1 Welcome Ben to the iFixit Moderation Team!
Welcome @benz78 !
We've been reading a lot of Ben lately and agreed that with his passion for repair and his community spirit he would be a great addition to our team of Moderators. So after several rounds of peer-approvals, as well as an internal discussion at iFixit, we asked him to join the Moderation team—and we are happy to say he's accepted this honorable position! As a native German speaker, he'll focus on the German speaking Answers Forum.
Ben, we are delighted to have you on the team!
Up to now, @vauweh has been our only moderator to look after the German speaking community. As our repair community grows, we are happy that Ben has agreed to join him to help our German community members navigate our site. And as other language communities grow, we'll be keeping an eye out for future mods in those languages, too.
Thanks to all of the existing mods who helped make this decision.
We look forward to working together to help everyone fix every thing.
Is this a worthwhile discussion?

Thank you so much @mariaparker for this honor, being now a member of this marvelous team!
I really appreciate that and will do my very best not to let you down. Just have to start slow and get familiar with the new possibilities. And i promise that i will focus on @vauweh and @oldturkey03 as my role models ;-)
Keep on doing the good deed!

@benz78 You are already a role model on the German Site. Now let's go international. "@oldturkey03 as my role model" that may not be a wise decision :-) Old, opinionated, and sometimes even cantankerous dudes, with to much time on their hand, may not be the best role models.
@mariaparker, Thank you for the great news. (BTW loved your profile. Maybe one day you tell us more about the gold mines)

@oldturkey03 Count me in on team old, opinionated and cantankerous. I count those as benefits. Most of the time. That’s how I solve problems, I’m too grumpy and stubborn to let them go. :)

@flannelist that's the spirit! If there'd be a team for us, I'd nominate you for the team lead as long as you let me add smart to your attributes :-)
