Welcome all! This room is intended as a place to converse with candidates, discuss moderator traits, etc. For general discussion related to Arqade, go here: The Bridge

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

Hello!

Room was a little delayed, so just making sure you know it exists.

Wrigglenite

@Wipqozn Does that work? Don't you need a superping for people who are not in the room?

Wipqozn

@Wrigglenite THose are superpings

They just get displayed as regular pings

If you try to edit the message, you'll see it's the diamond ping.

Wrigglenite

Oh, I even clicked edit to make sure

But they only show in the message box itself

That's weird

@Wipqozn Thank you. :)

@Wipqozn How long do super pings take to work? I actually came here through a link in The Bridge, never received a notification. 🤔

Dragonrage

@Tacoタコス should be a few minutes i think. depends on chat settings. if you have faster notifications on it should be faster.

Taco タコス

@Dragonrage Interesting, now I need to go look through my settings 😂

Wipqozn

@Tacoタコス I might also only be able to ping 3 people in one message...@Catija

Taco タコス

@Wipqozn Is it a chat only notification, or should it show up in my site inbox?

Unionhawk

Superpings go to the site inbox

Catija

18:15

@Wipqozn nah. I don't think there's a max.

Unionhawk

to allow us to call people who have never been in chat

Wipqozn

@Catija Okay, great. I know for normal pings there at least used to be, MANY YEARS AGO since the bridge tested it once. Wasn't sure if the same was true for super.

Catija

Technically all chat pings go to the site inbox if you don't respond to them soon enough.

Wipqozn

@Catija OOOO SNAP! Take that @Unionhawk! You just got served.

Catija

;)

Hello

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn This is what I get for doing mod abuse yesterday, I knew I would get owned for that when I least expected it

Catija

It happens to everyone. :D

Taco タコス

@Catija That may be why I didn't see one 😁

Catija

Yeah. There's a chat setting for "faster notifications" if you have it turned on, you get an on site notification within a minute of being pinged, often sooner. If you have it off, the inbox pings can take up to 15 minutes or so.

It's off by default.

And... yeah, @Tacoタコス you don't have it enabled, so you coming here likely short circuited the on-site inbox notification.

Unionhawk

In any case welcome to the gauntlet/thunderdome/whatever

Wipqozn

18:27

Question 1: Who is your least favourite Arqade mod, and why is it @Unionhawk?

Catija

... I think that's a trap question. I recommend that no one answer it.

Taco タコス

@Catija Even if we, really, really want to?

Wipqozn

@Catija I'm innocent

Dragonrage

@Tacoタコス only with bridge/arqade memes, though the relevant ones are like 5+ years old at this point

unfortunately isuniwrong.com is no longer up :(

Wipqozn

There was a wipqozn one too which is no longer up

Dragonrage

18:34

wasnt that about blaming you for everything?

Catija

@Tacoタコス I can't prohibit you from responding. 🤣

Dragonrage

also apologies to the mod candidates, but one of the requirements to be a mod is to be a memer xD

Catija

This is why I couldn't ever be a mod here. ^^^

Wrigglenite

I can confirm that the mod chat room has some of the highest quality memes I've ever seen

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage yes

Taco タコス

OKprogrammer

19:10

@Dragonrage I have a dead meme page so I’m all set!

dly

Oh, a new chat. Hello from the football pitch. :)

And I have memes! :D

Fredy31

@Wipqozn My favorite mod is @Wipqozn *wink wink

Wipqozn

@Fredy31 Correct. I'll just click that "Rig Election" button now.

Fredy31

19:26

When @Wipqozn is called into a meeting about this joke with his bosses at Stackexchange in a few weeks. streamable.com/x5k2vs

Mod Candidates when the current Mods casually joke that 'Meme making ability' is a requirement for the job

Taco タコス

19:53

@Wipqozn hahaha

Fredy31

20:38

Should questions about 'What would you do about x question if you were a mod' be here instead of the bridge?

Unionhawk

I would say yes, personally

Fredy31

Or be on the bridge because the bridge members will be voting for us in the upcoming election?

So they need to know our stance on x or y situation

Wipqozn

20:56

The purpose of this room is to be a place for users to ask questions, so ideally it should be here. It makes it easier for other users to find answers and questions if they're all in here.

Wipqozn

Question for all candidates: One reason we're hoping to get more mods is to help us run more community events, such as the Screenshot of the Week. Do you have any experience running events for any other online communities?

Fredy31

22:07

No, I dont. This would by my first time taking responsability in an online community

1 hour later…

dly

23:15

Yes, I've hosted quite a few LAN Parties (and still do), where we hosted certain events. Events such as "screen of the week" are new to me though.

Taco タコス

23:57

@Wipqozn Not in around 5 or 6 years. I used to run SOCOM, Ghost Recon, and Gears of War tournaments for clans and singles, but it's been a long time.
