Summer 2011? Thats around now right....

I think it will be near the end of July. Like my birthday time. 

I would like to run.  Im 14 and ive been on for almost two years now.  Since about a week ago,  ive been going on the forums almost every day.

I vote for ProgrammingFreak... I do NOT want to run though.

I can run.    .  Although parental permission.    They wouldn't think I'm resonsible enough, because I don't do extra homework.  Kinda not smart on their part, I do do the homework I am set, but they are all like 'You won't be smart if you don't do this.  Not the smartest.

Election is soon 

how old do you have to be? i've always wanted to be a mod.

All the requirements and guidelines can be found here. 

Edit: Hmm, I checked the page and it said you have to be 13 or older by the month of the election instead of 14. Is that just a typo or has something changed?

I've never seen anything about a change, so I guess it's a mistake? :S

(Oh yeah, I think someone mentioned once that part of the reason for choosing 14 as the age limit was due to some U.S. laws about kids and such... so unless that's changed too?)

Eh I'm quite sure it's still 14 

Sadly, im only 11 and a half and im not 6 months old. I wish 2 weeks counted. X3

They lowered it to 13 for the sake of increasing the candidate pool.

Regarding the age limit: There are still some concerns to be addressed, as some parents might not be comfortable with younger moderators (I've seen at least one active parent on the site who expressed concern over the idea of those younger than 16 being moderators back when the 14 year age limit was implemented); the age thing might still be up in the air...

On a tangent note to this, you will still need your parent's consent (The Scratch Team usually talks to your parents directly by phone or Skype as confirmation), so I would suggest that you have it before applying to be a moderator (you never know if your parents might object to you holding a volunteer moderator position).

wow. the guidelines are really lame. its just a site you dont really do anything special as a mod (do you???) except help people. its not like you need parental permission to help others.

yea im 13 so im not just complaining cause i'm too young.
