I've put forth my candidacy several times already, but I more than meet the qualifications you list. Plus, I've acted as a moderator on some pretty major subreddits, and, before that was popular, some large forums.

Sledge is your Moderator!

(If you don't believe me, give me a 90 day trial run.)
OK, this just got interesting.😉

Let’s see where this goes…

+1 for Res, Xen, CanP and Sledge.

Sledge would add some diversity as a TBM and spends more time in Terrestrial.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

Edit: I listened to some Lipstick--AMAZING!
Hmm. It's surprising you would be interested in moderating here. Didn't you tell Dr. Shades, in a discussion on SeN, that you consider this place to be a "hate site" that "harbors anti-Mormon bigots," and a "festering cesspool" that you equated to Stormfront?

And this: "your hate site is the platform upon which several pseudonymous cowards launch their hate."

And directly to Shades: "This makes your site a bigoted site and you, quite probably, a bigot."

Why would you want to be a moderator at a site like that?

Kind of like on Z. I like that idea!

But Sledge thinks this is a hate site, like Storefront, and that Shades is a bigot. I foresee trouble.

Yeah, I own that. You got me. I was trolling Shades.

But since I've spent some time here, I've realized I was wrong. I ask for forgiveness.

Really? So you retracted your comments then?

How about this one to Shades?

"Your hate is clear. You've dedicated the better part of your life to it. You've created websites that foster it. You've propagated it throughout the internet for decades."

And was this one about the board here also just 'trolling' Shades?

"You set up an entire platform that harbors the worst of the anti-Mormon bigots, and you continually pay for hosting to keep it going. Plus, you almost never stand up for the truth on your festering cesspool that you promote. Like Stormfront, your site is a hate site."

How do you feel now? What changed, if anything?

Sounds good, as long as four isn’t over doing it. Get too many and one moderator might think the other moderator ‘has it’.

Also, potentially there is a Supreme Court ruling weighting concern where three to one wins the day? How does that work? Do all moderators have to be in agreement when some sort of moderation dictum is handed down?

Otherwise, I can see three to one decisions on a good day, a two/two split on others.

I've spent some time here. That's what changed. I still think there are haters here, of course, but there are also good people here.

But in any case, my personal opinion does not matter as moderators should be indifferent clones of Shades and listen to Lipstick. That's what I offer. And as I've repeatedly said, give me 90 days. If I'm not the best damn moderator you've ever seen, demod me.
