Good to see some strong contenders there, going to be difficult to even pick a first choice. I was tempted to self-nominate, purely on the basis of having a cool avatar.
@Zxyrra I'll admit I was unaware of that one myself. I just proposed an edit to the tag wiki to remove the actual list of moderators, and refer to the information from the users list on the site instead. meta.worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/suggested-edits/1040
(That way, no matter what happens to the list of moderators on the site, the tag on Meta won't need a separate update.)
@TimB It seems to be levelling out a bit, though. I seem to recall that in the first election we had a large number of candidates nominating themselves early on, then it slowed down toward the end of the nomination period. As is to be expected, I think.
Of course, it seems to me like several candidates are pointing out things that don't really benefit from having a diamond attached to your name at all. In all fairness, the diamond is a double-edged sword.
@MonicaCellio Well, good thing I would count as partly senior, then!
Oh, and thanks for the nice words in the election nomination comments (and not just toward me). But you forgot to mention that the other two people with a silver discussion badge both have diamonds. ;)
@MichaelKjörling yeah, I don't think the system accounts for that, so if you win we'll have to keep polishing our own, I expect. :-)
@MichaelKjörling I left that as an exercise for the reader.
I'm glad to see that people are commenting on the nominations. If anybody has questions for particular candidates that don't really fit in a comment or that invite dialogue, please use this chat room! It's why it's here.
