It's not an acceptance, it's a manually opt-in and manually opt-out situation. This is not something that we, as mods of WordPress Stackexchange, control but is the same election process on all Stackexchange websites controlled by SE employees. You may always propose a change to the election process on Meta Stackexchange. | |

I feel like there is a confusion between nominated/elected status. I think of nomination as a suggestion or proposal, a way of saying: how about this person for moderator? It does not mean they will be a moderator. | |

They would still have to go through the primary and election phases. So if someone is nominated and they don't accept the nomination then it should end there, right? Because if they opt-out of the nomination they wouldn't be bumped to the next phase and made moderators without their knowledge. | |
