Generic Mod Thread #45864334s39w4

Hello everyone, it's me, S65. Once again I've come back after a 2-month hiatus...only to see that the once-peaceful and tranquil land of Scratch yet again needed a moderator! So I'm running, just to see what happens, and because I felt like writing a relatively long post.

SPEECH TIME

So I've been here for...more than 3 years now, on and off. I've seen Scratch go uphill and downhill, I've seen random forum drama, I've seen people make huge frontpage projects saying they're leaving and then come back 1 week later, etc. I came, I saw. Never conquered though.

Anyway here's my shortlist of things I would do as a mod.
   - keep the peace and help the kids stay safe
   - show off all the positive qualities I may or may not have (including being fair, unbiased, and most of all, awesome)
   - make the forum a more fun and humorous place for everybody
   - institute a ban on the words "cool," "story," and "bro," specifically when used next to each other
   - get that soda I made a topic about years ago
   - ban every single one of you

I'd also like to declare my campaign theme song as the following Youtube video.
Link

Finally, here is a banner for all you cool kids to put in your sigs or whatever else to show your support (even the ones running, because you know what they say: there's no I in Team, more specifically the Scratch Team in this case).

I definately wouldn't vote for you. You seem like the kind of person who if they got elected would try to enforce their own special rules on people, and would be very controlling and hard to reason with. Also your lack of posts/recent activity worries me you wouldn't be active as a moderator. EDIT: on top of which your attempt at sarcasm by saying "I'll ban every one of you" is not funny, no matter what you think. EDIT again: I'm sorry if this sounds harsh to you, but you have yet to prove you'd contribute anything positive/different to the community. Also I've never seen you post in misc recently.

Lol.


This is S65. He was really popular back in the day. Creator of one of the best projects on Scratch. This is obviously a joke.

What are you talking about, Scratch exists so that we can talk about how our day went on the forums (and post great images of cats, of course)

How was your day antimonyarsenide?

My day was boring. I haven't had time to work on a project in too long.

And you, S65?

And you, S65?

It was pretty okay (found out I aced the tests I took the day earlier =P)

I'm also making a game with Game Maker 8 for the upcoming NCFC (if you haven't heard of it, it's basically an online fangaming convention). I'm not really too motivated to work on any of my Scratch stuff right now, but at times I get bored and open it up (if you remember Requiem of Thunder, I had a spiritual sequel to it in the works a while ago, except better in every way).

Maybe I'll finally get that raycaster working one of these days =P

Also, it's funny how he mentions about posting in misc again.
Who cares? They can still have mods who don't post a lot in misc. They would probably be even better, because the misc is a dark and evil place

I support S65 becoming a mod so much I have broken my self imposed ban from the Scratch forums.

It is apparent that you are very serious about your professional campaign to moderate a childrens' site and anyone who thinks otherwise is a dolt.

A global banning happened once when the IP detector malfunctioned D:

Moderating a childrens' site is the ultimate sacrifice one can make, and truly indicates how committed they will be during the parenting stage of later life.

Think of me as the Barack (some would say "Hussein") Obama of Scratch.

Now that I think about it, usatt's probably so opposed to you because of that ban on cool story bros you proposed. He uses like 5 a day

Well that's a shame, I better get my folder of "cool story bro" pictures and post them all at once so I can garner votes (and by that I mean go on KnowYourMeme and take all of their images, because I don't actually have a folder of meme images).

Bonus points if I post them in situations where "cool story bro" doesn't even apply, and even more if it makes me look like a jerk. Though if I post "cool story bro" at all it'll automatically make me look like a jerk anyway, so I get bonus points no matter what I guess?

Actually I think we got them all removed a few weeks ago, and now it is considered Spam to say it (which is often why Usatt's posts mysteriously vanish)

Yeah, two of my posts mysteriously vanished today too. But whatever, maybe I just need to up the ante a bit: *cracks knuckles, puts on sunglasses, backflips into helicopter and flies to secret government moon base so he can control the election*
