  1. What is your position on questions related to third party modules? A simple "I'm for/against them" will not sufice. Please list the reasons.

As long as it's something you can reproduce, I'll allow it. If it's OSS, GitHub is preferred but since this is something that can be used in favor of a greater audience it might work

  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?

As long as it's polite and doesn't cause others to leave, using the site's features should be encouraged.

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

Talk with the other mod probably?. Consensus is good but having some discussion is better.

  1. What do you think you can do as a moderator to achieve balance between quality content and being welcoming to new members?

Showing people the guidelines and have them respect it no matter what.

  1. Do you see any "no-do" actions/activities in this community? If you get a chance to be a moderator here, then what will be your approach to such no-do actions/activities?

BeBeing disrespectful or insultinsulting others is a no go, a code of conduct might work to better define those. No-do = ban, maybe temporary.

  1. How much time you can spend per day for the community? Do you think you will be able to scale up this time when needed if the flag load for a day rises unnaturally and/or the other moderators are not available?

2-4 hs and can scale when needed.

First explain what's wrong, then if it continues to do it, close or try to move questions to an appropriate site.

  1. In what way do you feel that being a moderator will make you more effective as opposed to simply reaching 10k or 20k rep?

By getting to know more people. Resolving controversies and moderating takes time and people is involved instead of just computers.

  1. In your opinion, what do moderators do?

I thought Marius was traveling the globe while being a millionaire as a moderator but once I met him in Las Vegas and asked about it he also confirmedtold me he has a Magento branded airplane, so there is that.
