<li>In your opinion, what do moderators do?</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>Helping the site function better ... resolving disputes, being an example</p>
<blockquote>
<ol start="2">
<li>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?</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>I'm not sure I really like that! Maybe I will have to go back and edit some of my first answers here, which was not very good. One of the effects of participating here is training in communication, good for aspies --- I still have much to learn here!</p>

<ol start="3">
<li>In what way do you feel that being a moderator will make you more effective as opposed to simply reaching 10k or 20k rep?</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>I am already way beyond 20k, so maybe not much ... but the site needs more effective closing and marking as duplicates, and I can be more effective at that. There are way to many unanswered questions which are unclear, and abandoned by their owners, better to close.</p>
<blockquote>
<ol start="4">
<li>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?</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>I'm not sure how big a problem this is ... valuable answers is important, so I hope some diplomatic hinting would help, suspension should only be an ultimate resource.</p>
<blockquote>
<ol start="5">
<li>How would you handle a situation where another mod closed/deleted/etc a question that you feel shouldn't have been?</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>If this were an old, abandoned post, I would leave it. Otherwise discuss it with the other moderator, so trying to reach a common viewpoint.</p>
<blockquote>
<ol start="6">
<li>Do you have any Meta posts that you're particularly proud of, or that you feel best demonstrate your moderation style?</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>Not really, one post that I think made a difference at its time was <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5386/what-to-do-about-long-review-queues">What to do about long review queues?</a>.  Maybe we should try to followup on @Sycorax answer in that thread?</p>
