@HelkaHomba The current mods are doing an excellent job at running the community. I am running because I love the kind, helpful community here on PPCG, and I want to see that grow, especially now that we're graduating, we'll most probably receiving a significant influx of new users. New users are essential to this growth, and I believe we should do everything we can to keep them hooked.
In order to maintain the quality of our site we have many rules set in place and you can't blame new users for not understanding them as they are buried away in the help center. While completely off-topic questions should obviously be nuked.
Many new users are trying to contribute, but having your challenge downvoted, nuked, and left in the dust isn't helping. (I would add links more but I'm out of space)
As a mod, and good community members, we should be welcoming new users trying to contribute. Their challenges may not meet our Q/C standards but that's where we come in. As a community we should put an effort to providing new users with the resources and help to understand our site rules, improve, fix, and understand our community. Stack Exchange isn't a forum so meeting our high standards maybe eluding to some. We should strive to let everyone trying to contribute, contribute.
