There is an ongoing moderation strike across the stack exchange network. This has resulted in noticeable cut down on curating activities and a rise in pending flags.
Apparently, there seems to be no compromises from the company's end to the demands of the striking parties so I was thinking about what could the SE management do in an attempt to counter the dwindling moderation activities as a temporary measure:
One viable option is to conduct an urgent moderator elections with reduced nomination requirements ahead of the annual elections period paving the way for users who always wanted to hold the title of moderator but could not meet the requirements of nomination with their current progress.
Is this something SE management would seriously consider and theoretically could this work in their favor?
