2020 Parenting Moderator Election Chat

@SomeShinyObject - I think we have chatted about parenting "successes" and "failures" before. I am in your camp; more than a full decade after my children have reached adulthood (I'm defining this as finishing university), I still wonder about some of the things I've done as a parent. :-/

Regardless of @SomeShinyObject's touching and honest response, I can tell you that all three individuals here would make excellent moderators, not because they're good parents (I don't have a lot of info on that), but because over the years, they have been kind and helpful in their comments to users, are respectful of others (as seen in chat and comments), and have a lot of common sense as shown in their answers over the years.

@EngrStudent I think learning who the candidate is as a person and parent is interesting. It can say something about how they may approach moderation with a diamond. But ultimately, the qualities of a good moderator are different from what makes a good (in the sense of posting upvote-worthy content) user.

If you have questions about the election process itself, please ask your question on the Parenting Meta Site. Remember, folks stepping up to lead this community are committing a significant amount of their time, please keep all discourse civil and constructive.

Welcome all! This room is intended as a place to converse with candidates, discuss moderator traits, etc. For general discussion related to Parenting, go here: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/388/the-playground
