Stack ExchangeAcademicContent moderationEngagementKnowledge sharingQ&ASocial graph The content of moderators.stackexchange.com (https://moderators.stackexchange.com/), a Stack Exchange question-and-answer site, as published in the Stack Exchange Data Dump of April 2024 on the Internet Archive. The posts table holds 3,870 rows: 1,992 posts (582 questions, 1,296 answers, 55 tag wiki excerpts, 55 tag wikis, 1 post of type 6 and 3 posts of type 7) and 1,878 comments, written between 29 July 2014 and 31 March 2024. Beside it are 7,184 user accounts, 16,555 votes, 9,343 badges awarded, 74 tags, 5,471 post revisions and 135 links between posts. Every answer keeps the question it answers and every comment the post it was written on, so the threads can be rebuilt. The Internet Archive item describes the dump as anonymised; the votes table names the voter in only 10 rows.
