In SEDE for Stack Overflow, I see that out of the 342 moderator nomination posts in the PostsWithDeleted table, none of them have a deletion date. So either disqualified candidates don't show up the way I would have guessed, or no candidate has ever been disqualified on Stack Overflow.

@TannerSwett might be asked on meta in the past - though I suspect the nomination system originally was super manual

Hi guys I saw someone on SO getting +1 rep gain

How is that possible?

downvoted post deleted?

that's to say the user downvoted a post, and that post was deleted, refunding the -1

@JourneymanGeek ah thx Sorry

@JourneymanGeek there was one who got disqualified in the very recent past, causing huge drama all over the place. So, 1) @Tanner there was at least one on SO, and 2) I'm pretty sure the nomination posts are handled in different way when deleted, maybe even redacted, so even high rep users won't be able to see them anymore. 3) Don't think we can know how many have been disqualified, and doubt staff will share such detail.

@ShadowTheKidWizard I didn't say there weren't

@JourneymanGeek talking about "super manual" system

I'm saying there may be no way at all for 'early' elections, and possibly no way for current ones, but its worth asking

@JourneymanGeek sure, never said we shouldn't ask, just chances for full reply are slim. Maybe even shady. :D

Heh chat went down for a short while :/

Would the real slim shady please stand up?

@JourneymanGeek haha! Wasn't sure you'll get that. Well done! :P

lol

I watch MTV at nights, they still put that videoclip sometimes. ;)

@TannerSwett There was this unfortunate case last year on SO: meta.stackoverflow.com/q/412472/4014959

@PM2Ring yeah that's the case I was talking about here.

Wasn't me

Those neighbors, BBQing spam all day long...

@Tinkeringbell pity :D

@MetaAndrewT. It has probably turned into charcoal by now then

So hot, it even got red-flagged by safety regulations!

Careful it won't burn the whole barn!
