| Aug 3, 2017 at 22:01 | comment | added | Nick Cox | @amoeba The whole process depends on division of labour. Conversely, I've never got excited about tags, yet done some other things. But your work on tags is spectacular and with your reputation of 39K and overall good citizenship makes you a very strong candidate should you be persuaded to stand. | |
| Aug 3, 2017 at 11:25 | comment | added | amoeba | Glen_b and @Scortchi: Thank you. It's true that being a mod would allow me to handle the tag issues more effectively... At the same time, I am not sure I would really be such a good candidate: e.g. my participation in review queues has always been zero (ZERO!), meaning I have no experience in doing it and little interest to start, whereas I believe this is an important part of any mod's job. I even considered running for a mod on a platform of becoming a "tag mod", but honestly I am not sure if "specialization mods" would be such a good idea. | |
| Aug 2, 2017 at 8:15 | comment | added | Scortchi Mod | @amoeba: That's a shame! I'd go so far as to say that your work on tags alone qualifies you for the position (& it'd become easier if you had mod. privileges). | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 22:57 | comment | added | Glen_b Mod | @amoeba I'm very sad to hear that; I think you'd be excellent. ... And just think of the times you wouldn't need to wait on a moderator to fix some tag-synonym issue | |
| Aug 1, 2017 at 20:44 | comment | added | amoeba | @Scortchi I am not planning to participate to be honest. | |

| Jul 30, 2017 at 4:38 | comment | added | Glen_b Mod | @gung To at least partly answer the question; it was for several months clear that the moderators were at the point of needing more help -- which is only to be expected as the site has grown - we had elections in 2011, 2013 and 2015 so it's not especially surprising that we would need another sometime soon. That wasn't the only factor in the timing -- for one example, if I want to continue being able to answer questions at all, I will need to reduce my allocation of time to moderation for an extended period, as my total time on site will have to reduce (/already has, but will reduce further). | |

| Jul 29, 2017 at 12:07 | comment | added | Glen_b Mod | I wouldn't say it was sudden. | |
| Jul 29, 2017 at 12:05 | comment | added | gung - Reinstate Monica | Is there any particular reason that motivated this all of a sudden? | |
| Jul 29, 2017 at 5:23 | comment | added | Glen_b Mod | I considered it but decided against doing so; the election announcement itself will be featured soon. I mostly wanted to make sure the people that are actively interested in the site (and so check here regularly) were aware it was coming. However, if there's clear desire that it be featured I can do so. | |
