Scratch

No one has said the greatest reason for why they should be a moderator. 

Of course, that's just my opinion, but I'm quite sure it's the best one that the Scratch Team would like.

Hey MRN, I withdraw from the list

thanks 

As I stated earlier, I really didn't care whether or not I got to be a mod, and I just thought, if I wasn't a candidate, it would give people who wanted to be a mod, a better chance at getting to be one

Bye then, TBG.

Personally I liked this forum. I'd rather go for moderating it together with The-Whiz, nikkiperson2 and fruit than just let it fade away. I have some experience, since I had my own forum once, so I know what it's like.

As for forum itself, I suggest to base it on phpBB3. It's free and most likely opensource technology, slightly better than FluxBB, and PMing can be disabled too.

Why I'd like to be a mod?
Mostly because I liked this forum very much, and I know that when the game is good, people won't start a flame war (maybe except few persons, but I won't name any names at this point). I also want to do something for the role players, because I know what it's like - I was a game master in each and every RPG in my class in primary school. I know that a well-directed game can be really addicting. And of course, I'm one of those reasonable people who won't stick their own games. No. I'd like to create a Game of the Week spot, where community suggests their favourite games and we -- talking of Scratch Text-Based Games team -- choose the featured game for the week every Monday (voting would be on weekend).
I know that it's like TL;DR, but... I just liked this forum... *sobs*

I'll vouch for you.

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.

Filo5 isn't on the list...

But I'll still vouch!

Please add me to the list MRN

ok im making another speech

this is why i should become a moderator

I first came to the scratch site in the year 2008, what I saw here was a friendly group of supportive people who worked on making the best games that they could.  this was a great group of people, everyone was very accepting and I Was adding people to my friends all the time.  I later discovered the forums and got to see some more people too, the entire time I was striving to get the frotn page because I really wanted the popularity.  well to this day I have only achieved it twice, once was an advertisement and the second was because lanie added one of my projects to her favorites when she was curator (thnx lanie)  but I have never really gotten what I really want and that was number one top loved (on the front page)  I think this is something everyone strives for.  but you know I realised something.  as much as fame is great and everyone wants to be famous you gotta look back on the little things.  i've recieved comments saying that my games were incredible, amazing, and I've recieved comments saying that they were awful and that they could do better in their sleep, the hurtful comments hurt but when someone says great job its a great feelin, and I always try to reply to people hwen they comment on my work.  So the main reason i think scratch is awesome is because it teaches you lessons like that.  how no matter how tough the world is as long as you have people supporting you you can make it through anything.  and you know what for all the people who have had their games insulted, who have been told they suck at scratch.  well you know what, you may be bad at programming or stuff like that, but think about this, everyone has been bad at something at some point, people aren't born great, people are made great by never giving up and working hard.  look at me, im an ok programmer, but i started out programming simple games where all you could do was move a car left to right, don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something because you always can and if you try then you will! 
I believe in the Scratch community, I believe that I can be mature and make good decisions that will help out scratchers, I believe that I should be the NEW TEXT BASED GAMES MODERATOR!

When the Text Based Games go away, will it get rid of our post count from TBG? I posted alot in here, and wanna keep my sig.

I don't think the post count will go down. The Scratch Team would have to do it manually if they wanted to make the post counts go down...
