MAKE SUPER USER GREAT AGAIN!

Hi! I'll leave a message here for pingability - here's my nomination, by the way

A couple of questions I didn't see addressed: 1) How many moderators will be elected this cycle? 2) Will all existing moderators remain?

@fixer1234 There's only one slot. All moderators will remain except for Oliver Salzburg, who is stepping down :(

@BenN Was that public?

Yes

I think we should add one to the complement. We have two people who are exemplary candidates who I hoped would toss their hats into the ring, and both did. It wouldn't hurt to spread the moderator workload a little farther. :-)

I take the mod agreement very seriously :)

@fixer1234 Agreed, two very solid candidates. Hopefully more but either way it'll be a hard choice...

Thanks guys :)

(Assuming I'm one one of the two. That'd be pretty awkward otherwise ;p)

Lol. You are, you've always seemed a pretty reliable and generally very calm guy.

@fixer1234 you not considering throwing the hat in?

And indeed, I know for sure DavidPostill would be highly effective

Aye.

We never replaced slhck, did we? That would make two holes.

@fixer1234 He was a spectacular mod. There's only one space for now.
