Why do we have moderators who weren't elected in 2023? That's the way Stack Exchange runs elections. Elections only select new moderators. Old moderators do not have to keep winning elections, they can choose to stay on as a moderator until they retire or the staff intervene.
This user is no longer a moderator, so he presumably retired from his position: Sathyajith Bhat.
Only two candidates were nominated in the 2023, they are grg and Blind Spots . 166 users voted.
Personally, I am glad that this election happened. It seemed to me that they weren't enough active moderators before, and this new batch of moderators hopefully will make good collective decisions. I wish there were more nominations and more new moderators, I think we all wish that. It's nobody's fault: Web Apps is a small community, and no one is obliged to nominate themselves for the responsibility of moderation. Thank you for volunteering for what can be a tough job. I say this as someone who has expressed frustrations, which the moderators have had to handle, and so I'm part of what makes the job tough. So I thank you additionally.
I wish this team the best! And I wish the Web Apps community the best!
