Skooba - Stands Against AI

How has your work load been since then? Has it been difficult with only 3 moderators and you need help, or is it just because the general threshold for moderators is 4?

@AJ (or other moderators) -- Not that it would effect my nomination decision, answers, or moderation philosophy... why are we having an election? Is it solely because Napoleon Wilson stepped down?

@AJ Thanks for the heads up! I have added the answer.

I will try to lurk in here if anyone has question regarding my nomination. Feel free to ping me as well. Cheers!

@Slartibartfast Congratulations to our winner and runner up this year! Looking forward to another great year on SFF.

ah forget about the Meta bot...

Congratulations @Andrew!

@Donald.McLean Yeah I'd say this past year was probably very exciting for you with JWST launch and the surrounding buzz!

@DavidW I am waiting for my wife to drop that line.

@TheLethalCarrot yes that was the first pic. We got him groomed this week

@TheLethalCarrot totally am. Look out for me on that subreddit.

@DavidW golden doodle (golden retriever mixed with poodle)

@TheLethalCarrot 3 months. wife and kids are over the moon. I like the little fluff ball but am trying to remain pragmatic on his training and such.

I see a floof tag, so I assume we are still doing those...

@SillybutTrue Congratulations on being the Best New User of 2021!

@SQB I never even thought if their scope was limited to not include live local stations. There don't seem to be any question about, but it is definitely "TV"...

i dont think ive ever actually used a dagger

in things i write ill go to triple stars, then after that i just use footnote style numbering

dont we just go to double stars, double daggers

forget about that

i did now lol

@xkcd at this rate 2022 will have a marker as well, if not every year

@CerealBot I'd take the gold everyday of the week!

the trend has been negative year over year. this isn't a "right now" problem. you have people who want to see the site saved but you seem to be content on being the king of ashes and die on the hill rather than even think about reversing an unpopuldecsion. it is clear to me that nothing will ever get through to you, so i am going to disengage here, but you can be damn sure i will continue" to whine in the comments"

at the cost of the actually having a healthy and viable site

@NapoleonWilson possibly but once the ban went into effect there seems to be no amount of discussion that will change the decision.

3 answers of at least 27 on the posts discussing the issue. yes seems overwhelming support to me! /s

and even if i was in the minority that wanted them gone at some point, i am willing to admit that the community doesn't and i can respect that.

sure, discussions that were against the referendum. There are very few if any answers in those discussion posts that were supporting the ban.

@NapoleonWilson "we are discontinuing support for ID questions" certainly seems like a referendum. even more so when any discussion wanting to bring them back gets shot down. I think it very clear that a small minority of user, and in particular the moderation team, wanted them gone and made it so.

@ElectionBot How many users have voted so far?

@SamuelLiew haha yes, but the bot had message that called you sponsors "a quick message from my sponsors", so I asked who were the sponsors, which it was mum on.

@SamuelLiew you'll be glad to know he didnt confess who the creators were when asked.

@ElectionBot ah the botfather has arrived :)

mhmmm, time to prepare the air lock

@ElectionBot who are your sponsors?

@Namaskaram I guess my programming didn't catch that!

FGITW wins the election too, just like getting upvotes on an HNQ right?

i guess teenages deserve targeted music too?

or care about smoking in the boys room

Like why is some rocker probably in 20s or 30s already talking about school being out for summer

80s rock talking about school seems weird to me in my old age now.

i was going more Rob Schneider

"ewe can dew it"

just as long as he is not caught in some time wrap where he is 2023 already, or not referring to "a year from today

and my [stomp, stomp, stomp] biological clock is ticking!

I'm just looking for a wayward golf ball.

@Randal'Thor What are trying say?
