I am looking to fufill my dream of being part of the CS staff!
1. What date did you register as a CS member?:
March sixteenth, two-thousand ten.
(March 16, 2010)
2. How many posts have you made in the forum:
Eleven thousand seventy-eight.
(11,078)
3. 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.
4. How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every single day, unless I am extremely sick, super-duper busy, or I have something extremely important going on that I cannot miss.
5. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
On a day that I'm fairly busy, ten hours minimum. On a weekend/day that I'm not busy at all, a good fifteen to twenty hours. I know, I totally don't have a life if I spend that much time on CS.
6. Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them:
I have moderated multiple wolf pack sites that are no longer running. I also moderated on a few topics on CS, and several other sites that are no longer in existance or that I am no longer on.
7. Now the important question: Why do you want to be a moderator for CS?:
It would be so much easier to speak of why I wouldn't want to be one, seeing as I would end up typing about one or two reasons and not multiple huge paragraphs. Ah, well. Where do I begin?
It has always been a dream of mine to be part of the CS team. I have applied for every job opening so far, but unfortunately I haven't been awarded a job just yet. Some may think that some who apply for these jobs want them for the power. But I don't. I simply want to make a difference in the CS world. What with all the inappropriate topics, rule-breaking, etc. around here, I'm not surprised that we need more moderators. It's crazy how many people find it okay to go around and do all these things. I've always been helping out any way I can - Warning people that they are breaking a rule, reporting art thefts/inappropriate topics and posts/etc, and I have found that I have a good ability to help. That's all I want. To help make CS run at its absolute best.
CS is an amazing site. It really is, Tess. I prefer Chicken Smoothie over almost all other forums. Not only are the players welcoming and friendly, but the pets are adorable, the artists are amazing... Tess, you and your team hire the best people for the job and it really does pay off. CS is the site I spend the most time on - Constantly adopting pets, dressing them up, coloring in linearts and drawing, roleplaying, and yet so much more. There is never a minute that I am bored on CS. It is my absolute dream to be a part of the splendorful team that makes all this possible. All you guys, every single one of you from artists to moderators to helpers are extremely important. No matter how small the role is, I'd love to be a part of it. The thing being, I don't find any role small. Even if you are just a helper you are needed to keep this site up and running. I would do anything, absolutely anything, to be able to help out in any way I can, no matter how small.
Even if I don't get the job I will still be continuously helping around on CS, I can assure you that. I was helping long before this job offer came up, and I will continue helping long after no matter if I get the job or not. It would be a blessing to me to get the job and to be considered great enough to be a part of the marvelous CS staff, but not being donned the name of Global Moderator would not get me down enough to stop helping. Even if I can only help one person I would be happy. One person makes a difference. That one person would go on to help another, and that other person would go to help another. It runs in a cycle. But if no one decides to help because they think that one person can't change anything, the cycle won't work. It doesn't matter how small your help to that one person is either. Whether you are telling them how to change the color of their writing or teaching them how to use Oekaki, it makes a difference. I truly believe it does.
What would I give to be a Global Moderator... I would give up all my free time to help out around CS. Difference never sleeps, am I right? Well, I'd have to sleep, but almost all my time would be dedicated to doing my job to the best of my extent. And I am a striving person. I strive for my best and I do not accept giving any less than my best. It makes me feel unaccomplished when I do not give my absolute best, and being unaccomplished is a feeling I don't enjoy, a feeling I will not stand for. A feeling I will work tirelessly to change.
Among many other reasons, those are a few of the main points for my applying to be a Global Moderator. The biggest thing being that I want to make a difference in any way possible, even if it is just directing one member down the right path. I hope that you will be able to tell that my intentions are earnest and that you will appreciate my determination to give out the best help I can.
8. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
I speak Spanish and French fluently, though I am still practicing to get my words right. I have also spoken to classes of young elementary school children about the effects of peer pressure, how to avoid caving in to the negatives, etc. I am very patient and very good at keeping my cool. I don't get angry if I few rude words get thrown my way, and I do not retalitate. I'm a levelheaded person and a hard-worker. I'm very determined and I can be serious and strict, though I'm also fun-loving, calm, and friendly. I've been told by many that I'm a wonderful rolemodel and I love to help in real life as much as I can.
I'm skilled in breaking up fights and a very good problem solver. I am not at all sensative to inappropriate images, words, etc. and I'm quite blunt when it comes to punishing a rule-breaker. However, I am not cruel, and very fair when it comes to my ways. I have a good ability to keep my head above water, even in seas of turmoil, and I don't get frustrated if I have to explain something over and over again or if I explain something and someone still doesn't get it. I'm a gentle person and mature person, though I am no pushover. I don't stand for rule breaking.
I hope that you consider me as a good choice for the job of Global Moderator. It would make me incredibly happy to know that I would making a large difference on the CS forums and it would give me great bliss to see that CS isn't ruined by rule-breakers.
Even if I do not get the job or even get considered for getting it, I thank you incredibly for even giving me the opportunity to splurt out my dreams and my skills to the CS world in hopes of getting this job. If I do get this job, I will have to thank you endlessly for picking me out of the thousands of Chicken Smoothians that long to be a part of the staff as much as I do.
Sincerely,
Red.
