cool, we're having elections

yeah, finally :D

In case you did not noticed it yet, I shamelessly nominated my self to become moderator.

Question for @GraceNote and/or @Emrakul... what sort of time commitment is generally "expected" or "normal" for moderators?

I would have loved to run for the election but I won't have enought time next year to moderate !

Good luck every body !

Here are the top editors in 2016 (so far ;) )

hello everyone ^_^

hey! c:

Didn't know you were 17 :)

That does not matter :p

Yes, obviously.

Age is just a number for being a moderator, right?

@Alconja There's no strict requirement, as in you won't get booted out for inactivity unless you, say, stop visting the site / handling flags for several weeks without previous notice. You should be able to check in at least one or two times a day, though, to check the flag queue / meta / chat / etc. (again, that's not a hard rule or anything, just a guideline off the top of my head).

@ABcDexter I'm 15 right now and was 13 when I was appointed on PPCG, and I know we've had several other moderators of similar ages elsewhere on the network. So yes, I would say it is :)

@Doorknob that's amazing :D

@Emrakul Great. Where? (Where is the list of current nominees ?)

@BmyGuest Over at puzzling.stackexchange.com/election

Ah! Thanks Deusovi. (Should the META link not have a more proiminant link to that list? I totally missed that information...)

Yeah, probably - I got the link from the main site. Wouldn't have found it otherwise.

Ah, another information which would be useful (and can propably be researched, but I think it should be prominently stated): How many moderators are there to be per site?

@Doorknob Just to clarify on this, it's several months

@BmyGuest: On the side of the election page, it says 3.

Something interesting would be to have mods from different timezones so there is always one mod awake to handle urgent problem

@Lordofdark What problem do you see being so urgent that it couldn't wait a few hours until a mod wakes up?

@Lordofdark I second that :D

Put myself forward, personally I think that Emrakul, Deusovi, and GentlePurpleRain should all be moderators and they have my vote, but hopefully I'll get some votes too. Worth a shot

@Lordofdark commented about different time zones, I'm in England so I'd be active when the American users aren't
