As a person who has been a user of StackOverflow for years and still unaware of what these "Community Elected Moderators" are, can someone explain what's the role of these guys exactly?
- MauranKilom 7y agoTheir job is to stay on top of the usual exceptional behavior you will find on the internet: Spam, vandalism, rudeness/harassment, vote manipulation, sockpuppetry, user bans, ban disputes and so on. Contrary to popular belief, moderators have no special impact on questions getting closed (or downvoted) - that's handled by the "normal" users.
