I'd like to help moderate here on Puzzling (though we already have a lot of excellent candidates and I know it will be a tough choice!)
I'm a moderator pro tempore on ELL, so I know my way around the mod tools and what it takes to help build a community from the early stages of beta. It is important to help guide the community, but also to listen to it: if the community comes to a consensus on meta, a moderator's job is to enforce that policy (whether or not they personally agree with it).
I'm also a very responsive moderator. I actively monitor meta and comment replies, and do my best to guide users in all situations where there's confusion. If there is disagreement with one of my actions, I'm more than happy to discuss it on meta (and reverse it if the community deems it appropriate). If anyone ever has a question about a stance I've taken or a decision I've made, I more than welcome discussion of it. I think I have a fair and open-minded approach to moderation, and I'd love to help the community make Puzzling one of the best SE sites around! :)
The fact is, I'm having a ton of fun on Puzzling so far. I've got a ton of activity on meta (and I've been reading every meta post) so I think I've got a good idea of where the community is right now. There are definitely some scope concerns to solve as we grow, but that's part of the process and I'd love to help guide it. We're posting a lot of interesting questions that really make me think (and we've had some fun in chat!)
I know my reputation level isn't very high yet, but I've been very active. I've read every question that's been posted to the site so far, trying to process exactly where we're at and where we want to go. A lot of our questions are self-answered "chestnuts" right now, which is something we've been talking about on meta. I think once we iron out that issue and open up to a broader audience, I'll find more unanswered questions to answer. In the meantime I'm having a lot of fun reading other questions and answers and participating in meta discussions. I think Puzzling has huge potential to be an amazing site, and I'd love the opportunity to help get us there!
