Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!
Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.
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.
