As I mentioned before: this is what I had to say last year and before a number of other serious contenders had nominated themselves such as Ward, EEAA, TheCleaner and Womble.
I don't plan to that much more than I'm already doing as an active community member, but moderator tools will make an active member that much more effective.

1. We had an election last year that ended with some parting and drama.
   And I can't help but think of Ryan Ries` comment: "I don't know why anyone would want to be a moderator, now." Let's be honest here, things went wrong after the last election. Communication was a major issue, and there were some divisive opinions on what should or shouldn't have been done. What do you think went wrong last year, and what would you do differently if put in the same situation?

2. Last year, we voted on someone who was running on a platform of extreme, desperate measures, we voted for someone who put up the following campaign slogan: "A vote for me is a vote to put my cruelty and viciousness to work for the site, against the horde of stupidity that threatens it." And while it definitely wasn't a landslide victory, talks of stupidity dealt with through cruelty did garner enough votes to win a second place. Do you think the extreme rhetoric used last year is still viable today?
   Would you consider picking up some of the work that helped win last year, and if so will you take a different approach?

We don't want to waste time on them and cleaning them up as they come in is valuable. I'm lazy enough not to care about ancient baaaaaad plesk and similar questions and doing much more then what I already did.

3. Do you agree with the statement "ServerFault needs professional-quality questions, not just questions from professionals"? What does the word "professional" mean to you, within the context of the phrase, "professional-quality questions"? Do you believe that in addition to professional-quality questions, ServerFault also needs professional-quality answers and comments? What are "professional quality questions" to you?
