Moderator Appreciation Day !!!
Today has arbitrarily been designated as Moderator Appreciation Day! These hard-working young men and women toil tirelessly to help keep the Scratch Community clean, safe and friendly. All for very low wages. Actually - no wages, lol.
Let's give them all a big "thanks!" for their hard work.
I even baked them a tasty virtual cake!
Thanks also to all you folks in the community that help the moderators do a good job by keeping things friendly and by using the Report link when you think there is a problem. Help yourselves to some of the cake too

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: Moderator Appreciation Day !!!
Thanks a lot moderators! You help keep Scratch safe and a better place for all of us. Thank you so much, we really appreciate it!
EDIT: That looks a bit overdone... but it's sincere.

Re: Moderator Appreciation Day !!!
My heartfelt thanks to our moderators. You are the core of the Scratch community. You not only help people, but you set an example for what it means to be a member of the Scratch community, and what our values are. Thank you!

First of all hooray for the amazing community mods!
Secondly, when thinking of the title for this day, did whoever thought of it deliberately make it spell out "MAD"?
Doh!
Nope... We'll just have to refer to it without using an acronym.

Re: Moderator Appreciation Day !!!
Wow, I just logged in and saw this. Thanks for all the wonderful comments, everyone.
I think an additional thanks should be given to all the members of the community who keep their eyes out for content that needs a moderator's attention so it doesn't get overlooked.

Holy cow, it does spell out "MAD"!

What's the average age of moderators?
Hmm... modally speaking, I believe it's 14 I think it's also 14 as the median, and I'm not sure about the mean average... I'm younger than the average D: Oh well - I'll be 14 soon enough xD
Thanks, everyone! It's been an honour moderating such a wonderful community - even though there have been the occasional ups and downs, everything always seems to turn out OK in the end Also, I'd like to thank you all for helping us to keep the forums clean and safe via the reports
And, last but by absolutely, positively no means least, a huge round of applause to the Scratch Team is called for, methinks! Not only have you guys and gals created an awesome kids' programming language, but you've created a welcoming community that I, for one, am proud to say I'm part of Also, without your help and support, I don't think I'd be half the moderator I have become over the past months Thanks, guys, for everything ^^
