Spring 2012 CM Elections: Discussion

Spring 2012 Community Moderator Elections are beginning!

For this term, we'll be looking for 2-3 new community mods to join the mod team.

As with previous elections, all candidates need to have their parent’s permission to become a mod, and meet the rest of the criteria described on the Community Moderator’s page.
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Community_Moderators

We will announce the list of candidates on Monday, April 9. Elections will be held Wednesday, April 11, 11 am to 11 pm EDT, so be sure to login that day to cast your vote. Results will be announced Thursday, April 12, after which we will begin the confirmation process with the parents of the candidates with the highest number of votes.

Feel free to ask questions or discuss the elections on this thread. If you wish to nominate yourself as a community moderator, post a brief statement on the nomination thread.

Scratch On!

How much time, on average, would a moderator spend moderating per day?


So long, 1.4.

It really varies.  And I should mention that stuff in real life, like school and what not, has to take priority (and this is something we discuss when speaking to the mod's parents to confirm their eligibility).

So there's no daily amount necessary. But I guess we would expect mods to be actively contributing in some way - like answering questions, or helping Scratchers - at least a time or two a week.

I'm too young ;_; Then again, my parents would never let me anyway. And I wouldn't win either, with all the stuff I've done :'(

You were supposed to enter your parent/guardian's email address upon registering, but I doubt many people do.

After the elections, the parents of the top candidates can contact us via the "contact us" link at the bottom of every page, or by email. We'll then setup a time for a phone call.

Hahaha no. Firstly, it'd be way too much pressure, secondly, my parents would never allow it, and thirdly, I get the feeling some of the ST hate me...

Darn. I'd run for election if I were old enough. Plus, my parents don't really care about what I do on the Scratch Forums, so they'd never give me permission to moderate.  hmm


Sooner or Later. Or sooner. Not much, except for a lot. In a way. But it will come no matter what.

My parents can be strict. I'm 12 (one year from being able to run), but my parents think its too big of a responsibility for someone under the age of 18.  hmm
Edit: Yeah, I know. It's confusing.

I'm just barely old enough, but I'm not sure if my parents would let me. They might let me, but I honestly have no clue yet.
