Mar 22, 2017 at 3:57 comment added Ulincsys @JourneymanGeek There isn't really a definite answer to that. Reputation is like money, it often comes in small amounts over relatively long periods of time. If I am elected as a moderator, then the community has already indicated that it respects me (or at least trusts me enough to loan me the respect that comes with being a mod). My main concern would be gaining the respect of the existing staff and moderators, which is most likely to be earned through hard work over time. Actually, now that I say it, "hard work over time" seems like a well fitting answer to the question.

I believe that good moderation involves the application of soft power - and that my authority as a mod derives from the trust of the users and other moderators. If you were to win, you'd be starting as a relative unknown to both the moderation team, and the community. How would you build up your own "reputation" and the respect the community would have for you? In a sense, how would you punch above the weight your reputation has?
