And also, I'm not convinced that you would be active. I've never seen you make a post in the miscellaneous section, or in fact anywhere in the forums in the past 4 or 5 months. Prove you'll be more active, but otherwise you seem like a solid candidate, and I might consider voting for you.

Whoever said posting in Miscellaneous was a requirement to being a mod?    There are other ways of being active in the forums without even posting anything - for normal Scratchers, it's quite possible to simply browse Miscellaneous (or any other section of the forums, for that matter) and report things that may need a moderator's attention.

pardon me if I am bothering you, but as a moderator: What did you think of my speech?

Well, whenever I analyze moderator candidates, I look at two things: their past actions and posts, as well as the crux of their speech that talks about how they claim to improve the forums.

In your speech, the crux is this:

I am on the scratch site all the time, I would say a few times a day. Of course I would ban those annoying spambots when they're reported, I will edit posts with terms of use violations in them, but I won't make it look ugly (i.e This is very [removed by mods]) I would simply change it's wording in a nicer way perhaps. I would always be nice of course. I would be the moderator you can be friends with!

Now for my interview-the-candidates question (I think I'll do one for every speech made  ):
Everyone knows that when moderators edit posts, they usually remove the offending section with the phrase [removed by moderator], [removed] or something similar, and may either leave a public moderator edit note, or ask the Scratch Team to assess the situation should it be an issue where a private notification may have to be sent. The edits are usually public (along with the moderator's name, to show which moderator edited the post), which otherwise indicates that it is clear that such content is unwanted on the website.

Your speech says that you would make the edit "less ugly" and the wording more nicer. How do you propose to remove offensive content so it is less ugly and more nice, yet still being clear that the removed content is unwanted on the website?

That changing posts thing is nice and all, but I wouldn't want that happening to any of my posts. Neither would anyone else.

well, neither would I, but it has to be changed sometimes. Wouldn't you rather it be replaced with something less ugly than [removed]

For example, When I said

Thanks [name removed]! It's because I went to the conference for three days. It'd be great if we both win! We would do well together

Lucario's real name, you changed it to 'name removed.' I would just change it to his username, that way it would look less ugly.

Thanks Lucario621! It's because I went to the conference for three days. It'd be great if we both win! We would do well together

see? And maybe leave a post below stating that I edited the name out, to show people that the removed content was unwanted. Thanks for your input.

Usually, edits are there on purpose to show what was removed (and maybe a reason why), and I will admit that was a rather hasty edit on my part.

You know, that was pretty good answer. Any other examples you would like to share with us on how you would prove to be a good moderator? 

Hey, my name is Connor, too!

Wait I'm confused. Is this aimed at me or MidnightLeopard?
