Will I become a Moderator before September 2026 (Eastern Time)?
I will look at the Manifold GitHub Blame page to identify the exact minute I become a Moderator if I become one. I will also cross-check the trade ledger of the /Quroe/unspecified-stock-market-variable to identify the price of it at the exact minute that happens.
Note that I will perform the necessary time zone conversion on the Blame page to convert it to ET. Timestamps will be checked down to a minute of granularity on both the Blame page and the USMV. If the price of the USMV changes during the minute I become a Moderator, the last price identified during that minute in the trade ledger will count.
@Eternal A Discord conversation brought it to the surface recently. Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games
I have been mulling the idea and chatting with people with the power to tip the scales on this topic over the past year or so. To me, it seemed like the winds blew in favor of Mod-ifying me.
I am perfectly happy being a normal user. In fact, I do enjoy being more of a "helper T cell" instead of a "white blood cell" in Manifold's immune system. But, if the powers that be determine there is more utility in my being a Mod, here is the gateway to make the decision!
