Scratch

I've added this too the wiki!
Sounds fun, but I can't run.

Good luck to those who do!

LOL Sparks, HTML doesn't work in the forums! Where were you beforehand? 
You would moderate Misc? This is actually one of the rare times I've seen you of Advanced Topics.    People can change though. 

Maybe in a couple years I'll run for mod... I turn 13 in September but I don't think I'd want to moderate at this time. I'm happy with my current roles. 

Where did I use html and where did I say anything about "outposted, outposted"? For that matter, what is outposted? 

You raise a valid point, however, I don't spend much time in Misc, but I'm perfectly happy to

You used the <i> tags.
And the outposted is you said

It's great to see people ... falling over each other to help out ...

Someone has to get outposted then. 
Outposted is when someone else answers the question before you. Usually outposting is not more than a couple minutes.

Feedback for my speech, please? :3

That was brief, like your curator application. 

In the T of your acrostic (which is pretty neat BTW), you put an S instead of an A.

xD Yeah, the curator application is only, like, half a page! ;__;

And oops! Thanks for pointing that out ^^; And thanks!

Results will be announced Friday, July 22, after which we will begin the confirmation process with the parents of the candidate with the highest number of votes.

Elections will happen on Thursday.

I have been a a constantly positive contributor in the Scratch Community, for 4 whole years, and counting  . To start off, I have participated in all of the Scratch Day events at MIT, and I am an administrator/bureaucrat Scratch Wiki (over 1,200 contributions so far)! In addition, I've been a valuable helper on the Scratch Forums (the one you're looking at right now - over 5,000 non-spam posts!). But most importantly, I have made many different projects (varying from animation to games, even some made in collabs), and have posted 3,000+ of constructive comments on others' projects, giving good feedback. As far as group work experience, I do participate in Prism, a collaboration of 10 scratchers to make high-quality projects.

So why do I specifically want to run for moderator? I feel that despite all of the work of the current moderators, there's still work to be done, and there are many periods of time when I see that no moderators are online to help give feedback and prevent spam on the forums - so I would be a helpful moderator to fill in the gap. In addition, I would serve as a great role model in the community, as I show that even though I have had my mistakes in the past (no bans though), I have gotten better and have regained much of my reputation, and am a very positive Scratcher, giving good advice to Scratchers of all ages and knowledge, with all-around experience.

Also, I am very active on the community usually on at least 1-2 hours each day.

Do you really think you have a high edit count on the wiki? JK, most people don't have even a thousand, much less my 5000! ^^
Yes, I've also noticed lots of times where no mods are on but spammers are. After the first few, I just report that they should ban them. 
I'm often on more, but I shouldn't be.

Don't worry Luc, I'm not trying to put you down. Just my opinions on stuff. 
Just wondering; how old are you?

Haha, yeah my edit count isn't as impressive as you, as I kind of focus on the community portal (making sure you guys are making the right decisions and such), but mine's certainly noticeable. Thanks for your opinions anyway!

And my age you ask? Well I'm old enough to become a Scratch Community Moderator, that's what I'll say.

I wish mine was lower, but I was told no about lowering it...
Yep, I know what you do.

Would you run if you weren't?    I'll guess 15 or older.

He is less than 15 

I've met him IRL
