As we graduate to public beta it is time to nominate some pro tem moderators to look after the Ethereum Stack Exchange community.

We are looking for some people with…

  • 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.

How to nominate

  • One nomination per answer.
  • You can nominate yourself or any other member. Self-nominations are even encouraged.
  • If you are nominated, please edit the post to accept (or decline) the nomination. You can even add a paragraph to tell us a little bit about yourself and your involvement with this site.
  • Link the name to the user's profile (parent and meta) so we can see their activity. Links to other activities may be helpful: Area 51 participation, participation in other sites, blog posts reviewing or announcing the site, etc.

And please vote, vote, vote for the folks you would like to see represent this site!

Who will be our first human exception handler?

    @paulmorriss No, not at all. While we allow folks to moderator multiple sites, we prefer moderators to focus on a specific community.

  • @RobertCartaino I was thinking of someone who had done it, but isn't now. I think it's a small advantage, but there may be several other more important things.

    @paulmorriss This site is a grass-roots effort of Etherium users, so we prefer not to reinforce the notion of an "expert" generation of SE moderators. Suggesting that experience in moderation is an advantage will only discourage folks who don't have it from participating otherwise. For a site where broad, crowd-sourced governance it absolutely critical, that would be very unfortunate.

  • @5chdn Thanks, I just figured out we paste the link itself, instead of trying to edit the "code" which all looks the same.

    Hudson has demonstrated exceptional leadership in the community, taking on the Homestead documentation initiative and Mod responsibilities for the subreddit. He is also a very knowledgeable developer and excellent communicator.

  • Scholar, Mortarboard, Informed, Autobiographer and Teacher don't seem relevant to moderation. I would expect users to list only badges from the section "Moderation Badges" under that headline, although I can see why Commentator might get mentioned as well.

    Be aware that moderating reddit and moderating Stack Exchange are very different. You'll need to get used to that, and make sure that the two styles don't contaminate one another.

  • @ArtOfCode: Thanks for the advice. I am doing my best to get used to moderating StackExchange. So far I have found that the biggest difference is that on Reddit you primarily moderate opinions and on StackExchange you moderate whether a post is well made, accurate, and conducive to the StackExchange Q&A format.

  • @HudsonJameson That's about right. And certainly when I moderated reddit, there's not so much of a stigma attached to vote fraud, whereas on SE vote fraud is a very serious incident.

  • I see that @5chdn also have experience participating in a beta site (SustainableLiving), which would be a very helpful experience to have, as moderating this site through it's beta stages would be very similar to how other beta sites operate!

I would like to nominate Jeff Coleman. He's a full time blockchain consultant active in the space since 2010, and an eager follower of Ethereum for the last two years.

Edit by Jeff Coleman: I very much appreciate the nomination, but unfortunately don't have the time available required to be an effective moderator. I must regretfully decline.

I would like to nominate nessence (Alex Leverington). I'm an Ethereum core contributor and dapp developer. I started contributing to the c++ client in Feb of '14 and was one of the first ethdevs hired in Berlin. I would like to help people learn more about Ethereum.

  • Organizer and speaker at DEVCON1 (@hudson was an awesome volunteer!)

I don't have a high score here or at the meta site however I voted for the exchange on area 51 and have extensive experience with ethereum.

I would like to nominate ThePiachu. Although he just joined yesterday, he started asking questions about Ethereum over 6 months ago.

If he is interested in our community, I think we would benefit from his community-building, experience, and participation in other related communities such as Bitcoin, Cryptography, Mathematics.

  • Thank you for the nomination, but I must decline. While I used to moderate Bitcoin.SE, I currently don't have enough time to devote to the site to be an effective moderator (hence why I'm no longer a Bitcoin.SE mod). Best of luck to you regardless.
