I deleted the old one. Here's a REAL speech.
Hello, this is sanddude here. I love Scratch, and I would be honored if I could help clean it up.
Of course, in the past times I have been polluting it, but than I got banned. That got me to lessen the bad stuff I posted, but not eliminate it completely. But than I thought to myself "If you love Scratch so much, why are you polluting Scratch? You want to keep Scratch alive, and you aren't helping."
That voice in my head gave me a sudden change of heart. My worst nightmare is to be banned permanently. And my even worse nightmare is to have Scratch shut down! Now I've serioused out.
If I was a mod, I would put effort into the job, and gosh-forbid I abuse my power. I'll try to make Scratch a clean, happy place, but I will also try and be as fun as possible. I'll have a sense of humor, while protecting Scratch from chat topics, spam, trolls, and other stuff that's out of line.
The bad stuff I did was in my carefree days. I realized, that with hard work I could be a good guy, and help Scratch.
Thanks,
sanddude.

Great speech sanddude.
But perhaps you should add some more information, like activity, characteristics about you, and how you plan to specifically help the Scratch Community by becoming a moderator.

I agree with Lucario. One of the most important parts of your speech is what kind of plans you have if you become a moderator. What exactly will you do to help the Scratch community?

Here's for Lucario621 and demosthenes.
I will keep the community from becoming toxic.
So:
Gossiping about other Scratchers? Deleted!
Chat/spam topics Closed!
Repetitively inappropriate Scratchers? Banned!
But if that stuff happens to you, I won't haunt you for the rest of your life, because of it. I'll be forgiving, and accept apologies from Scratchers, who have done bad stuff in the past. And I'll have a moderate sense of humor.
I'll welcome New Scratchers into the community, constructively comment on suggestions for Scratch, and try to be as nice and fun as possible.
Please vote for me! It will be dearly appreciated,
sanddude.
P.S. If coolstuff is reading this, I'd like to tell him, that if i become a mod, he is my role model! He does his job right, but lives out his username. You rock, coolstuff!
What do you think?

I am flattered.
I should mention, however, that unless it's a really urgent case, we moderators really aren't supposed to ban people.

Neither
We have a sort of "report center." If there are new reports (which there almost always is), a message in bold and underlined says "There are new reports" on every page of the forums. Clicking it will bring up a list of the reports.

The Community Moderator's might be changing. It all depends on if they want to go on a break etc;
Voting for people will get them chosen as a candidate and then they may become a Moderator
