Thank you for putting your trust in me!

I will get to work and figure out what all the buttons do, while trying not to touch anything before I know what it does :)

    Congratulations! Most of the buttons will warn you that you're about to do something irreversible... except for that one that you should never click... ;)

Congratulations @nvoigt!
I see that my jumping in helped accelerate this result.

To the CMs: Giving me a technical ban from the homepage of the site just for losing an election as predicted seems a little extreme: enter image description here

  • A technical ban? Really?

    Technical Ban? Care giving more details? Does the problem persist or perhaps it was your internet connection? Or perhaps a bug with election process if it persists... I see no bans on your user from your profile...

    @DarkCygnus I read that as a joke based on the screenshot, not an actual complaint about a ban.

    Maybe the "something bad happened" is the election result! They are being kind to you.

  • That election result doesn't qualify as a bad thing happening. I can easily imagine insufficiently tested edge cases where server and user-side data disagree on a user's status as moderator, such as logged-in page reloads after election, so initially I thought it might mean the opposite (like Trump 2016, where even he & many protest voters expected Clinton to win). Fortunately, the meta link worked & had this post, changing the analogy to other countries where dissidents are more frequently jailed/exiled. Also, it took longer than expected, but access to the main site was eventually restored.
