@TeresaLisbon I know. It's hard, because I know who would make a good mod there, no moderator the others, and I know one I could never vote for, nor did I ever vote for them here. The former mods here, and will stick around here. The latter would immediately resign here, which would be good for math.se, but bad for MO. I should stop while I'm at it, but for sure, @Asaf deserves to be a mod there. If you read the statements from both our mods there, you see who's got the interests of both sites

in mind, and the one who is looking only for a challenge to meet his own professional growth...(what about service??)

I'm interpreting their candidate statements, and I think pretty honestly.

10 minutes to go!!!

@amWhy Yeah, took a look for some time, it's clear who has their heart in the right place. I don't agree with the idea of moderators serving indefinitely though. Reading a certain sentence in Kohl's comments regarding this , gave me a sense of agreement.

@TeresaLisbon Ironic, I was just commenting opposing indefinite terms, on our sister room!

@amWhy Haha, yeah, I'm also guilty of putting comments in both rooms, but now we are approaching the business end, 5 minutes to go , oh, heart skips beats. I revise my prediction, I think three people are going to make it at a canter with the fourth well behind, and exactly one of these is going to be a math.se mod. Waiting to see this crumble in some time.

Four minutes!.... Asaf has typically posted results first on meta, I think. Not sure, but I'm opening the meta site to MO as well!.

@TeresaLisbon Imagine the next election here! ;D

@amWhy Just the mere thought makes me shiver, I can already see my reaction here and I cannot imagine running for one of these posts. It's thrilling!

Done... wait to see ....

OMG: it looks like they haven't had an election since 2013!

sup ya'll @amWhy,@TeresaLisbon

@Anthony Done nail biting, the MO election results are out.

@TeresaLisbon who won

well, let's light up the mood in here

@Anthony One of our MSE moderators Asaf Karagila has won, along with Tim Campion and Stefan Kohl, who are long time contributors on MO.

He's now a mod on MO as well! A double moderator now @Anthony

3 new mods wow, last time MSE had an election just 1 mod was elected

@TeresaLisbon like quid, congratulations to him

Let's hope he can divide his time on both sides well!

are you in ISI now by any chance @TeresaLisbon? just a guess

@Anthony Will have to go, no I'm at home, ISI is closed pretty much because of the virus, some kids are there but being asked to go back.

Good night!

@TeresaLisbon well, you can almost always trust an old user to do that

@TeresaLisbon sleep tight

@Anthony Did you watch the Barbarians? (German film series, six episodes). If not, it's excellent: The turning point for German tribes against the Romans way way back.

Hello, @ParamanandSingh! I will kick you out of the room, if you don't head to sleep! ;D Good night! Glad to see you in the MO mods' chat, too!

@amWhy i will get to it ASAP

@amWhy now i understand, why you were called momwhy at some point ;)

adios amigos,amigas

@Anthony ;D Adios!
