Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.
Being a moderator does greatly improve your toolbox considering you're not even close to a 10k+ user yet, but I'd expect you to use the tools you have currently to your disposal before longing for more. That's what I'm getting at.
Spam is mostly countered by the Charcoal project and spam flags. You have some experience there, but I've seen some of your activity and you're far from 'experienced' yet. That's ok, we all had to learn. But stepping up to become a moderator here may be premature.
"Not having to wait for other moderators or community members to take actions on my behalf if an urgent or obvious action (deleting spam, or closing a very off-topic question) is required." Do you currently feel you have to wait for other moderators or community members to take actions? According to your profile (this is public knowledge), you have 90 helpful flags and 50 votes cast. That's definitely more than one of the other candidates, but you can reach 40 votes a day and votes play an important role in determining the quality of posts.
