...why has he BLEW it?! I think younger mods are better. They know how to word things so younger people understand. What I mean is this:

Person1, age 10 : Why is this project not working for me?

Now, which is more useful?

FlexiStudio : You've forgotten to add a forever block. [image of a good script]

Some Older Person : Your project is lacking the basic requirement of a 'forever' block, meaning your creation is incapable of performing the commands after the flag is pressed.

I'm voting FlexiStudio. So THERE. 

"easier to understand younger user"

YAY exactly my point!

We don't talk like that 

You don't, steppen!!! 
I mean OTHER Scratchers running. They might try to act older and more important, I mean.

1. Who actually types like that on a kid's site?
I understood that perfectly. 2 years ago I would've too. That proves nothing.

2. What about a 13 year old mod, huh? (again, down with the 14 yr old rule, it's stupid IMO)

3. You just said younger mods are better. Vote against the 14 yr rule!

Someone might. You never know 
And I don't agree with the rule either; there are plenty of mature under-14s. I'm just saying, I think Flexi would do a good job because he's mature and to the point. And his Scratch Informer mags are amazing. Really helpful stuff in there. If you read it, you'll see what I mean.

Dude, let it go. The Scratch Team's decision is final.

Besides, this topic should be discussing FlexiStudio's decision of running for mod.

I'm voting FlexiStudio. Who else?

I definitely will - FlexiStudio is an integral part of the community who was contributed so much 

I think that too. His informer news thread is really good. Have you seen it? It's really good for new AND experienced users!

If it becomes the #1 suggestion, it's probably gonna happen.

Not true - it's a definite final answer, at least for the time being. I can say with complete confidence that it won't be changing in the near future. I'm afraid this is one of those things that won't be changing just because people want it to; quite similar to the "be respectful" rule and the TOU.

Thank you coolstuff for your kind comments, and yours to Dancing_Donut! I'm really glad you guys have my vote and are taking me seriously.    Anyway, Scratchers Inforumer #4 will be released when the news on the elections is, so stay tuned!

Why wouldn't we take you seriously? 
Some of the other candidates are getting really pushy, but you seem like, um, you're pretty cool about the whole thing. That's a good thing, because mods can't really be easily stressed, or frustrated. 

I'm just taking it in my stride, and if I'm not chosen then, there's always the next elections to look forward too. Besides, it's an experience; and I'm out to help - and hopefully this will help me to achieve my goal.

Yeah, the InForumer is boosting your chances too. 
Best of luck anyways. I'm gonna upload my project now.

Give one reason why not. Without this, there would be chaos. Without the 14 year limit, there would not be chaos.

I can't imagine how adding such a rule would create chaos, as much as removing the rule would.

To state it again, The Scratch Team is not comfortable with those under 14 running for moderator. It is similar to how a parent doesn't want to expose their kids to certain things, even if the child does feels they are capable of handling such content.

The Scratch Team does think the age limit does have some cons in some ways, but, considering what moderators have to go through and the options available, the age limit was the best compromise they could come up with - they would rather have the age limit rather than have younger users handling the content that moderators have to handle at times (even if they, the younger users, appear to be mature enough to handle it).

Lastly, this argument is spilling over where it should not be - this is FlexiStudios' campaign thread. Please move this conversation over to the appropriate thread on the Announcements forum.

Best of luck, fellow runner
