Questions for All Candidates
How much transparency do you want to see in the Commission's operations? None at all, a mention that the Commission was operating or not in any given month, full disclosure of all discussions, something else? --Robkelk (talk) 20:35, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe that full disclosure is slightly a step to far for any violations the commission must deal with that are deemed sensitive or contain sensitive information. All reports should be kept confidential unless a reporter wishes themselves to be made public. Discussions, I believe, should be disclosed but any names should be censored or removed. I also believe that all decisions relating to punishments made by the commission should be disclosed. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  20:54, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Everything that is confidential information (such as real names, emails, etc.) should not be disclosed publicly. The decisions that are made could be revealed. If it is a delicate case (threats, attacks, etc.), that should be treated confidentially and avoid disclosing any details of the case to other unauthorized users. —Alvaro Molina (✉  - ✔ ) 22:08, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with @AlvaroMolina and @CnocBride MacFan4000 (talk) 22:47, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Ditto. I agree with both comments. Miraheze is all about transparency, however, in delicate situations such as an investigation into, for example, threatening behaviour, the details of the investigation should not be disclosed until after a decision has been made. Any sensitive information should be omitted prior to being published. Certain details of the investigation would always have to be published for transparency reasons otherwise it could be construed that commission members, or even Miraheze as a whole, were dishonest and/or had something to hide. I have no reason to believe that would ever be the case but "people" can be over sensitive and take things the wrong way. 01:29, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

What is your reason(s) for choosing to be a Commission member?

 * Because I believe that I can be of help resolving the cases that come to the Commission, I have the necessary experience for the work and also I also have enough time to be able to meet the needs that arise within the Commission. I also work constantly with email, so in that area I would not have problems either. —Alvaro Molina (✉  - ✔ ) 02:36, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * One of my main goals on Miraheze is too just help the community. I have done so through my activity on Phabricator and on the Meta wiki and I wanted to continue this further by joining the Code of Conduct commission. I check Met and Phabricactor at least 3 times on weekends and at least once during week days so I believe I am active enough to have a seat on the council. My experience with the community will benefit me greatly on the commission. &#32; Miraheze Logo.svg CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  09:42, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Why do you think you are right for the role?

 * Because I have the necessary experience to be able to deal with the cases that may reach the Commission, I was one of the users that supported the creation of the CoC, something that was necessary to ensure good coexistence among users who are part of the community of Miraheze, as well as to avoid harassment and possibly personal attacks among users. —Alvaro Molina (✉  - ✔ ) 02:45, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Have you ever held a position such as this before?

 * No, for that reason, I think this could be a good opportunity to show that I have the necessary skills to be able to assume the responsibility that this position has. —Alvaro Molina (✉  - ✔ ) 02:47, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

How would you best mediate problematic users?

 * I believe that whenever there are conflicts between users, the best thing is always, in the first instance, to encourage dialogue between the parties involved and to give their point of view on the problem; later try to seek to generate agreements between the parties with the aim of being able to resolve the conflict. Always maintaining an attitude of respect. —Alvaro Molina (✉  - ✔ ) 02:50, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

What have you done to enhance Miraheze services / help other users?

 * During these last months I have contributed to Miraheze as Wiki Creator, attending the wikis requests that arrive daily, and in some occasions I have helped in Phabricator and GitHub with the requests of features and extensions for the wikis. Also in IRC, sometimes I attend to new users who are looking for help. —Alvaro Molina (<font color="#137500">✉  - <font color="#137500">✔ ) 02:55, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
