Code Review is in need of a new moderator

Question

I know that we are a beta site, but from the looks of it, they only choose moderator pro-tems 2 weeks into a beta site. I think we need to follow the path set forth for nomination of a new moderator, if nothing else to show that we are a growing site and have enough active users to become a full SE Site.

This post was inspired by this post: Winston Ewert is no longer a moderator?

So let's nominate some moderators

Moderators should be members who:

• Have a reasonably high reputation score to indicate active, consistent participation.
• Show an interest in their meta’s community-building activities.
• Lead by example, showing patience and respect for their fellow community members in everything they write.
• Exhibit those intangible traits discussed in A Theory of Moderation.

Bonus points for:

• Members with participation in both meta and the parent site (i.e. interest in both community building and expertise in the field).
• Area 51 participation, social network referrals, or blogging about the site.
• Members who have already shown an interest or ability to promote their community.

Self nominations are okay and encouraged

Each nomination should be a separate answer to this post. In the answer, please specify:

• link to Code Review and Meta profile
• links to other activities may be helpful

Please keep in mind if the nomination is posted by a 3rd-party, the nominee should indicate their acceptance by editing the answer and adding that they accept the nomination. Optionally, they can write something about themselves.

Additional Information

I just saw a post here on Meta about when they chose the pro-tems the first time and it looks like they actually had 4 moderators to start with.

We are currently at two moderators: one in Australia and one in Germany.

I haven't really noticed anything not happening quickly and efficiently, but this may be something that we would bring up as well.

Answer 1

gulps

Well, hello there everyone. I would like to nominate myself for the moderator position. Although I haven't yet been here for a year, I feel that I've accomplished so much in terms of keeping this site clean and helpful to others. Although I certainly don't need to be a moderator to keep doing what I'm doing, I know I can do more (or technically less, being a flesh-and-bone exception-handler) with this position.

Why do I want to be a moderator?

Needless to say, we're still in beta, meaning that everything is still being tested. Fortunately, like software, there's always room for improvement. However, we're maintained by evil overlords a friendly team of developers, and we can be shut down if we stop growing. And this is where I feel a strong moderator team is important. Not only to do the dirty work, but to keep the community together because, after all, Stack Exchange is me us. :-)

But enough talk. Why do I want to be moderator? Ever since I discovered this place, it's been one of my favorite places to kill time improve my knowledge. But, over time, I've felt that that's not the only thing I want. I also want to help others, as I've being doing by answering questions and improving posts. Although moderation is more than just that, I believe moderation is just another way to help others, just as this place has helped me and will continue to help me.

Do I have what it takes?

Well, that's a tough one. I've never really moderated a site before, although obviously I'll be with other moderators. I can only promote myself based on my accomplishments in these past eight months on SE:

Code Review:

• My highest rep privilege is moderator tools, which... has the word "moderator" in it
  • I use it frequently to address flags
  • I also use it to find additional questions that need a close or delete vote
• I was the second user here to have earned the Deputy and Copy Editor badges
• I have earned nearly all of the moderation badges, including Convention
• I vote (up, down, close, reopen) frequently and carefully, which I know is essential
  • I also have the Electorate badge
• I suggest/edit posts as I see fit, even if minor (but necessary) tweaks are needed
• I help others improve their assistance by reviewing edits, also to help them earn rep

SO, MSO, and Arqade:

• I frequently suggest edits and have a high acceptance rate
  • I have the Strunk & White badge on SO
• I have the Deputy badge on all of these sites
  • I have the Marshal badge on SO and Arqade
• I have the Electorate badge on SO and MSO

Overall:

• I check these sites regularly and do what I can to help
• I'm addicted around quite often, which is essential for very active sites
• I f*** hate spam and will flag it as such in a heartbeat
• But I'm okay with it in meat form
• I like waffles and unicorns, too
• I have a sick obsession delight seeing poor and helpless tags burn
• Um

Answer 2

I don't have a very high Rep Score here or on any of the SE Sites but I think that I have a good knowledge of what goes where, and how this democracy should work.

I also am willing to learn more as I go along.

I am active in the site and will continue to be active.

I like reviewing code and having my own code reviewed while I am waiting for queries to run or code to compile, or when one of Microsoft's many applications decides it wants to be slow.

I don't think that I have done as much as Jamal for this site yet, but feel that I have something to work up to.

I am slow to Anger and Quick to listen and understand, I also am quick to admit when I am wrong and rephrase my words when I am misunderstood or say something that is ambiguous.

I am active on Several SE Sites Top 5

• Stackoverflow
• Christianity
• Programmers
• SuperUser
• CodeReview

My vote is for Jamal though.
