There are elections about every six months. I'm thinking about running this time...

I am going to try to run. I did a lot of flaming in the past. I hope they'll forgive me.

Well, the last ones happened in May, so they'll be around September. Of course, there's no guarantee that one will happen; if the moderators are all doing great there might be no need for one!

Re: how do you become a community moderator???

You need at least 100 posts to be a mod, not to pop your bubble or anything.....
I'll probably run to be a mod. :X My mom might not let me. Anyway, is there a mod age limit?

I got really angry when the were closing the TBGs, but I think other than that I was a good girl.

I might run, though.

Re: how do you become a community moderator???

I'd like to run but my regular house's IP address was banned thanks to my brother's shananagins. I'm going to email Scratch though and get back on. Then maybe I'll run.

As far as I know, there's no rule about the number of posts you need; however, it could be useful to have more posts to establish your presence as a helpful Scratcher.

Re: how do you become a community moderator???

Meh. I'm gonna run for mod in September. I posted exactly one spam post. I hope they'll forgive me... it was against the 60 second rule so they won't hold it against me anyway XD

Hmm... well, the youngest current mod is 12 (I think), but I think most mods are about 14 (not me though... I'm still 13  big_smile ) I guess it's mostly based on the reports you make, how friendly you are to others (most of the time - everyone's allowed to make a mistake now and then) and if you try to help people much  smile

I don't think post count matters too much - I had 850 posts when I became a mod, but, with moderating, I've gained a lot more. It's probably more based on the length of time you have spent on Scratch - your account must be at least 6 months old, and you have to have been active for quite a while of that time  smile

Oh, and "flaming" is getting into big arguments with others  smile
