Thank you to everyone who participated, particularly the candidates! Virtual coffee is on me!

The full transcript to the Town Hall Chat can be found here.

Despite being in timezones all over, all 7 candidates were able to attend!

Whether you were able to attend or are just reading the transcript now, I hope this helps get to know the candidates before you vote. (:

The following questions were asked (click to be taken directly to that point in the transcript):

• How much time per day do the candidates think they'll spend modding?

• How would people deal with the frequent spam posts?

• What is your opinion on the alpha feature allowing anyone to edit? (feature description)

• How would you avoid burnout, and help identify it so we can avoid it in fellow mods?

• How will you handle having a vote that is binding?

• What do we do with off-topic questions that have an accepted/up-voted answer and close votes?

• Should a question be migrated even when the destination site has many duplicates already?

• What ideas do you have to attract professional users of the site, and increase the quality of posts?

• How do you think your question-answering abilities and time will be affected by being a mod?

• How will you handle questions raised about your actions? Would you be willing to reverse an action?

• How would you handle a question that a moderator closed that you feel should not have been?

• If you wanted to "take a break" or even quit, what do you think would be the correct procedure?

• What is something you think the SF community can do better as it grows?
