Ok, gotcha. Not the city mayor, but rather the ones on Foursquare (4SQ) who are deemed the controller of a location. It's a goal that has driven many to obscene overposting and manic check-ins. Possibly split a couple in two, isolated the accused poster from friends and loved ones, maybe some tension at work. I'm not sure...
But just incase you were wondering how one becomes "mayor" of a spot-cale on 4SQ, here's their definition, stipulations, and other mayor-itions:
A mayor in foursquare is the user with the most number of *days* with check-ins at a specific place within the past 60 days. Only one check-in per day counts towards your mayorship tally. If you have a lot of check-ins that seem fake or consistently far away from where you are checking in, these check-ins will not count towards the mayorship total. Lots of businesses are now offering specials for the mayor of venues, so be sure to keep a look out for specials nearby when you're looking at the places tab in the app.
Hint: Only users with a photo uploaded to their account (no faceless mayors!) will be eligible, so you should upload a photo from your settings page.
If you're checking in off the grid, click here. If you're checking in via mobile web, click here.
There is a similar function of Yelp where you can become the duke of a location, and king of a city. It's epically difficult to get to that high up. But check it out on Yelp.
