Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

We'd like to add another moderator -- who?
Several months ago we asked for temporary moderators for this community and two people stepped up. One of them later had to step back, leaving Alexei as a sole moderator. Alexei is doing a great job, but we think things run smoothly when there are at least two moderators -- it gives mods someone to consult with, and it allows a mod with any appearance of conflict of interest to defer to the other. We never meant to place all of the responsibility for moderating a community on one person.
Are you interested in being a moderator here? Would you like to nominate someone else? Please use answers here, one answer per candidate, to nominate yourself or others.
What do moderators do? On Codidact they:
-
handle flags (there aren't a lot of these at the moment, but there are some)
-
have all the tools -- close/reopen, delete/undelete, locks, user warnings/suspensions when needed (rare we hope), create help topics, and more
-
act as representatives of the community when requesting changes from the Codidact team (for example, to let us know about a meta consensus for a change that requires admin access)
-
help the community work out its direction, policies, needs, etc on meta -- anybody can and should start these discussions, of course, but we hope that moderators will be active participants

I'd like to nominate @hkotsubo, a high rep user of the site. Judging from the looks of the stats, he has a substantial amount of flags (13 as of the writing of this question), very well-received posts, and he's quite active in the site.
