I wanna run in the scratch election but i got some questions.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Question_mark_blue.png




I want to run in the moderator election but i have some questions if a moderator could answer them that would be fantastic.

1.When will the next moderator elections be?

2.Do u have a certain amount of time that you are a moderator or do you stay a moderator forever?

3.Can you still be elected if you accidentally got banned for logging onto someones account that got banned?

4.Is moderating fun?

5.How do i run?

Re: I wanna run in the scratch election but i got some questions.

1.  It's still undecided.
2.  You stay a mod until you think someone should take your place, until you don't want to do it, or until you stop using scratch.
3.  Yes.
4.  Depends on if you like responsibility and helping people.  smile

Re: I wanna run in the scratch election but i got some questions.

1: I think the next mod elections will be in 5/6 months.

2: I think that you are a moderator forever unless you
a. Become inactive
b. Quit
c. Abuse your abilities

3: I don't think so. My brother screwed up our IP address, But I am still running  smile

4: I think that being able to help other users would be lots of fun  smile

Sorry I'm not a mod, but I think I should add something;

Being a moderator is more than being given a new title. What it does is let you help others more than you do now. Actually, being a moderator is a responsibility. In return for helping others, you get the satisfaction of knowing you did help someone out. And that concept seems really good to me.

Thanks for reading, and Scratch On!  smile

All other mods have school too (I think), so I don't think school is too much of a problem.

thx and i have another question, how do you run?

Just announce that you are running in the Unofficial Moderator Election forum in Miscellaneous or make a topic about it, and spread the word around that you're running.  Maybe put a message in your signature.

Sometime in October, I think  smile  Although I could be wrong...  hmm 
2.Do u have a certain amount of time that you are a moderator or do you stay a moderator forever?
You get asked every now and then if you still have time to moderate/still want to moderate, after each term of four months. You can resign before that, if something comes up, though  smile  Then again, you can decide to keep going until the next term end
3.Can you still be elected if you accidentally got banned for logging onto someones account that got banned?
Not sure - I guess the Scratch Team would have to look into it more...
4.Is moderating fun?
Most of the time, it's quite fun to help out  smile  It really varies from day to day, depending on what there is to deal with, your general mood, etc... Plus it's quite a feeling of responsibility, but not like a chore to me.
5.How do i run?
As others have said, simply post in the thread in Miscellaneous

Re: I wanna run in the scratch election but i got some questions.

Eh, Wolfie gave a good reply. But a few things to add to Wolfie's post (:3):

3. I think it's okay - one moderator was banned once and another one banned from a misunderstanding. But yeah, I think "not sure" from Wolfie is a better reply...

5. Last election, there was a topic in Announcements where people applied... but they might use the topic in Miscellaneous, I'm not sure.
