What date did you register as a CS member?:
June 18 2011
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
11058
How many days a week do you usually visit CS, and how many hours do you usually spend per day?
5-6 hours. Scattered through out the day. I'm online everyday of the week unless something serious in my life has taken place such as a medical emergency or serious family crisis.
Have you moderated on any other forums before?
Other Forum, no I have not. But I have mini modded a few roleplay threads along with Holibombs this past Christmas.
HolibombsHave you participated in many roleplays outside of CS before?
I have not. I've spent years roleplaying with my real life friends through notes during classes before I graduated. This site has been great and has a welcoming community, that I haven't explored other roleplay boards or sites. So much so that my family is on here along with a few friends.
Have you participated in many roleplays on CS before?
Yes, I would say more then a decent or even large amount. most of them being with the same group of friends I've made on here. I've dabbled in other roleplays but they didn't last very long, that the thread kind of died out as users stopped posting making it a one on one roleplay.
Why do you want to be a roleplay moderator for CS?
I love roleplaying it allowes you to take on a character and a new light, creating a really great escape from real life. For me, its a way to cope with stress, relax, and just have fun with different people, charaters and storylines. It's so much of a great escape that it shouldn't be affected by fights or rule breaking. I've seen alot of posts that are very close to breaking the rules and going past what I feel is not acceptable to be on a children's site. I've seen and experienced roleplays where the owner takes complete control and makes everyones characters weaker and forcibly submissive to their characters. I would much rather help those being pushed down then activity roleplaying myself. To help keep things age appropriate and improve the overall experience for newer and older members have with joining and running roleplays. I wish to keep that essence of a personal escape, fun and creativity alive on the forums.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I believe I can bring a calm and understanding view to both sides of an argument. To bring an argument on a roleplay thread to a understanding making both sides pleased with the agreement. To know when to lock a thread for being more then so many pages.
Besides the moderating I did in Holibombs, I honestly have little experience in moderating but I'm a fast learner and more then willing to learn. I do not have a job and can not have one due to circumstances beyond my control so my day is always free and I would like a chance to feel like I'm helping and being useful.
Thank you for this oppertunity and for your time.
