We'd like to add another moderator -- who?
Several months ago we [asked for temporary moderators for this community](https://software.codidact.com/posts/278470) 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
