APPLICATION
What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 6 months ago, do not apply) June 7, 2011
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) 3146
Without posting your actual age, are you old enough to apply for this position?: (Do NOT apply if you are 17 or younger, no excuses.) Yes, I am.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Usually one to one and a half in the morning before work and then a few (at least 3) in the evening actively. Normally I leave the CS window open all night until I go to bed and pop back over to check every once in a while.
Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them Yes, I have but honestly those sites have been shut down for some time now. I used to be a Moderator for a site called Pine Ridge Herding Please Click To Go.
Have you participated in many roleplays outside of CS before? If there's any places in particular, please link to them. Normally I participate in 1-on-1 roleplays via Instant Messenger or e-mail, but I have always been an active role-player in literate RPs across the web. Most of the places I used to role-play have shut down, or are no longer active, but I've had over a decade of experience in Moderating, and participating, in role-plays.
Have you participated in many roleplays on CS before? I have not, but that is mostly for the reason that I usually find someone to RP with and take the RP to Instant Messenger or e-mail so that we can catch one another online and role-play much more frequently that way.
Why do you want to be a roleplay moderator for CS? I love being able to help people, and being a Moderator is a position that I am familiar with and very comfortable with. I have taken a look through the role-play forums a number of times and have noticed that they seem to be a little bogged down (nobody's fault obviously, although hence why you're hiring new Mods I'm sure) and I would love to be able to help bring them to a more orderly fashion.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example have you run your own roleplay website before, or have you had any experience in peer mediation?) Since the late '90's I have successfully built and run half a dozen text-based RP sites. I kept 4 of those sites going for over 3 years myself before handing over the reigns to some of my more trusted Admins to run. Those sites have since shut down (they were never very fancy or anything, I'm not a coder haha) but I have a great deal of experience for a Moderator role. I also have a fair bit of experience in Peer Mediation (chosen as one of 6 from my high school to be a student mediator from 10th to 12th grade; plus familial history of Social Workers ((parents)) and learning from them).
