Plop!

This is my written candidacy to become a Room Owner.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I am going to write here. A waffle recipe?

I suppose the big thing is Why? The only true answer is: Because I care, and I believe I can make a difference.

I know most of the regulars of the room, sometimes personally. Same goes for ROs. I'm not easily offended by anything, anywhere. Anytime I do a mistake, I mobilize a huge chunk of my energy and my analysis capacities to understand the situation from multiple point of views and try to figure out if I can / how to fix it.

I am active in SOCVR, the Ministry, SOCVFinder, Charcoal HQ, MSO. My main activities are vtc'ing, flagging spam, and chatting. I often remind rules to regulars - "homework is a quality issue, not a scope one", "don't pile on", "don't moderate users" etc.

Over the year and a half that I have spent in the room, I have learned a huge lot. I now want my experience, knowledge of the room and its users, and kindness to not only help others as they already do but also to serve as example.

Eat your waffles with marmelade. Home-made. Or liquid caramel.

What is your general availability in chat?

When my computer is on and I have some Internet, I'm in chat (even if only lurking).

Factually I am in chat for about 8 hours every day on week days and maybe 3 or 4 hours on weekends. This ranges from 9am to midnight local time.

What is one thing that you would add to, change in, or remove from the current guidelines or FAQ?

I'd try to shorten our FAQ. Rules 2 and 9 could be merged into a single "review request caster responsibility" principle, for example. However, this has nothing to do with being a Room Owner. I believe everyone has a voice (even if not a decisive one) in how the room should be managed, and I'm going to try to tackle the FAQ issue whichever outcome the election may have. It must go through Pull Requests and Peer Reviews.
