Now that it has come to light that a candidate was overlooked for this election, you should really lock this thread (or delete it), begin a proper nomination thread for potential candidates with a cut-off date a few weeks into the future so that everyone has an equitable opportunity to be acknowledged.
So we should wait a few weeks for a potential next (active) global moderator to respond to a PM?
Sure. I don't believe the situation is so dire that we can't take the time to do it properly.
The point is, when searching someone who can in the best case be active on a daily basis handling reports on global level,
candidates that aren't abled to respond to a PM in a weeks time kinda already fall out of the pool by that.
Would this[1] count as electioneering or is it still considered an "informative" post?
