| Mar 26, 2017 at 18:54 | comment | added | Vomit IT - Chunky Mess Style | @DavidPostill It was a figure of speech but you pointed out what I was doing wrong on one of my first answers (probably deleted by now) and how I should correct the incorrect action and I've seen you do a great job regardless from answers to commenting accordingly to other help and all that with what little I've seen! JourneymanGeek is still the man tho but seems like you've accomplished a lot thus far in a short period of time too...You being a mod on SU seems inevitable to me and changing up the pic was a good change at the right time I think too. | |

| Mar 24, 2017 at 16:36 | comment | added | Steve | @DavidPostill Fair point. I wouldn't expect that vacations off the grid or other temporary disappearances would be all that uncommon, but a vote that's tied awaiting that final vote would be fairly rare. | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 9:33 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @Steve True, but I expect that to be quite rare. | |
| Mar 24, 2017 at 6:09 | comment | added | Steve | About #5: An odd number of moderators doesn't prevent ties unless a decision is left undecided until all have voted, which slows consensus if anyone vacations off the grid or otherwise disappears temporarily. | |

| Mar 15, 2017 at 0:11 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | @ArtOfCode he's been a RO for a while. By room culture - we do things like "Openly handling problems when they happen", and we've done a decent job at maintaining a *positive *room culture. Other than more heavyweight tools I think he's already well versed in the ways of handling chat moderation. | |

| Mar 14, 2017 at 17:37 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @ArtOfCode Thanks for the advice. Of course that is totally against Be Nice so it's clear to me. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 17:25 | comment | added | ArtOfCode | The one comment I'd make about this is your point about taking into account a chatroom's culture. That's fine to a point, but "room culture" is about "we prefer to stay on-topic for the site where possible" or "we don't like talking about religion here"; it's absolutely not about "we make rape jokes and you can't stop us". Just one to be wary of while you're learning the ropes. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 13:07 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @Burgi Fortunately there will still be 9 SU mods. So I would open the discussion to the rest of the team and let the majority decide :) | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 12:45 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | @Burgi I believe that should discussion and negotiations fail we then fall back to pistols at dawn. Of course what with timezones and geographical problems this has never been particularly productive. | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 12:40 | comment | added | Burgi | @DavidPostill can you elaborate on point 5, what if those discussion don't work? | |
| Mar 14, 2017 at 12:10 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | Additional to the "OP never accepts an answer" comment, in a lot of cases OP posts a question using an unregistered account, changes computer or clears their browser history and never even sees an "accept" button to know that they could do it. Case in point: superuser.com/questions/1188512/… | |

| Mar 13, 2017 at 23:54 | comment | added | Chindraba | Good point about the "unanswered" questions. Often the OP never accepts an answer, and the subject is narrow enough that there's no interest, and no votes, even though the question is answered. "No answers" is a better measuring stick, I think. | |
