I would to see Lord_Farin as moderator.

Hi

how many votes does someone have in the election ?

Hi!

I'm not sure what you mean, voting hasn't started yet.

for how many canditates are you allowed to vote once the elction has started

@DominicMichaelis One vote, but you can state your preference for up to three candidates (STV system)

@DominicMichaelis Oh I see, sorry! Yeah, it's what Mad-scientist said.

With respect to the STV system, this meta.SO post gives a nice outline of the method.

Good to see $11$ candidates now. Hope there will be couple more in the next couple of days!

the more candidates the more gonna lose :/

But, hopefully, the higher the quality of the elected moderators!

@TomOldfield Yes, therefore I'm thinking to nominate myself.

@GitGud Are you nomimating yourself Git Gud ?

@90intuition No way.

@GitGud Why not ?

You have even more rep than me !

@90intuition If you think you'd do a good job, then by all means nominate yourself. However, you may find that your low rep counts against you. For example, see this meta thread: meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/9507/…

I nominated myself

@90intuition In my opinion a moderator must know a lot of maths. A mod needs to be able to understand poorly posed questions on a vast, vast range of topics, needs to know enough maths to deal with wether or not to migrate certain questions which might be borderline mathematics/other subject, etc.

And I don't know nearly enough maths for that. Plus the community has a special hate for me because I'm so funny ^_^

And I wouldn't be impartial, to be honest. (Not that that would be bad, but people seem to want impartiality in a mod).

@GitGud What do you mean ?? :P Are you a guy that makes those bad jokes all the time ?

@90intuition More like misunderstood jokes ^_^ These people might know more math than me, but I kick their ass at humor:P

@GitGud hahaha i like you already

You need to take me out for a meal before you get my vote.

@GitGud Where are u from ? I know some good restaurants in Amsterdam

@90intuition I'm not from Amsterdam. Not even Holland. I am from Europe, though.

I'm off the chat. See you.

@J.M. Thank you for stating my view in this thread.

@Kasper Thank you for your support! (I've been getting that a lot; I'm certainly not dismissing a moderator position in the future at this point. Who knows?)

I would make a good mod but only on certain topics :)

@DominicMichaelis Awesome! Man, I'm going to have to think about these votes now... :)

@mick I would make a very good mod on all topics, but I'm to have low rep.. according to this Tom Oldfield... I'm crying...

@90intuition with respect but that sounds unlikely

however , I have an open bounty that could increase your rep :)

@Lord_Farin But I don't know if I really have a chance at all

anyway you have 450 rep in 4 months , and I have 1266 in 8 months. @90intuition

@90intuition

@mick I must admit that I also cry about my first meta post to be such a disaster. I felt my elections chances flying by.

if you solve my bounty question you will have 500 :) @90intuition

anyone who can prove the generalized riemann hypothese can be mod :-)

@DominicMichaelis Are you joking ?

@Kasper Why should I be joking?

@DominicMichaelis why nominate yourself if you have no chance ?

with a miracle and some infinitesimal luck you will succeed :)

@DominicMichaelis Just looking at reputation/helpfull flags/meta. I think you have a really good chance.

Oh that is nice to hear :)

@DominicMichaelis you have almost 11111 rep in 2 months ! not everyone can say that.

i only have 1266 in 8 months

besides i have an open bounty if you need more rep

:)

@Dominic I've seen it said that only once have moderators not been elected in order of reputation, so I wouldn't be too worried if I were you!

@PeterTamaroff HRU ? are you a candidate ? Care for a bounty question ?

@mick I wanted to get into Mathematics, hehe.

@90intuition That is silly.

To be the boss of mathematicians you need to be boss in logic, come on Peter !

@90intuition read it yourself answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070908044301AAsKlRv

@90intuition Well, no, you're not the "boss" of "mathematicians", you're a moderator.

@PeterTamaroff You will get a diamond ! At THE math website of the internet. What can you deduce from this ?

@90intuition it is the same like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hardest_Logic_Puzzle_Ever

@90intuition Sorry, but this election is about as serious as this site gets. If you want to joke around, try the main chat; if you don't understand the significance of this election, please read up.

@90intuition From what?

@Lord_Farin I already heard Git Gud saying you guys don't have sense of humour here.

@90intuition as a David Bowie fan, i respect that.

@90intuition I reserve my sense of humour for the general chat. People there will probably testify that it is non-void.

@90intuition I answered in the comment !!

This is just not the appropriate place.

@90intuition And you trust GitGud?

Yes, total submission.

@mick Wrong answer.

@PeterTamaroff I searched for jokes of Git Gud, but I couldn't find any. Or are the jokes the deleted messages ?

@90intuition If you want to chit chat, use the room called "Mathematics".
