Eh that's SOP for SE staff that don't actually have a need for moderation tho. IIRC, the sales and other internal staff don't have diamonds despite still answering stuff in an official capacity on meta

Which is kinda bewildering. I can kinda understand the CEO himself not thinking to fill out his user profile since he's entirely a business-y kinda guy, but still, shouldn't there have been someone that went "hey wait..."?

@scohe001 Well, I don't know. Maybe I'm just tired and should go to sleep (well, I should have been to sleep an hour ago, so that's probably a good idea)
