1. How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?

I'd make sure the person knows about arguments/flags and offer help in reducing number of those. The positive input is more valuable for the community

2. How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc. a question that you feel shouldn’t have been?

I would approach the moderator directly first, and if reopening is necessary, then would do that with a comment.

3. In your opinion, what do moderators do?

Moderators help to keep the place clean.

4. A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?

Everything you do or say on the internet stays there forever. Starred, or unstarred, makes no difference here.

5. In what way do you feel that being a moderator will make you more effective as opposed to simply reaching 10k or 20k rep?

Being moderator is responsibility. Being responsible for something make you try harder in that matter.

1. How would you deal with a user who produced a steady stream of valuable answers, but tends to generate a large number of arguments/flags from comments?

I would contact the user directly and encourage them to continue to contribute, but offer advice / guidance on how to post concise and clear answers that are generally useful.

2. How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc. a question that you feel shouldn’t have been?

I would discuss the issue with the mod and aim to understand their thinking, and see if common ground could be reached on best way forward. If that failed, would reach out to wider moderator community for broader consideration.

3. In your opinion, what do moderators do?

Aim to ensure that the questions and answers provided by the community are as clear and concise as they can be to maximise usefulness, and to monitor discussions / interactions to ensure they remain focused on topics relevant to the community and abide by code of conduct rules.

4. A diamond will be attached to everything you say and have said in the past, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that?

It perhaps is useful for others to see that moderators are also contributors; not sure it should or would change my approach to contributing to the community.

5. In what way do you feel that being a moderator will make you more effective as opposed to simply reaching 10k or 20k rep?

Not sure it will directly affect my ability to contribute Q&A to the community, my interest in contributing is more to do with ensuring the community remains current and useful than achieving badges or status markers.
