Congrats to all the MSE mods, who all made it onto the Council. It would appear your peers quite like you. :)

Tinkeringbell

Thank you! :)

@Tinkeringbell Congrats! Now I want a blinding flashlight like a siren changing colors between the main color for the asker if their question is closed as a duplicate

Preferably with the sound as well. Pls implamant. kthx

why only duplicate

you could have it flashing a different color for every close reason

M.A.R.

@ArtOfCode brown for blatantly OT

But it already seems like I have two or three votes

Starts considering it seriously

8:53 PM

So, should we expect a new symbol for the Council Members? Or at least some indicator in the profile like staff have?

Doubt it.

hope not

They're not super-moderators or anything.

Doesn't seem necessary

@Undo poke, there's an FYI in TL for you

8:54 PM

Well in case people should reach out to them, they should know who to reach out to.

@ArtOfCode can't you super ping in TL? ;)

not anymore

Heh

Ya'll might find this interesting - Opavote allows downloading the ballot data, and I just took a data science course so I have a bunch of tools. Correlation matrix:

And honestly.... there isn't much of anything interesting in there

are those real names supposed to be public

public opavote data, from public meta post

so yes

Anyway, was pretty encouraged to see very small correlations there. Doesn't look like many, if any, weird little 'cliques' of mods running around.

8:58 PM

Were they supposed to be public there? That feels like an oversight.

cc @Cat

Hmm?

Are the real names supposed to be public in the voting data?

@Catija Opavote has these:

@Mithical I see the display names, no real names.

If one choose to put real name as display name, well, it's their problem. :)

All those people have their names publicly attached to other profiles around the site as far as I can tell.

@Undo the first is his username. The second was how his display name is on the Team.... I’m not sure whether he uses it on site but I’m on my phone.

@Catija Don't think there's anything urgent here.

Ah, I guess he does, then.

@Undo is that basically "people who voted for X also voted for Y"?

9:05 PM

@ArtOfCode Pretty much

Probably more formally something like "chance of voting for x given voted for y"

100% of rubiksmooses voted for rubiksmoose. Good! We've all got to stick together!

@Undo I'm amused, but not surprised, that there's a pretty strong correlation between votes for you and votes for me

Interesting to see that it confirms the instincts I had, in any case

@ArtOfCode Still only .3ish, though

Overall numbers were much lower than I expected

Isn't it bit over half the overall moderators of the network?

About

9:09 PM

How long were the elections open? Didn't read all the post in depth yet.

11 days

Maybe some were just away?

Well there are cases of mods being away for months, but not very common.

Lots of mods likely aren’t totally engaged in network stuff, focused on their sites and not much else. And that’s okay.

Even our own local parrot took about a month off... And got back stronger than ever. :D

@Catija yup, agree.

@Rubiksmoose *rubiksmeese

@Rubiksmoose You should pin a link to the mod council announcement on MSE :)

Should be at the top of the starboard

[moments later, checking phone] Okay, I agree my posting it was weird, but it's somehow even more unnerving that you immediately liked the post.

11:14 PM

@Rubiksmoose want 'em?
