I will keep my profile comments open and let anyone make a suggestion.

Scratcher or New Scratcher. 1000 posts or 1. Everyone is equal.

How often will you release activity checks?

Probably about once a month, more frequently if people seem to be inactive

What will you do if I become inactive (this question is important because of the fate of the USS)?

Ask the person with the first post by someone else to change it to a link to a new (temporary) front page until you are re-active

.

How strict will you be on members?

I won’t be too strict but I will make sure people follow the laws

What will be your first law to propose as president?
To get all members of SPA keep their partnership list updated.

How much will you notify people on their profile for?

I will notify people on their profile if they don’t respond to activity checks. Because Scratch sometimes doesn’t keep people updated I will not be too harsh.

Why should people vote for you?
I have had experience and I will let Everyone have a say because everyone is equal!

How active will you be, and what will you use that active time for?

I will be on most days, I will not spend all of my time on SPA, but I will go on frequently.

How have you helped the SPA in the past?

Because I only recently discovered SPA, I haven’t helped SPA in the past. I hope that people will give me a chance to help SPA in the future

If you could describe the SPA in less than 100 words to somebody who owned a shop what would you say (please actually write it)?

A friendly community, a way to get a shop noticed and a proper organisation. It is run by a great scratcher, just like all the great shops and scratchers involved. It is full of variety.

What do you like about the SPA?

It is a friendly community; everyone helps each other out.

What experience do you have in roles like this?

I have represented my year at school twice; one time, before I started Scratch, I had been voted in over about half my class.

Is this the last question?

I hope so, otherwise some of it has become invisible!

Deputy: @muellly
Secretary: @PumpkinSpiced

I am python_megapixel, and I would like to explain my values and plans for this election. Me, my deputy and my secretary all have experience in shop ownership. When I reviewed the shops of my Deputy and Secretary, both received extremely close to full marks.

First of all is the most important point. I believe that the SPA should be totally inclusive. I believe that the only way newer Scratchers can get a foothold in the community is if they can participate in the same things that everyone else can. That means no restrictions on countries, ranks, number of posts, number of followers or anything else. The only restriction that would be needed is whether they have a shop that meets the speed and quality requirements. And since we already provide free reviews, it would be easy for them to get to this stage.

But it's not just keeping our existing values. I also plan to introduce an advertising network where Scratchers can elect to show ads in their forum signature in return for benefits, for example, feedback on their projects. Another plan is profile comment notifications (yes, I'll be keeping my profile comments open) for important things, so members can get the information they need, more quickly. And I'll respond to questions via comments too.

I also aim to keep the SPA active by inviting new shops to join regularly and organizing collaborations between shops, enriching what member shops can offer and presenting the SPA as an active, open organisation.

I hope I have persuaded you to consider voting for me in the upcoming election.
