can you choose me

You have to wait another 3 or so months and then see if you get elected - it's really a matter of the community choosing you 

Also of the Scratch Team choosing you - they have to choose you before the community can. 

I disapprove of us having Moderator Elections. Wasn't it just a few months back that we banned all political related themes from Scratch? So then why do we have this? Do you know how easily someone unfit to become a moderator can come into power? What happened to the good old days where the Scratch Team hand-selected Moderators they thought would do a good job at the position? I'm not going to vote for anyone ever.

There's still a chance only bad candidates run. Although it's really low since half the forum community runs.

Well, the Scratch team chooses the candidates before the community votes, so they still have a say in who gets the position.

That does absolutely nothing. You never know who might be 'evil' these days... They could be EVIL moderators! You could be evil too! Even me! WooooOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOOooooOOooOo

If they think you're "evil" or suspect that you might do a bad job, they wouldn't even let you be a candidate in the final election.

Pretending to be nice is easy as pie.

So I've noticed... >.>

What's that implying?

wow! i'd love to enter! i have my speech ready too!

i have always wanted to be a community moderator and i'm sure i never will. but, if i do enter, it would be so nice to see at least 100 votes under my name. i have never been popular and i haven't even gotten over 80 view on any project i made. and, i have a lot of projects, i would say.  most, are pretty good. i'm sure september's voting will lead to a different scracher, let alone, mabye we don't need one beacause all the others are doing great. (it's true...) i do hope you get my point. which artist claimed that everone will have 5 minutes of fame? oh yeah! andy warhol. well i need that 5 minutes... i have alway noticed that moderators are pretty nice. honestly, think i am too... even though i think mod would be great for me, i bet there are other great canidates that have this same problem. THATS why i want to be mod. and why you should vote for me
