Quality content is the most important output of this site, and I have taken a lead in creating, improving, and rewarding others for creating kick-ass content:

• I enjoy writing up detailed posts that go above and beyond the call of duty, and I look up to others who do the same.

• I am a voracious editor. I'm also great friends with Messrs. flag and close.

Quality users are the most important input to this site, and I have taken an active interest in strengthening the audience of this site. I'm a big fan of CoTW and the work he's done to merge BI into this site.

This is what I've done and who I am as a member of this community.

As a moderator, none of that will change.

Tamer of beasts.                  Fearless leader.                  Database Administrator.

I would gladly help out with this if you are seeking more than one mod. If not I'd probably vote for one of the other people nominated so far myself :)

I'm on during West Coast U.S. business hours (-7 GMT). I like answering questions and helping people, and I think it's not so terribly difficult to be polite online.

I like this community so that's why I keep coming back. It's great to interface with the Aaron Bs, Brent Os, Grant Fs, et al, of the world, I've learned a lot. And the direct Q/A style fits my own communication style well. Just the facts ma'am :)

Cheers!

Apart from writing the odd long-winded answer on dba.se my principal claim to fame is the proposed B.I. site on Area 51, which has now been officially merged with DBA.SE.

I'm not a database administrator, although I did work as a dev DBA at one point. These days I build data warehouse and reporting systems for a living and do the odd product design gig for various consulting firms in the industry.

I've been on Stackoverflow since 2008 and DBA.SE since the latter part of 2011, and for reasons I can't fathom people seem to like my answers. Regulars or visitors to The Heap will have trouble missing my random emissions there.

The community here's been good to me and made me feel welcome. I'm nominating myself because I can give something back and I'd like to do that.

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for this as well.

I've been on Stack Overflow since July 2010 (only in the SQL and PowerShell tags), and on DBA.SE since May 2011. I've been active on DBA.SE since late last year.

I've been relatively active on Meta.SO as well, and read the Meta on DBA frequently.

I believe strongly in encouraging the right kinds of questions and answers. This has not been a huge issue on DBA so far, but as the site grows it'll continue to be a problem so getting the right precedents set from the beginning is important.

I think the current moderation team has been doing a great job and I'd like to help continue that work.

EDIT

It also occurred to me that this is fairly important from a deleting/editing perspective as well, since most sites rely on 10k users for a lot of this work and we only have 3 non-mod 10k users here.

I'll obviously take that into consideration if elected!
