TJC, our great community platform, has proven itself as useful among many of us. While more and more questions are being posted, and the answering rate remains lower, we could have a check on the general purpose of this platform and its current state of moderation.

TJC is currently being used as:

Feature requests and other new ideas for Sailfish OS
Hardware requests for devices manufactured by Jolla
Bug reporting tool for Sailfish OS
Polling tool, varying topics
General discussion board, varying topics
App requests for Sailfish OS
App development discussion
Official announcements, e.g. release notes
Phone, Tablet and accessory availability
TJC development discussions (askbot issues)
Community meetups and other events
am I missing something here?

In general: Limited, but not restricted to, questions related to devices manufactured by Jolla and software developed for their devices.

Current moderation:

Different kind of posts are tried to kept in order via tagging system (you can add max 5 tags for a question)
All users with enough karma have some moderation rights, including accepting answers and tagging/editing/closing questions
Few Jolla employees and few community members are working as moderators, mostly coming in when the community doesn't manage to moderate themself

The question here is hunting the best actions for even better moderation, leading to even better user experience. Adding one answer myself too, but please contribute with more ideas.

My personal opinion is that the system itself is working as it should, but would be even better with some of the following actions:

Limiting the accepted types of posts (making the list above shorter)
Adding moderators and boosting their activity with some supportive and unlike ways
Adding the activity in user moderation, e.g. with rewarding users for their actions leading to better usability (this could include: The most active retaggers, the best (accepted) answers, the most active duplicate hunters etc.)
self-discipline (everyone might check their own outdated questions, just as an example)

There is user moderation already, karma unlocks most features - only things like user-management tag-management and other tinkering is locked away. Limiting types is also not necessary, there are only a few clustering topics on the list above and those are rarely seen. Discipline is a huge issue, always.

Unpaid moderation is the purest! Do not add moderation activity to the karma-generator!

Current user moderation options are indeed great, as already listed in the q, but it just might need a boost with some contests or other unlike actions. My answer was unclear for this part, editing it up, thanks.

@chemist: Unless you're an unpaid moderator, kindly revise your enthusiasm for freedom from the shackles of paid contractedness.

Could you enlighten what you mean by "to the karma-generator", I don't get it?
