Jul 9, 2016 at 8:25 comment added user105 @John Our ideal scenario is having moderators that the community elects, versus those that we appoint based on likely merit. Pro-tem mods see the site through until it graduates, and then we have an election. It's very common for the pro-tem mods to run in the first election and win. We can't have an election early on, because the size of the community is just too small to sustain one.
Jul 9, 2016 at 1:30 comment added John Militer Why exactly is it that pro tem moderators are only temporarily moderators and can't remain moderators after the elections if they've been active?

Oct 25, 2013 at 15:27 comment added user34 @Baarn Okay and Congratulations!!!!!!
Oct 25, 2013 at 14:37 comment added Joanne C Mod Thanks all, I hope we can all live up to your expectations. Please remember, as well, that our chat room is a great way to reach out to us if you need assistance on the site and all of us hang out there from time to time anyways.
Oct 25, 2013 at 14:12 comment added Ankit Sharma @JoshDM nice analysis.
Oct 25, 2013 at 14:05 comment added JoshDM @PreciousTijesunimi - if you're curious to observe factors that would IMHO make a good "evaluation-selected" moderator, go look at Baarn's activity log on his meta and main accounts for this site. His responses / comments are thorough, even-tempered, and show core experience with the system. His participation is consistent, but not obsessive. The only drawback I can find are occasional minor issues with grammar and spelling, but that's understandable and can be corrected. And from a network standpoint, he's well distributed across several sites and has been around for at least 2 years.
Oct 25, 2013 at 13:02 comment added Monica Cellio Yay! Excellent choices. Congrats!
Oct 25, 2013 at 9:56 comment added Baarn Mod @PreciousTijesunimi the Community Managers have asked us (and probably others) directly by email if we would like to volunteer. In the meta discussion you linked to, Ashley Nunn and John Cavan actually did volunteer (highest voted answers). While I considered nominating myself I didn't as I have no previous experience as a moderator on the StackExchange network. As mentioned before the results of that discussion on meta are not binding to the Community Managers and they ultimately decide who they see fit as pro tempore mods, based on several factors I can only speculate about.

Oct 25, 2013 at 7:19 comment added user34 Sorry to disturb but I thought you said volunteered their time. I didn't see 1 of them volunteering in Who do we want as moderators?. or does volunteering have another meaning.
