Revision Draft
I am 33. I'm a freelance programmer in NYC. As a freelancer, I set my own schedule. I can fully commit. I value teaching others how to help themselves -- doing so creates better programmers, which creates a better future.
A community moderator should be accessible, open to criticism, and fair, accomplish big picture goals without alienating individuals in the process, and represent the community at all times. I believe in moderators as an extension of the community. I value low noise, individuals' parts in a larger whole, and transparency.
I believe in firm but *flexible* moderation: Communities grow organically, I will uphold evolving values. The community organically makes the correct decisions in matters that it has the power to make decisions on, and a moderator only exists to do the rest. I'm patient with even the most frustrating users, firm but gentle when needed. Frustration often stems from deeper systemic issues (but I know a troll when I see one).
I want to improve and organize general site documentation. Introducing new users to our values is the best way to ensure ongoing success, I want to encourage new users to stay and not leave empty-handed.
