2016 Network Engineering Moderator Election

Also too, as a prospective moderator, how can you expect the community to have a chance to participate when you jump on and answer questions almost immediately? Yes, there is a reason multiple answers can be posted and voted on, but again that's not happening.

well, handling criticism calmly has been a good start :)

I have a feeling the "hostility" that @sdaffa23fdsf is referring to is the fact that, a new user asks a question, and that question is immediately marked closed for whatever reason. That negative response is now the only experience they've had on this site, why would they want to stay?

You've answered almost 900, but asked exactly zero

Agree with Jordan. NESE got really boring when the same 2-3 people answered basically every question almost immediately after it was asked. Now that one of those people is pushing to be a moderator, I can't help but find it amusing that that person will now have the ability to continue to close questions with even less impunity than before (without relying on a community vote).

I feel like the community should come first, previous moderators in many cases give newer poster's the benefit of the doubt and suggest a way to reword their question to fit into our rules/guidelines, something I have not seen from you often.

And lastly, I truly do understand that getting people to participate in growing the community, not only in size but in maturity is difficult (participating in Meta, etc.), but let's face facts, moderators are the faces/leaders of this community, how can someone who wants to become a moderator only sit there and say "make a suggestion" without doing so himself, lead by example.

Welcome all! This room is intended as a place to converse with candidates, discuss moderator traits, etc.
