Q: 2019 Community Moderator Election Results

Arqade's sixth moderator election has come to a close, the votes have been tallied and the two new moderators are: They'll be joining the existing crew shortly—please thank them for volunteering, and share your assistance and advice with them as they learn the ropes! Also, please join me in...

Wipqozn

Our new mods are @Frank and @Wrigglenite! Congrats!

Moacir

8:02 PM

Congratulations!

Wipqozn

@Wrigglenite basically just kicked everyones ass

Wrigglenite

I blame candidate score

Gigazelle

yeah, candidate score looks like a direct correlation to vote placement

Wipqozn

I'm busily posting handy info for the new mods!

Mind you not here

MODS EYES ONLY

but yeah congrats to everyone who entered. You all would've made great mods.

Moacir

And just because some of the mod candidates weren't elected, feel free to keep coming here to shitpost and blame @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

8:07 PM

@Moacir I mean, that's pretty much the only reason to come to chat.

Although it occurs to me the Monster Hunter chat is suddenly going to become a sea of Diamonds

We'll need to give @Yuuki a diamond now too... just so make sure it's fully blue all the time

Wrigglenite

Should put that in the next election questionnaire

"Do you play Monster Hunter?"

Wipqozn

Oh and now the mod team is 50% Canadian

Basically we lost a canadian, and then added in a new one.

Frank

We're nice.

Most of the time.

Moacir

@Wipqozn Just for the record, I wanted to find an image of a Koopa Troopa cosplaying/pretending to be Bowser, but it seems like that is not a thing, which makes me sad

I had this image in my mind of a Koopa Troopa sit down crying while gluing cardboard cones on its shell

With a poster falling down with "Year of the Wipqozn" on the background

Ave

wait, @Frank is a mod now?

This must be a rare occurence

Moacir

So, @Frank and @Wrigglenite, any words?

Ave

I guess this is the result of everyone I voted for winning in ankara

So no one that was in my top 2 won

Still, I'm happy with our new mods.

@Frank oh how the turn tables

At least I got one right... no total loss

8:13 PM

@Wrigglenite Stop slacking and start flag purging. PUUUUUURRGE.

@InvaderSkoodge I'm still somewhat amused by it. I was rather late with my nomination.

Q: Obsidian block command?

I’m looking for a command that will allow me to spawn an obsidian block under a command block which will slowly spread to adjacent block. If possible, I would like for the obsidian to kill you when touched. I’ve looked everywhere for this but can’t find it.

@Wipqozn Clearly Monster Hunter forges the best mods.

SaintWacko

As a celebration, you should add some new room owners!

Frank

I guess that's it for my flag count, though.

Private Pansy

@Wrigglenite Nah, let's look to the future

Wrigglenite

8:15 PM

That's a good way of putting it

Yuuki

@SepiaLazers wew fun comments already

Ave

~~ave for ro when~~

look i had it for 9 minutes once and i didn't remove ro from wipqozn so

truly I'm the worst candidate

Yuuki

@Ave Really, that's a sign of failure on your part.

Ave

@Yuuki indeed.

Yuuki

You buckled under the pressure of the year of @Wipqozn.

Wipqozn

8:16 PM

@Frank You still have a super secret mod flag handle count don't worry

Ronan

@Ave The only person I ever removed was me afaik

Ave

@Ronan shame.

user15026

@Wipqozn challenge, beat my high score ;)

Frank

It took seven years to hit 8600 regular flags.

So now to see how long it takes to beat that.

Q: Is it possible to free Todd of his curse?

Somewhere in the game, you find Todd, the cursed barber. He claims he has to give 666 unique makeovers to be freed from his curse. Is it actually possible to free him, or is that just a story mechanism that exists to have a makeover NPC?

Q: What file format is used for Minecraft worlds on the PS4? How can I tell if a downloaded Minecraft map is PS4 compatible?

I've been trying to work out how to download Minecraft worlds from the internet & upload them to my PS4. This is for casual split-screen play for my kid. Here is an example of a map I downloaded. The map is marked as "PS4" & says: the showcase video below got made on the PS4 by JuicyTaz201, ...

Damn that was close and many rounds

8:36 PM

Except for @Wrigglenite.. first round majority by far (and well deserved)

Yuuki

Oh wait, of course that's who that fun comment is coming from.

Wipqozn

They did post the results much quicker

In the past elections it would usually take about 10 minutes or more.

CM have stepped it up.

Yuuki

Unless I have my Retrosaur accounts mixed up again.

Dragonrage

@Yuuki nope

@Ave nice

Ave

Initially i was going to make it stay at like 20px and grow when I moved my mouse over it

but then I decided to not do it

I can turn the bar on and off with f1 so it just ended up not adding anything useful, but took away a lot of useful information from me

I moved a bunch of other things out of the way on the top bar and such, here's the result ig: elixi.re/i/mjmj4ij8.png

if I need them they'll be in overflow menu

Honestly I could get rid of back, forward and refresh too

I never use them, I just use keyboard shortcuts

but it seems like you can't get rid of back/forward. oh well.

css'd them away (see here)

Hi!

Moacir

Hello

Stormblessed

How did two mods VTC this question?

Moacir

They VTC before they became mods

Wrigglenite

8:48 PM

Me and @Frank just got elected today

murgatroid99

Pretty much always, if it looks like a mod did something without exercising mod power, the explanation is "It happened while they weren't a mod"

@Moacir Ah, that’s interesting!

Q: Only fast travel to houses or festival?

In Forza Horizon 4, I am unable to fast travel to arbitrary points on the map and can only go to either a festival or an owned house. I seem to remember previous horizon games allowing this. Do I have to get a certain number of fast travel boards to unlock it? Can it be unlocked?

Wrigglenite

8:55 PM

Thank you!

The Mattbat999

Honestly i thought you and Dragonrage were gonna win.

Dragonrage

@TheMattbat999 never trust the questionnaire votes

The Mattbat999

@Dragonrage lol.

Dragonrage

they are never representative of how people actually vote

dly

@TheMattbat999 me too actually. But seems the candidate score superseded the nomination and questionnaire posts

The Mattbat999

8:57 PM

In my heart i was hoping i would get a diamond, but still i think the people elected will improve the communiyy.

@dly true. True.

Frank

It doesn't help that there's many that don't like my curation style.

Wrigglenite

Dragonrage definitely got a lot of support from the users I recognize during the nomination period

Frank

And while you can downvote posts, you can't downvote nominations. Unless there's a primary.

fredley

Good luck with the new job

Wipqozn

@fredley How long did that take you?

fredley

8:59 PM

@Wipqozn Oh I made it years ago, but quite a while

The Mattbat999

Next election i plan on joining the diamonds.

Dragonrage

i think @uni @Frank and i all have the same score

Moacir

@Frank While people dislike your curation style, you got elected due to people that like it or think that it is a necessary thing on the mod team

fredley

@Dragonrage rekt

Dragonrage

i think @Robotnik is the only mod we have elected with a 40/40 mod score

fredley

9:02 PM

TIL I still don't have one of the moderation badges

Wrigglenite

I'm missing Sportsmanship

The Mattbat999

I probably had one of the lower Mod Scores.

dly

@TheMattbat999 me too.. <20k rep costs a lot - but I never expected myself to get elected

The Mattbat999

@fredley that gif should be our official logo

fredley

I mean, probably not?

The Mattbat999

9:07 PM

Wait about the logo or...?

user15026

@TheMattbat999 what no why

Ave

@fredley that's very high effort

what'd you use for it?

Wipqozn

@Frank You get that?

Frank

@Wipqozn Yep

The Mattbat999

@Ash i kinda meant it as a joke.

@dly i was hoping to win, but i had alot of siubt.

*doubt

fredley

9:15 PM

@Ave Teaching people what mods do

dly

@TheMattbat999 yea I was hoping too (hence the nomination), but I didn't expect to win at all.

The Mattbat999

@dly i mean, atleast you did better in the election.

Nzall

well, Grats to Frank and Wrigglenite

Are we allowed to say who we voted for?

Wrigglenite

It's up to you, isn't it?

Nzall

You were my second choice. First choice was Unionhawk, third choice was Dragonrage

but i generally just vote based on competency, so I look at who has the highest scores

Oh wait, I think you were actually my first choice

Wrigglenite

9:24 PM

You can check if you really want to

Over here

Nzall

You had 39, and Uni, Dragonrage and Frank all had 37

The Mattbat999

I mean, Wrigglenite won automatically

Nzall

hmm... hang on, I think this time I voted based on who I knew from chat. Uni was first, then Dragonrage. You were third

Frank

@Nzall You can check

Nzall

Yeah, I just checked

dly

9:26 PM

Those scores are just an indicator of activity (badges = 20 and >20k rep another 20), competency cant be measured that simple

Wrigglenite

I am sure a large portion of people who had me as first choice did so because of my candidate score, but I agree that it's not as simple as "Oh, 39 > 37, so that's who I should vote"

Nzall

yeah, and as I said, I voted for who I knew from chat, and since Uni appears so frequently in chat, I voted for him first

dly

@Wrigglenite I actually voted based on experience with the candidates and still voted for you first. Screw the scores :P

Sterno

Okay, now someone ban @Wipqozn for me

If you need a reason, it's because it's his fault

dly

But I agree, a lot of people who don't know the candidates look at the score first

(which kinda sucks tbh)

Sterno

9:33 PM

I always vote based on how to maximize meta drama

Anyway, well played, this is the second election I've been third in a pick 2 (I mean probably I haven't run this election with pick 3 instead but), but oh well.

This would probably not be an ideal time for me to mention that I forgot to vote then

Moacir

You got RL elections to win

@TimStone I thought you were trolling but you actually do not have the constituent badge

Tim Stone

Mistakes were made

GnomeSlice

That was weird

I was just logged out. Logging back in is tricky on mobile when it tries to open the app for everything

Unionhawk

Unrelatedly, holy crap dive instructor professional liability is expensive

Dragonrage

10:11 PM

@Unionhawk probably since i was eliminated before 2nd winner was chosen

Unionhawk

I'm getting quoted $437 fully earned for a full year term for Divemaster

Dragonrage

at least i wasnt last this time. p sure i was last time i ran

Unionhawk

Divemaster assisting only is $303 which,

Private Pansy

@TimStone Boo! No democracy sausage for you

Unionhawk

At least it's not Instructor, which is $700

Plus higher dues I assume

Dragonrage

10:12 PM

@Wrigglenite likely related to the first comment on the question

Unionhawk

Too bad I can't do a short term centered around right now, policy periods all end June 30 2020, you can only modify the effective date

And the period starting June 1 2020 is $50

Actually wait it's not June 30 yet either so I can literally not do "right now"

Good catch you fool

Wrigglenite

@Dragonrage Yeah, this is unfortunate

GnomeSlice

@dly I voted entirely for people who don't normally hang around in the chat here, as it turns out. Nobody I knew very well, at least

FoxMcCloud

Yikes, I thought this meta was supposed to be upbeat and congratulatory - I think some people need to air out some grievances

user15026

I am not sure that would help, honestly

user15026

10:22 PM

(I am not sure it would be constructively done, I mean)

GnomeSlice

@FoxMcCloud I'm... Pretty surprised at the results. Personally

dly

@GnomeSlice that's ok. I voted for what I've witnessed in the review queues and on Meta, but of course not everyone does that. You have to start somewhere and the first step is looking who you know and then (probably) the scores, posts and other things.

Unionhawk

Nate Silver has logged on (he is the 538 guy)

This is way funnier now that I wasn't elected so it's all good now

@GnomeSlice Me too tbh, not how I would have called it.

@FoxMcCloud yea, the downvotes are really heavy. Never seen that happen anywhere, not even on So, where votes can be quite toxic as well.

fredley

10:26 PM

Why is literally every election at the moment like this

Unionhawk

I suspect it's similar to what we would have seen in a primary

All mod election chat -> TIF

Unionhawk

Overall positive but with a solid handful of negative

dly

@Unionhawk yup, likely.

Unionhawk

At least I can still exercise small and insignificant levels of abuse in chat

Well time will tell I guess. If chat isn't blowing up I guess we'll all live
