That's good for us because that means the Scratch Team is going to pick the moderators!

Bye TBG.

Although I would like to be a moderator on the other website (If that choice is chosen).

I've been on Scratch for over 2 years, and I'd like to help out on the Scratch website. I'm on a lot, so it shouldn't be hard for me to moderate.

Anyone want to vouch for me?

Does vouch mean vote? Because in that case, I'll vouch  smile

Vouch is very similar to a vote  smile  But that would be correct.

There is no time for patience! Just kidding! I can't really wait, but I guess I have to. I wonder if the Scratch Team will like call up a meeting just to decide this....

Re: The closing of the text-based games forums (in 1 week)

If the website is created, I would like to be a mod. I've been on scratch for over 2 years. Though I barely have projects I am on daily. The reason I have a mininum of projects is because I refrain from hyping the public up. (littleBIGplanet© coming to scratch the best way it can soon ;D) So if you can please vouch for me >>.

Re: The closing of the text-based games forums (in 1 week)

Here it is:

andresmh wrote:

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot to everyone for your input. After reading the arguments in favor and against removing these forums, we have decided to close the forums mainly because of these two reasons:

1. it creates a lot of work for our current moderators
2. it is a source of fights and inappropriate behavior

There is a way we can keep these forums alive though. We would like to offer the possibility of creating a separate website (e.g. http://scratch.mit.edu/someotherforum) where we can put the Text Based Forums as a separate space from the Scratch Forums.

This would require a lot of work, so we would only do it if we can find  a couple of moderators who would commit their time to keep these forums free of inappropriate behavior, dissolve fights and follow the Scratch Terms of Use.

If you enjoy using the TBG forums and you are interested in keeping them alive on a separate website and you have a long established good reputation in the Scratch community and you would like to volunteer your time to moderate these new forums,  please let us know.

Just saying "I want to be a moderator" most likely will be discarded. Also, you might have to gather the support form other long established members of the community and our current moderators.

Based on these factors, we will make a decision. No matter what, we will close these forums in a week and, if there suitable moderators, we will create a new forum space.

Thanks and Scratch on!

I have been a moderator before on a site called iscribble.I'm also a voted Student Council Representive. I resigned cuz my Older Sister had died. But I do know use must be neutral, logical, and clear. That's why I vte for the three following users:

Nikkiperson2

The-Whiz

Robotkitty

They match most/or all of the Moderator needs. I vote for me cause, "If you  don't have the confidence to vote for your self whos gonna vote for you?"

You don't vote, we are just vouching. Letting others know that we think they should be mods.

It closes tomorrow!
Oh well. I agree for one reason. It is outside the realm of what scratch is about.

{EDIT}
This is the 400th post on this topic! I'm so cool!
