SE Rep - can you share with us the criteria for selection of Alpha testers

[Mjollnir]

I'm sure a lot of you have been around on these forums for a while and will recall that a thread can be disappeared by a moderator until they have had a chance to review it in full or pass it further up the chain of command. There's a chance that the thread will reappear at some point soon with an official response.

Just saying, it's happened before that way.

edit:
Was gonna say "CALLED IT!", but I see thar my post time was six mins after Qeep's, so now I just look like a twat. Oh well.
