| Oct 1, 2013 at 6:03 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | Noah's suggestion is of course very good. I'm going to be essentially off-line for two days, but after that if nominations haven't started coming in I'll create such a thread. | |
| Oct 1, 2013 at 4:37 | comment | added | Noah Snyder | It'd be easy enough to start a thread where people could nominate candidates who could then choose whether or not to run (i.e. SE-nominate-themselves). | |
| Oct 1, 2013 at 4:28 | comment | added | user642796 | @ScottMorrison: You might be right as it regards smaller sites like MO. But for the larger sites it might cause more probloems: StackOverflow saw 27 (self-)nominees for their last election, and the number likely would have been much higher if users could just nominate others. On the other hand, I don't think there is anything preventing MO from opening a "Who would you like to see run?" meta-thread. | |
| Oct 1, 2013 at 3:55 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | But we had plenty of nominations rejected by the nominee previously, and it seemed a perfectly healthy process. I'm not sure why we want to avoid it. | |
| Oct 1, 2013 at 3:40 | comment | added | user642796 | I am sure that it is in part to ensure that no nominations are rejected by the nominee. Perhaps "nominate" is a poor choice, but it part of the SE nomenclature. Think of it instead as stepping forward and announcing that you are willing to take on the additional responsibilities associated with moderation. | |
| Oct 1, 2013 at 3:34 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | I'll note that last time (when we ran the election less formally ourselves) essentially all nominations were for other people, who could then accept or decline. <tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/426> | |
