   January 20, 2009.
2. How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
   21,506

   Yes I am.
4. How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
   I connect on a daily basis

   Forums are no longer in existence, so to all effects I suppose not. ^^'
7. Now the important question: Why do you want to be a moderator for CS?
   I have had some experience in moderating before, and I always enjoyed lending a helping hand. I spend quite a bit of time on CS a day, and I have been a member for a good 2 years now, making me very familiar with the rules of the site. In my previous moderating experiences I learned to deal with younger member's tantrums and helping members to the extent of my abilities, something I would like to be able to do here as well. ^^
8. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation?)
   My first language is Spanish, but I am very fluent in English, so I can communicate with either language speaker with ease. I have also had plenty of experience with trolls in the past, so I have learned how to handle situations like those.

  10672
• Without posting your age, are you at least 18, and willing to risk seeing adult content when screening posts that are waiting for moderator approval: (If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the first post again)
  I'm over the age limit and not easily offended by adult content.

  About four on weekdays and six on weekends.
• Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them
  No, I have not.
• Now the important question: Why do you want to be a moderator for CS?
  I recently became a general helper, and I have very much enjoyed it so far, the position fits me like a glove. But I get lots of requests for help that I just can't help with because there isn't enough I can do and I feel that I would be able to help out more and be more useful if I was a mod. I have a wish to join the CS crew as a real member of the staff. I know that you probably don't want to loose your new helpers so soon but I couldn't resist applying^^'. I'm really very happy as a GH, it's the best thing that has happened to me here so far, so if you rather keep me in the position I'm in (or if you think I make a better helper than mod) I completely understand that, I really don't mind since I love being a GH.
• Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation?)
  I have some experience from my time as a GH, I don't know how much that helps but I get to meet lots of people with questions.
  I don't know if you count this as a skill per se, but I live in the GMT+1 timezone which I is think one of the timezones with lower mod activity, so perhaps it could help evening out the activity during the day.
  My first language is Swedish (I doubt I'll ever need to use that skill here), but I'm also fluent in English.
  I have quite a keen eye for spotting art theft.
  I adapt to new duties quickly and I'm a fast learner who enjoys a challenge.

What date did you register as a CS member?: August 1st, 2010

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 1601

Without posting your age, are you at least 18, and willing to risk seeing adult content when screening posts that are waiting for moderator approval: Yep. Bring it!

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Almost everyday.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 2-5+ hours; I spend most of my time on the computer drawing, with CS almost always open in the background.

Have you moderated on any other forums before? no, nothing significant.

Now the important question: Why do you want to be a moderator for CS? I have a large chunk of free time since I started free-lancing rather than working in a studio. Working at home, I get to have CS open any time I want, all the time. CS is a really interesting site to me, since it's sort of an off-shoot from my childhood hobby of Petz (I'm sure Tess and Nick know!). Petz and CS are the only two sites I visit on a regular basis. I would love to contribute creatively to CS, but since there's already enough artists, I'd take any open job. I just want to be useful, in some way, to something I really get a lot out of. I've already collected all the pets, but there's something here that's always drawing me back. It's just such a neat little community, based on everyone's mutual interest in pixel art and collecting; my kind of crowd.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I don't get bothered by much, but I also don't put up with nonsense. I'd enforce the rules kindly but firmly. I can see things from both sides of an argument, and I always try to be understanding. Above all, I'll always put it into the perspective that "it's just a game"--everyone's here to have fun, I'm not the older teacher with a long ruler to smack people, I'm just a fellow player (only with a rulebook!).

What date did you register as a CS member?:
Aug 15, 2008

How many posts have you made in the forum:
5050 as of 10/8/11

Without posting your age, are you at least 18, and willing to risk seeing adult content when screening posts that are waiting for moderator approval:
Yes.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I log on multiple times of the day, each day of the week. When I am on vacation this might change a bit. Even so I usually log on to my iPod to check up on things.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Usually 4-5 hours, depending on the day. Usually these are hour-long sessions that I spread throughout the day. If there is really nothing that is happening that particular day, the time might be less. However I can be found lurking the forums for an unusually long amount of time.

Have you moderated on any other forums before?
I have moderated several of threads over my years of being a part of CS. Most of them are log gone, and none are really worth noting anyhow. I would have to say it was a bit of a challenge moderating my old thread called Northern Stars. This is the largest thread I've owned/moderated. I think it gave me a lot of necessary experience in Moderation. I also moderate and own the Minecraft Army.

Here are links to some other older, inactive websites and threads:

I also moderate a server on Minecraft. It is extremely busy and I've had to use quick instinct to solve problems. I used to moderate around two or three, but due to a poor Minecraft server connection I only moderate one currently.

Why do you want to be a moderator for CS?
Well, I've always had a drive to make a difference in the CS community, especially if it's helping people out or mini-modding threads and reporting posts that break the rules or are inappropriate for the CS community. As I stated earlier, I spend a lot of my time hanging around the forums. Just recently I have actually been revolving a lot of my time around the General Chat and CS Chat sections. To put it simply, I can be found anywhere. I have a very good understanding at what the rules are on CS. Even though there have been issues in the past, all of them are resolved. On top of this I also want to prevent spam in the forums as well as irrelevant posts. I also have helped many members both new and old with problems or questions. Overall, I want to be a moderator for the good of the community.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
To start, I've also been told I have a knack for keeping things in line, and I think that this would be of use in this position. I can be very serious, and intimidating when I need to be. I have equal respect for all members, and can handle situations with little to no problem. I also know a bit of Spanish, which would help me in case someone who cannot speak English asks me a question or needs help. I am extremely mature and level-headed. I take things very seriously when I have to. But I am still a friendly and normal person. I am also respectful of other members and generally don't get in fights. I will never start an argument or add oil to a fire that's already burning. (Metaphorically, of course). Overall, I'm a kind person and can tolerate thefts, spam, inappropriate images, and everything else the job entails.

7. Now the important question: Why do you want to be a moderator for CS?
I'm not going to lie. I am doing this so I can help the younger members of CS and partly for myself, so I can feel better about helping people, since I'm going into customer service.

8. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediatin?).
The fun cheeriness of a carefree, easy to talk to person who loves to help people and is always calm.

Now the important question: Why do you want to be a moderator for CS? CS is an ever-expanding realm of enjoyable content and hospitable users. It has much to offer people of a wide range of ages. Sometimes it has it's negative moments where an issue arises, but that is the minority of the time. I've been here since early 2009 and have enjoyed every second since I first debuted as Rokubi. Now I'm ~Vizard~ and my enjoyment of this site has only increased. The current moderators do a fabulous job but the expanding CS populous creates a strain on them. I'd be grateful to join the team and assist them in their task of keeping this site as great as it has always been. Keeping the peace and order would be an enjoyable mission that will never be boring. A mod's job really has no start or end point. That's just fine with me. Being on-call every minute I'm on CS is something I am willingly able to handle. It is for the good of our fantastical community. A few duties I eagerly will tackle:

-Spam reduction, deletion, and moderation
-Settling user-to-user and multiple-user spats in an orderly fashion
-Deleting PG-13+ content that goes against CS policy
-Scanning the forums for unacceptable posts and content (signatures, avatars, etc)
-Answering complaints from users having trouble with something important
-Promoting our ever-welcoming environment as it has always been
-Working with other mods to settle issues
-Relocating topics/posts to their proper places
-Locking duplicate threads, against-the-rules threads, full threads, and argument-pit threads
-Anything else asked of me

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation?) Sorry, not really.

Just to let you guys know, we can check and see if you are lying about your age... There were a few already saying they were over 18 and they are not. Please don't lie to us about this.

To those who are saying they have put a 'fake' birthdate - we go by what's on your account.
