user15125: Buddhism's Election has come to a close! The new moderator is:

They'll be joining the existing crew shortly — please thank them for volunteering, and share your assistance and advice with them as they learn the ropes!
There was no voting for this election as we just had one candidate.

user11762: Congratulations to @ruben2020 , to the other moderators and to us all, with keeping this useful site benefitting sentient beings!

user-1: This worked out very well i think. I generally like how moderation is nowadays, very quick and i see little to no conflicts. I think this site can outlive us all and remain a valuable evolving commentary.

user471: Thank you Cesar M.
I accept the election results and consent to join as a moderator of Buddhism.SE, in close cooperation with the existing moderators of Buddhism.SE.
I will just repeat my nomination text below:

I would like to volunteer myself (ruben2020) to be a moderator of
Buddhism.SE, as I wish to see this site maintained and sustained.
Growth is nice to have, but at the very least, we should maintain what
we already have, which is a reasonably active community producing good
quality Buddhism Q&A, in a manner that conforms to the Code of Conduct
and guidelines of this community.
The advantage of Buddhism.SE compared to similar sites, is that we
accept the balanced participation of all Buddhist traditions here. I
would like to see this continued.
I have been a member of Buddhism.SE for the past 6 years, and have
been actively participating in recent years.
In terms of moderation, I accept the policy of A Theory of Moderation,
that moderators are "human exception handlers", who should do as
little as possible, intervening only when necessary.


user-1: This is fine, thanks for volunteering. Make BSE great
