At the time of writing this post, the flag queue consists of ~7000 “In need of moderator intervention flags”, the vast majority of which are about suspected AI-generated content.

If you get elected, you will have to sign the Moderator Agreement, which includes the provisions resulting from the June 2023 strike. Per the Agreement, you will not be allowed to handle many, if not most, of those pending AI flags by deleting the post, because the post doesn’t meet company-approved heuristics for deletion.

Even though progress has been made on this front, such artificial constraints on flag handling have caused previously active moderators to go on permanent strike and are an ongoing source of frustration for everyone involved.

Why do you still want to become a moderator specifically under these conditions? How will you deal with the frustration — if any — of not being able to expeditely deal with issues that the community cares about?
