Seeing as there is a [new election][1] this year - I would like to ask last year's elected moderators (and all current mods about their election/if you can remember that far back) a few questions on the nature of views and thougts pre and post election.

 - How/(if)has being elected as a Moderator changed the way you do things?
 - What have been some challenges in adapting to being a mod?
 - Victories/Good [war](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/War+story) stories?
 - And Lastly what are some inspirational words for this years candidates.
