But you know, someone with 3-digit reputation is clearly preferable to users who are still in the top 5 by reputation even after a year of effectively no activity on the site. | |

| Oct 20, 2020 at 13:13 | comment | added | JNat StaffMod | I see your points, @fedorqui'SOstopharming', but unfortunately the previous process (manually picking) was way too time-consuming, and not particularly effective. Furthermore, while I recognize your concern surrounding members with not a lot of participation getting the diamond: I think we can both agree that that is definitely preferable over the alternative (which is no mods at all and the site potentially facing closure), no? | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 13:05 | comment | added | fedorqui | @Catija There used to be a method (manual apointing) that had its drawbacks. Now you have another one, to hopefully improve the system on both ends: CMs and community. In this case, there was a big investment of resources (election planning, questionnaire) to end up with a (to me) flawed result because someone with no link with the site got a very powerful tool (the ♦) without any power of the community to avoid it. For this, I say that the previous system would have worked better. Good luck to you all. | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 12:55 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @fedorqui'SOstopharming' .... The other variations have been to just skip the full election entirely and have a standard beta election. No option is "CMs pick people". And if no one is willing to stand in an election, why do you think we'd have more luck getting people to say yes when a CM chases them down? | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 8:23 | comment | added | fedorqui | @AndrewT. I know. But also note that some other exceptions/variations to the process were done. | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 8:21 | comment | added | Andrew T. | @fedorqui'SOstopharming' I think SE has abandoned manual appointment. Even for new sites, the first inaugural mods will be determined with a pro-tempore election now. | |
| Oct 20, 2020 at 7:25 | comment | added | fedorqui | -1. This process was flawed. For this case, manually appointing pro tem moderators would have worked way better and would have been provided better legitimacy. | |
