#Tejas's answer

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?

We are here to help a community of people. I would first warn the user by commenting on his/her reply to request to correct the behavior else, I will report such users after verifying the flags.

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

I will first understand my actions as of what I would have done of tables were flipped, If I am not convinced, I will take the suggestions of other moderators and depending on the consensus, I will make a decision.

3. In your opinion, what do moderators do?

I think moderators are the people who are responsible for ensuring that the community is healthy. They handle flags and perform appropriate actions depending on the behavior of the users

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?

I think that the community will respect the answers which have a diamond attached. It also increases the responsibility to make sure and audit them to make sure that they are correct and accurate.

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?

I would make sure that people who always click No Action Needed in First Posts and Late Answers to finish reviewing faster and abuse the system to sure they do their due diligence. Also, being a moderator makes me liable for any actions I performing the site which includes reporting, flagging, or upvoting.

6. This question would be mostly valid for people who are very active in the review queues. Before the diamond, reviews would require several people's votes before the system decides on the outcome. With the diamond, your vote will be the definitive one. Would that spook you into skipping reviews? In summary, how would the diamond affect your activities in the review queue?

Review queues are very important as it helps us to keep the community free from unwanted posts. I spend most of my time on Review queues. It is said that with great power comes great responsibility. Also, mods have greater authority. I will try to make avoid skipping posts and pay full attention to them.

7. What activity most occupies the time you spend in AskUbuntu? I mean, what would you say you most do here.

I spend most of my time reviewing First Posts and Late Answers and editing posts, sometimes, I spend on replicating other users problems and finding the solution

8. How much time will you have to moderate Ask Ubuntu every day? What is your timezone?

I can spend 3-4 hours daily moderating. On weekends it will somewhat extra. My timezone is UTC + 5:30
