Meta Profile
Em C has been very active over the last 11 months in pretty much all areas of the site -- asking, answering, editing, flagging, commenting, reviewing, voting, meta, and judging from badges, chat. (I'm not in this site's chat often, so I can't say more about that part.) Em C looks like somebody who cares about helping this site flourish and has made many positive contributions toward that end.
I accept this nomination.
I'm flattered by support, and would be happy to serve IPS as a moderator!
The community really drew me in to the site when I first joined - I've been very impressed by how IPS has taken shape and weathered the various thorny issues that have come up, and would love to help out as it continues to grow. I like to think my background from growing up in a rural and conservative household to living in a large and liberal city has helped me learn how to see things from other points of view. I do try to keep this in mind when interacting with users here as they come from all walks of life. Just in the time I've been here, I've learned a lot from our users and referenced some Q&A's in my own life a few times :)
I've been fairly active on the site, taking advantage of my flags and votes and reading chat / meta regularly. As a mod, I think I would be most excited to have the ability to delete inappropriate content immediately instead of waiting for more votes or comment flags to handle it, and hopefully reduce the off-topic (and sometimes heated) back-and-forths that often ensue in the meantime.
I live on the east coast US and will probably be most active in the evenings or weekends, but can also check in sporadically throughout the day. For a little about me, I'm 26 and a software engineer. Outside of work, I like to hike, sew or knit, or just hang out with my spouse and our two cats!
