If I did, then mainly the only people that would vote for me are the ones who biasedly vote for Scratchers whom they like.

I disagree. I would vote for you 

Wait, you said mainly. 

So, you're saying you'd vote for me because I'd be a good mod? 
I doubt that.

Hmm.

Fine. Don't believe me if you don't want to.

K, I won't 

but wot if he was being onest?

My account is not old enough(you have to be 6 months or older), so I can't run for moderator. However, I'll submit my speech so you can critique it and I can improve on it:

Hi, I'm helltank and I first discovered Scratch in 2007 or so. At that time, I went by the name haloplayer, but soon quit. Suddenly, this year I remembered Scratch, which was lucky as I rejoined and this time, did not quit.

In 2007, long ago, in the days before coolstuff, Dazachi and Chrischb, I remember being fascinated and curious about a certain user who had the power to delete inappropriate projects, and from what I could make out, was also the person who receives flags on projects. That person, it turned out, was Paddle2See, and I recall wishing to be like him/her one day. So in 2010, I remembered that dream and instantly started finding out more about moderators.

Now that I am a moderator, I would like to assure you that I will:

Follow the Terms of Use strictly
Give warnings to people who break the Terms of Use, followed by a ban if the offense is major
Help others, like New Scratchers, learn more about Scratch. In fact, I've already uploaded some guides, like A guide to flame wars and Helltank's Noob Guide.
Be friendly and laid-back, so that Scratchers won't fear me as the boring and stickler for rules moderator. After all, it's better to lead by respect than fear.
Which brings me to the next point:I'll lead the other Scratchers on the road to learning.

So remember:When you place a vote for me, you're not voting for helltank:You're voting for yourself, because if I'm elected, I'll definitely do my best to help you.

Um, can someone point out the bad things about my speech so I can correct them? Thanks 

Starting tomorrow, when I'm at school, bored, I'm going to rip apart everyone's speeches and examine them. Possibly, I'll write some counter speeches
And I mean today, I forgot it was Monday for a second :\

Nope
And I'll tell you why later

Alright, assuming you weren't running...

(if I wasn't trying to gain a good reputation so I'll get more votes next January, I would so flame Blade-Edge. I'll roast him and burn him alive.)

Chapter 1: The speech
Let's examine this speech, shall we?
First you mention how often your projects were flagged. I guess that's normal, although I've never heard of it. Benefit of the doubt.
Next you state how you already are a mod? Sorry, did I miss something?
Anyway, ignoring that, you have some noob guides? Noob is an offensive term for newbies, so why would you use that? Oh, right, catchy title. However, innacurate title
Noobs are not newbies. I see you're familiar with the banning process also, I'm not surprised 
What does being a moderator have to do with fear? It's respect, and it demands it, no one fears moderators
Anyway, you've mentioned that you would help us, you don't mention how. What would you do?
But still, I liked that part better than the generic repetitive speeches

Let's move on
Chapter 2: Past behaviour inside and outside of Scratch
You constantly mention that you try to strangle your sister. I do not want you as a moderator
A few weeks ago, I witnessed a topic in the dustbin by a certain individual with an underscore behind his name, and it had profanity in it, and the topic title was directed at you, helltank
I also saw 'Last replied to by helltank" which meant you saw the topic
Recently, on the public forums, you yourself admitted to being that person. I'm not even sure why you're still around, since you openly swore on the forum, and for what? What was the reason for that anyway?
Seriously, help me out here. I can't see any reason at all behind it.
You can't take it back
Now, let's move on again

Chapter 3: Behaviour towards voters
Yo, that means me. I wouldn't particularly like being 'roasted' not that you can do that to me
It's still not good political behaviour to make threats towards voters
If you were trying to get good rep, you wouldn't make remarks like that anyway
It's like a presidential candidate says on the radio "If I wasn't running for president, I would be torching buildings and robbing banks"
That's like saying you don't want any votes at all

Chapter 4: Voting for you
I won't, for above reasons

If anyone else wants a book, I can write one for you

This book deserves applause. *claps*

Are you allowed to vote for more than one person?

Ok... here is what's happening. I'm not running for mod. I AM leaving the fake counter in my sig. Maybe in 4 years. IF there are forums then.
