What date did you register as a CS member?: Sunday October 24, 2010

How many posts have you made in the forum: 12,513 currently

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 7 days a week, I rarely miss a day unless I'm on vacation or if the power is out. I'm also homeschooled, so that gives me a bit more time to be on than if I were in public school. cx

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: I'm on CS almost literally all the time, in the mornings, late at night on the ipad, and in between. I can hardly go a few hours without checking my posts, messages, and Oekaki.

Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them: I have not, but I have been the owner of a few adoptables which I have to moderate x

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?: Definitely, I use it all the time! It's been a huge helper with my art, I don't think I'd still really be into drawing if I hadn't of found this place.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?:: Yes, I love seeing the new art. I spend a lot of the time in beginners, though I also often visit the other forums. The Oekaki boards is where I spend most of my CS time!

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?: I've been a member for so long, I'm in the Oekaki a lot, so I thought it was time to help you guys out as well as the members and I believe it's a fantastic opportunity. c:

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I tend to respond to threads rather quickly, I've been an artist in Oekaki for some time so I now know what skills it takes to be in Intermediate and advanced. Art theft for me isn't very hard to spot it out since I've seen most of the art people have made throughout the years. I'm also a member of Deviantart, so I've often ran into somewhat disturbing artwork, although it doesn't bother now like it used to.

Best of luck to the other members! c:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I normally visit CS about 5-6 days a week.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Roughly 2-9, depending on how busy i am.

I also own an adoptable species here on the CS Oekaki and I am the main person whom moderates there. (Link: viewtopic.php?t=2149129)
Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw? Yes. I use the Oekaki on a regular basis and i am quite familiar with it.
Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there? Yes. I tend to browse the Oekaki boards every 2-3 days to see the new art posted.
Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS? I have a love for art and i would love to be able to help others in the oekaki.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position I am a strong with team work and with helping. I am a kitchen manager at my job so i am regularly helping people and giving advice. I feel this is a skill that could come in handy as a moderator because I would be having to help others as well as know how to work with others (in case its needed).

I am also an art major in college right now. I have taken 2 drawing and painting classes, as well as a design 101 class. I know what is and isn't appropriate when it comes to art (such as nudity and violence) and i also have a vast knowledge of proportion, shading, and realism.



Thank you for this opportunity, and good luck to everyone whom applies.

I'm a *Professional* Digital Artist, I've used many programs including Photoshop, Gimp, Sai and of course Oekaki. I also have a very keen eye on spotting things, I'm also used to spotting forms of tracing as I was taught to in my art classes in highschool.

Good luck to everyone else!! <3
Thanks for the opportunity Tess!

I also feel that I am a friendly and approachable person, and really love to have a good ol' chat or just joke around C: I also really love art, which I feel is a plus.


Good luck to everyone!

If I didn't post this, I'd regret it. I don't like living with regret, so here goes.

• What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 6 months ago, do not apply)
  
  March 23, 2009
• How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
  
  This post will be my 12,078th post.
• How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
  
  Every day, bar any rare mishaps that take away my Internet connection.
• How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
  
  At least eight hours, usually more.
• Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them
  
  I am an admin on the Goennec roleplay forum here, and did some moderating as needed when it was active - it honestly didn't really call much for an admin outside of decorating the boards. They were well-behaved folk. c:
  Also, if it counts, I've taken care of some threads on CS, such as Pound of Hope and, more recently, Jefferson Starships, just to name a couple.
• Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
  
  Oh, goodness, yes. ^^; I've used it many, many times, even if I'm not the most magnificent artist out there. c:
• Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
  
  Of course. I love looking at art and admiring the skill and improvement on here. <3 I post more on "Created Pets", but I check out all of the boards when I find myself in a lull during the day.
• Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
  
  I would like the job because I think I'd be an asset. I'm in the Oekaki boards so much anyway, I'm online for ages at a time, I've got an eye for fishy art theft business, I'm extremely well-mannered on the site and I'm a hard worker that can take a lot. I'm no perfect storm to magically sweep the boards clean entirely by myself, but I can give it my very best shot and see where I land.
• Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example have you had any experience in peer mediation? Have you had a ton of experience using the oekaki program?)
  
  As far as moderation or mediation, I've always been one people have turned to for help. As a kid all of the way up through college, I was the one who helped people with their worksheets and projects, sharing what knowledge or labor I could to make their work easier. Since high school, I've also become that friend who always has a listening ear and a ton of advice for resolving conflict. I've had a note in my signature for years welcoming anyone who needs help to contact me, even if I'm not a mod, and I've been contacted often by people looking for assistance. I'm a giant, living reference book for anything from law to relationship management to the arts all the way down to rules on various websites, including CS, and it's proven to be really helpful for a lot of people.
  As for the Oekaki, I'd say I'm between "decently" to "quite" experienced. I've done quite a few of Oekaki works - I believe my gallery's on its 24th page - and I can get around the program very well at this point, at least enough to help out a good portion of people. And I'm always learning, so I expect that to only get better with time.

**As a final note, if chosen to become an Oekaki Mod, I'd be happy to hang around and help the new Fanart Archivists gain their footing. <3 It's the least I could do.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I visit Chicken Smoothie about everyday unless illness or other concerns prevent me from getting internet access.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
I would say I average about two to three hours on Chicken Smoothie on a weekday, and three to four hours on a Saturday or Sunday. As a high school student I put my studies and outside concerns first, however, Chicken Smoothie takes up a large portion of my free time. I've quit spending time on other websites as I am trying to become more active in the CS community.

Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them
I have not moderated on a forum site, however, I have plenty of experiences running and managing roleplays, (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) moderating and designing Oekaki adoptables, (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) and even opening an artshop (19) (the majority of commission requests now come through PM when I open them). I'm considering website administration as a future job, and would be glad to have some experience with websites such as Chicken Smoothie.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
All the time! I currently have 682 drawings in my Oekaki gallery, and CS is one of my favorite places to draw on. My newest posted picture was uploaded on the 3rd of March and I am currently working on an Oekaki drawing this morning.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Definitely. The Oekaki is the main reason that I am active on Chicken Smoothie. While I collect the pets and occasionally roleplay, my main interest lies in CS's art community. My current goal is to keep working hard and get my art bumped up from Intermediate to Advanced. ;D

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
Being an Oekaki moderator would be such an amazing experience for me, and while I know it may result in some stress and eat up free time, I know I'll enjoy it. This would be a good experience to develop time management skills that I will use in the near future as I apply for jobs. I believe volunteer work like this will really set me up well, as the careers I'm looking for are currently are in the digital art/animation/graphic design/website administration/web design niche. While I'm on Chicken Smoothie everyday, I'm sort of just lingering, as most of the threads I participate in have slowed down a bit. I will treat my volunteering on CS professionally, and devote what time and skills I can to help keep the CS Oekaki a welcoming and safe website for young artists.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?

I have many attributes that would make me an excellent choice for Oekaki moderator. To begin, I'm an experienced and constantly improving artist. I'm enrolled in a challenging art class at school, and spend all of my free time doing one of four things: art, writing, keeping in touch with friends, or going on Chicken Smoothie. (The Chicken Smoothie visiting and art usually overlap, as I like to draw on the Oekaki.) I can offer constructive and helpful advice to any aspiring artist, and I would be able to sort misplaced pieces to the appropriate board. I'm a compassionate and respectful person, and treat others kindly. I would never be rude or bitter with another, and if a user was snapping out at me or being disrespectful, I would step aside and contact an older moderator to help me out. I can thankfully say I've never gotten into a physical or verbal fight, and I tend to be the "peacemaker" among my peers and friends. I have experience with a good amount of digital art programs such as Gimp, ChibiPaint, Photoshop Elements, and Paint and know how to use the technology to create amazing pieces of artwork.

The only thing I will not be able to offer to this position is an extensive amount of time to volunteer. As much as I would like to devote several hours a day to a position of an Oekaki moderator, I live a very busy life that involves honors and AP classes, music rehearsals, art practice, social events, family matters, and such. Realistically, I will not be able to spend more than one to two hours a day working for Chicken Smoothie because of outside commitments that must come first in order for me to set myself up for college. (However, in the summer this will change, and I will gladly be able to spend more time on the Oekaki boards. =D )

Aside from that, I would absolutely love to monitor Chicken Smoothie's Oekaki. I see myself as an experienced and respectful user, and this job is a perfect fit. I'm very flexible and look forward to this position. Thank you for this opportunity, and I look forward to see our new Oekaki moderators!
