Of all the females on here, I think @C-sun would make the best moderator. I have great respect for many of you, but would you make a good mod? Good question. I cant readily answer that. But, I can for @C-sun!

@C-sun has described the job of the moderator so very well!
- It’s a service to the community, not an exercise in wielding authority.
- The mod needs to have a clearly defined relationship with the community.
- The mod needs to be available.
- The mod needs to be aware of her own limitations.
- The mod needs to be fearless and anchored to the principles of the forum.
- The mod should have a minimum sobriety requirement.
I know that I am not available as much as a mod should be. I’m not great at tapping out when I ought to, I tend to persist to be “right”. And I tend to conflate service to others with my desire to win friends and influence people.
In light of her outstanding summary, I stand humbled. I’ll join the ranks of @Yoda-Stevie and refuse nomination, campaigning and serving this time around. Thanks to all who put my name forward.

I give you big props from here on this post as I agree! I’m finally starting reading down the whole thread and had to stop to comment.
@SassyRocks is someone I’ve grown to respect tremdously for her couth and ability to help guide others in the middle of a conflict in a constructive and level headed way! She’s made me think about things differently at times and I’ve grown as a person because of her wisdom. She’d be a great mod!
Lots of excellent suggestions so far, I do love seeing our little community coming together and appreciating others! 
Really cool stuff! Makes my heart happy.

There are so many wonderful folks whose names have been submitted here - all of whom have been tremendous help in me getting and remaining sober.
@DarrenUK, @Eke, @SinceIAwoke, @ifs, @anon30771928 - from the bottom of my heart, I am humbled and grateful for your confidence in me. (I hope I didn’t leave anyone out. If so, thank you as well!)
Having said that, I respectfully decline the nomination. There is a chance I will return to a full time job in August. If that happens, I will not be able to check in as frequently during the day - and off time will be focused on my children. I have every confidence that one of you folks who I absolutely love will do an outstanding job for us.

Is @Steve92 still a mod? He’s not here as much as he used to be though.
I’ve often wondered how you’re doing Steve.

If Autumn @C-sun is gonna be active she’d get my vote. Didn’t realize she’d be around more or I for sure would have added her to my lil list above.
She’s been the most viking sober person I’ve seen since I joined this app.

I hope you stick around for a while longer…and will always keep popping back to say hello… you bring a different perspective to sobriety success…not AA, not smart but @Yoda-Stevie… which I have always found so helpful… plus you are the closest I have to a sober twin

I’m all for @C-sun.
Thanks to those of you who nominated me, but I’m definitely not interested right now. Still have a ways to go before I’m off the med train and that’s my focus right now. Haha, and I moderate enough people at my job. I’m seriously flattered though, so thanks for making my day!
