| Feb 2, 2016 at 10:59 | comment | added | user Mod | I think I see where you are going with this, but I'm still not at all sure it's a good question to ask in a moderator election Q&A. As a moderator, if you are uncertain, you are supposed to take no action -- simply because any action taken carries a lot of weight. Often in practice, what this means is that if you are uncertain, you discuss the matter with other moderators (either on the site, or cast a wider net and talk to other sites' moderators) and reach agreement before taking any action. Sometimes the appropriate thing to do after such discussion remains taking no action. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 10:42 | comment | added | Nahshon paz | @Tim B, from a mods perspective, you're right. From a non-mod, voter perspective, I have little to go on, being a relative newbie on the site. I guess I can skim the public comments on each of the moderator's pages or something, but to get a good picture, I'll need more time than what I got (and there's that thing that keeps grabbing my attention away, "real life", I think it's called). Or I could ask something like "point out your most [...] examples that are publicized"... What do you think? | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 9:52 | comment | added | Tim B Mod | To be honest I've been thinking about this question and I've removed my upvote as it's very hard to answer even for a mod. Things like mod messages are private. A lot of the comments we make we later delete once they've been acted on, etc. I really like the idea behind the question which is to look at the history of moderation actions already taken but I'm not sure it works in its current form. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 9:46 | comment | added | Tim B Mod | Keep in mind that non-moderators can still take moderator action, through flagging, comments, meta posts etc. Might be worth asking about that instead? | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 9:28 | comment | added | Nahshon paz | Kudos @Tim B. Added "other than yourself" for both mods and non-mods. | |

per TimB's request for broadening

| Feb 2, 2016 at 8:54 | comment | added | Tim B Mod | This is a good question, but you should broaden it slightly to make it clear how all the non-moderators can answer. | |
