Discussion on things to take note of in an emergency-like single-moderator situation

Question

Due to my retirement that will happen soon, PO will have only one moderator for a few weeks in the near future.

This thread is meant to discuss anything of importance with respect to this upcoming special situation, as needed.

Answer 1

As mentioned already here, this message probably points to dilaton feeling uneasy about there being no-one who could check dimension10 in case he hides something during this period. I think the danger is small now but perhaps you, @dimension10, could say something reassuring to everyone.

Comments

I could make a list of all content I hide, right here on this page,  besides completely uncontroversial things (spam,  complete, complete gibberish,  illegal things). I already promised Dilation to send him a list of such posts,  but this might be a better solution.

Yes, it is better to have it public.

• As noted on the election thread, any nominations before 1230 GMT will be temorarily deleted - thus I've temporarily hidden 3 of my own nominations, and will reshow them after 1800.
