How does the voting again work?

Can I vote for maximally 4 candidates?--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 18:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

We use a system known as Single transferable vote, in which you rank the candidates in order of preference, or not at all. RationalWiki:Moderator elections/Results/Archive4 has a good example of how it works in effect.- "Paravant" at RationalWiki talk:Moderator elections

One wo/man, one vote? I find that explanation, TBH, hard to understand ;(--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 21:37, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but your vote may wind up transferred here there etc. to your second/third/so on choices if your first has more than enough votes to get elected/too few to not be eliminated as last place. WalkerWalkerWalker 21:42, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Cue Viharo complaining (here correctly) of Arrow's impossibility. WalkerWalkerWalker 21:44, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Kurwa mac, this is SO complicated, but I think, I get it.

So if my vote is 1) candidate FOO and 2) candidate BAR and candidate FOO would get elected even without without my vote, then my vote goes to candidate BAR, right?--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 21:47, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

What kind of whore did you just call me? WalkerWalkerWalker 21:50, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

I didn't, it's just how the Polish say "fuck".--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 21:51, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Eligibility to vote

Checking my history, I believe I am eligible to vote. It appears I joined on August 13. Certainly if one considers a month to equal 4 weeks, I am.---Mona- (talk) 17:19, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

You forgot the other eligibility criterion of not having the word "Mona" in the username. I don't see, why not.--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 17:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, you'll be good as of polling time either way; just remember to stick your name on the registration page if you haven't already. WalkerWalkerWalker 18:01, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I haven't. Could you kindly link a user who has a helluva time finding non-article pages where that is?---Mona- (talk) 18:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

You can do that here.--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 18:14, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Done. Thanks.---Mona- (talk) 19:24, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Welcome among the gods, but don't hold your breath about seeing that change reflected on your user right management console (the Mediawiki this wiki running on is old and buggy).--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ ∈)☼(∋ 19:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

That voter registration page is for RMF board elections only & nothing to do with moderator elections. ωεαşεζøίɗ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 20:23, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
