- **I should moderate a little more (and to be careful to be judicious).** Moderation is usually fairly hands-off and community driven for good reasons, but for myself personally, I feel like EconJohn this year has definitely been the more active new mod compared to me (this is an anecdotal observation on my part). I have found myself asking advice from other mods about dealing with some users, once because I, frankly, completely lost my cool in a chat conversation. I am still learning the ropes of this whole moderating thing and always will be, so I hope to be a better mod going into 2019, both in my duties, and in my participation on the site.
