Return to Question

This has been done on several sites so far and were pretty successful, I think they have also had live chats with the candidates but since you all have an adversion to the chat I'm not sure how well that would work.

Feel free to answer as many or as little as you have time for. Many of these questions are identical to those asked on other SE's. Credits below.

###Openers###

• What do you believe is the biggest issue currently facing WPA? How do you plan to handle it?

###Personal###

• Should we be afraid you'll burn out or become even more fanatic?

• How do you expect becoming a moderator will change or influence the way you use WPA?

• Will you have the time to spend moderating the site? How much time do you think you'll spend modding?

• What is it of being a moderator that appeals to you? You will be, for many users, the overlords of the site, and will have to make decisions on behalf of the community. Is it so you can show people you have a pointy diamond next to your name, to give back to the community, because you really, really like power, or something else?

Topics

• What are your opinions on the various WordPress versioning tags? Do you feel they benefit the site and make it easier to use?

• What's your stance on duplicates and how should they be handled?

• Do you feel it is the role of a moderator to promote the site? How would you promote WPA to the wider WordPress community?

• How do you feel that WPA fits in with the overall WordPress ecology?

Moderator Powers

• How will you deal with having a binding close vote?

• How do you feel about suspensions? in what cases should it be used? and not?

Users

• What do you feel is a good way to deal with new users posting bad questions?

• How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?

Closers

• Which three nominees do you think are the most suited to become the next moderators and why?
