@Stephie I guess there's not been an announcement about this retirement yet?

@Stephie I don't know... I suppose that might depend on who steps up (or doesn't)... I think the majority of "my" work here is done! :)

@NikeDattani No, because we are still three moderators on the site. SomeShinyObject will be stepping down once a new mod is elected, passing the baton to the new member of the mod crew here. This is just a regular, very normal process. @anongoodnurse also FYI.

@anongoodnurse you will be awesome moderator! :)

@Stephie baton? looking in different way on Parenting mods from now on

Well in case I'll somehow be elected, I want one in black. Thanks. ;)

Stephie

@ShadowWizardHatesOmicron Baton. As in sports. Not cane as in corporal punishment ;-) If you get elected, you get a hat.

Or I could have said “passes the hammer”.

But no Thor's hammer, sadly.

Stephie

Coincidentally, you also have to be deemed worthy to get a hammer on SE. Can’t fly with it, though.

Why is it pinned? lol

@Stephie but I can jump with it! ;-)

Stephie

Shadow Wizard Hates Omicron

My fingers are used to type on keyboard, not tap tiny letters on virtual keyboard... and I'm too old to adjust... ;(

@Stephie I never ever got a hat... or a t-shirt, or any other stuff from SE. :-/

Oh, well, I wouldn't have worn a hat anyway.

Stephie

@anongoodnurse gross oversight!

@anongoodnurse try asking JNat about it, think he's in charge over swag.

oh wait, you're not a mod (yet ;)) lol

Too confusing to be here! :D

@Stephie "This is just a regular, very normal process." I do not disagree. The last time I saw someone resign I saw a post on Meta about it:

Q: Who will take up the mantle?

Happy new year! tl;dr: there will be a moderator election some time in March. Start thinking about if you'd like to be elected. You may or may not have noticed, but we have not had a moderator election for quite some time. It's been six years since our last one. The main reason for this is that t...

So that's why I was wondering if I'd missed something on Meta. I do understand that by "Meta" in the last sentence I meant "Parenting Meta" and in the previous sentence I meant "ELU Meta".
