When examining the "candidate score", please consider the explanation of it here:

@fredsbend I understand why the user flag stats were removed from the public eye since they caused constant consternation and achieved nothing, but electing moderators is the one time I think those numbers should be public. It bugs me that the nomination stats don't show this.

I agree with you @fredsbend meta history is probably the single best way to judge a candidate, but flag history also show you their interest in janitorial work and ability to judge the state of a situation and what needs intervention.

@fredsbend I thought about emphasizing my Latin.SE mod-ship, but the two sites are quite different, and the moderator tools that I've learned to use so far (by no means all of them) are pretty straight forward. So while it might "sound good," I'm not sure that it's that helpful for voters to make a decision.

@Nathaniel I kind of agree. Anybody that can wrap their minds around the site and the user base and scope issues can learn the moderator toolkit. That part is easy by comparison.

@Nathaniel I think being trusted on one community is a strong indication that you can be trusted on another.

Enough involvement to have a rough handle on Biblical Hermeneutics and the contrast in approaches to scope could be useful. Not a lot of questions are up for migration but it is handy to know when one might actually be a good candidate as there are often misinformed flags in this area.
