January 2020 Moderator Election — Community Interest Check

Question

This community last had moderators appointed in 2013, so it's been a while... In addition to that, the moderator team has reached out requesting extra hands on deck.

Since moderators were last appointed in this community, we've started and "graduated" and experiment: and pro-tem moderators are now elected, just like "regular" moderators. As such, we're looking at scheduling an election to start somewhere in January 2020. To avoid finding ourselves in a situation where an election would fail due to an insufficient number of candidates, though, I'm posting this to try to assess the community members' willingness to step up and nominate themselves, when the actual election's nomination period starts.

Please leave an answer if you'd be willing to run for a moderator position, should we decide to run an election. Like I mentioned, we're looking at scheduling the nomination period to start some time in January '20.

NOTE: This is not an official election nomination thread, just a "pulse check" to get a notion of how many people here would be willing to step up, so you don't have to put up your whole election nomination.

UPDATE: Because of the upcoming holidays, elections are planned on February 24, 2020. This means that this post will remain open until then.

Answer 1

I would also be interested in running for moderator. I'm quite active on the site and interested in helping to keep it growing and running smoothly.

Answer 2

Yes, I would be willing to run for a moderator position on Sustainability.SE.

Although I don't have particularly high rep here, I do try to ask high quality questions and write good answers when I know something about the subject matter. I don't have prior experience being a ♦Moderator on the StackExchange network, but I've served other communities (web fora and Facebook groups) in a moderator role previously.

I believe that this site specifically (and StackExchange, more generally) is fulfilling an important mission to help provide people with quality information and a higher level of discourse in an arena that often seems to lack it. It would be an honour to play a role in the continuing development of this community.

Answer 3

Even though I've only been a member of Sustainability SE for about 1 month and just barely scraped into the 300 rep requirement, I'd like to run for moderator as well.

I'm currently a mod on Arqade so I believe I have the relevant Stack Exchange community and SE mod-tool experience.

I was quite excited when I found this site and over the past month I've been delving into some of our older questions here while also asking some of my own. Sustainable Living has been a passion of mine for years, and I'm currently in a position of being able to finally implement some of my personal long-term goals (such as solar and grey-water capture and filtration), as well as potentially submitting to (and working with) my local council on sustainability practices on a larger scale.

I'll take a moment to wish the other nominees the best of luck - it's a good crowd, I feel everyone here would make great moderators in their own right. Even if I'm not one of them, I look forward to continue to learn and grow along with this site.

Answer 4

Edit 2020-01-14: Due to yesterdays firing of two highly competent and popular community managers, I am no longer willing to take on any additional moderator roles within the Stack Exchange network.

I would run if and only if nobody better placed does.

My activity on Sustainable Living has been moderate, but I am an active moderator over at Earth Science Stack Exchange, which has some overlap with Sustainable Living.

Edit 2019-12-03: As things are standing now I would withdraw (i.e. not run) and endorse LShaver, who has been a much more active member of the Sustainable Living Stack Exchange than myself and therefore knows the community better than I do.

Edit 2019-12-13: I might run after all depending on the exact circumstances.
