Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I am going to somewhere special

user202362

But the assumption is that the place you go after death, you wouldn't be crying ...

user315433

Okay... I'm back on Mathematics, for the (N+1)-th time.

Hmm. I can't say for sure that I've never listened to "last Christmas" before, but it doesn't sound familiar.

@zaq kinda feel like that moved on from stalking to straight up abuse.

lurking mods ...

user315433

5:39 PM

Русский язык will finally have mod election (of the still-in-beta kind). No more modlessness... the site was imported in April 2015.

user315433

Actually, it looks more like pro-tem mod appointment, but tagged "election". Confused.

PythonMaster

It's still in beta so the elected moderators (chosen by SE employees, decisions affected by community) are only pro tempore

@zaq

user315433

This stuff is not so clear cut anymore; some sites had elections while in beta. You are probably right, but the way the post talked about electing moderators made me think otherwise. Asked the CM to clarify.

user315433

For me, it's the matter of whether I need to get 150 rep soon...

PythonMaster

You will lots more rep than that if the site is at least a year old. I had the most rep at Language Learning SE (during private beta and a little during public) and had the answer with the highest score for the moderator election and still lost. I wasn't even considered for backup!

And activity on main and meta with tons of moderation work like editing, flagging, closing, and reviewing

Connecting with users in chat is also critical, one of my very weak points

user315433

5:51 PM

I like voting, not running. No intention of ever running for a mod.

PythonMaster

Oh... oops

I though the 150 rep was to qualify for moderator... :(

If you don't have enough rep to answer protected questions, the protection notice moves to the bottom, replacing the answer box.

I don't know if I really benefit from protected notices. If I have enough rep to answer protected question, but not enough to protect or unprotect, what am I to do with this information?

6:16 PM

This is fine:

user315433

6:56 PM

CM explained that it's a hybrid election, determined by the votes on meta. (But the votes will be relevant only if there are more candidates than vacancies).

user315433

Given the history of the site, I don't expect a lot of volunteers to show up on meta.

user315433

But if they do, we can seriously skew the election with the association bonus. :)

rene

7:14 PM

Any voting advice ;)

user315433

Not yet... CM said he wants 2-3 mods, and there is 1 candidate so far.

rene

7:25 PM

So in theory if we nominate a couple of users from this room and vote on them we can run an SE site in the Tavern style ...

No idea what style that would be, but I like experiments with an uncertain outcome

@Shog9 Hi, you there?

user315433

Looking back, it's remarkable that George Michael's Outside music video (slightly nsfw) got an insane amount of airplay in Russia in the 90s (back when I still lived there). The prevailing conservative stance on homosexuality didn't seem to have any effect on it. Somehow in parallel to Wham! breaking the Chinese entertainment wall in the 80s. Good times.

bjb568

@zaq The problem is there aren't really many classes to take next year, it'll probably be boring.

Benefits of another year in terms of extracurriculars also hinge on there being other techy people around here, which there really aren't that many of.
