Nomination Draft
I've been an SO member for 4 years. I learn primarily by answering questions that I don't know the answers to, and this is what has drawn me to SO. I'd like to nominate myself for the position of community moderator.
I believe that SO's greatest strengths are...
-
- A high signal-to-noise ratio. I firmly believe that the internet as a collection of knowledge is one of mankind's greatest achievements, and nothing bothers me more than trying to tap into this knowledge base only to find large amounts of misinformation, or noise that distracts from content.
- It represents a vast, credible collection of information and an impressive community of knowledgeable users, and its success is a positive cycle that draws people in and improves the internet as a whole.
- It is community moderated. CMs are accessible, SE provides great transparency, and open, often controversial discussions can be held and are taken seriously. It is a community that promotes sharing of ideas and opinions, and I value this greatly.
