Still only two candidates, I'm wondering what to make of it.

well Joe has been online
Out of the non-moderator members, who do you think would be a good candidate? justkt stands out in my mind. She flags and votes frequently
yossrian, sarge, and stephen are also very active
Aaronut
Aaronut
I would have named justkt too.
Also yossarian, sarge I think would do the right thing most of the time but I'm not sure how often he's actually on.
And yes, stephen too - though by his own admission, he's a little trigger-shy.

I've never interacted with Bob, but I do see & act on his flags frequently
Aaronut
Aaronut
There's also "Bob" - he's easy to miss on account of his handle, but he votes to close a lot.
Hah, there you go.

We could always nudge them?
give it a couple days and see how it's going

Yeah, there's certainly no need to rush, but if we're getting near the 7-day mark and it's still only us two, we should probably try to find at least one more.
It's kind of a commitment, so I'm wary of nudging too hard.
hobodave
hobodave
yea
get another Mike
besides Bob though all who we just named have been active from the start
Bob is only 2 months "behind"
Aaronut
Aaronut
Mike didn't seem like a slacker though - for all we know he had some explosive event in his life that took him away for several months.
hobodave
hobodave
right that's all I meant

I think any mod - including you or me - could disappear or burn out. Can't really predict it. The important thing is how active they are now.
I'm trying to think back to flags I've seen and who submitted them. I know there were a few lower-reputation members, I wish I could look up the history.

I've been considering throwing my hat in the ring. I've just been busy with work, trying to get ready to go on vacation on Friday. I'll see if I can find time to put together a nomination. And I guess also think about whether I really want to do it....
