[Flicka]

Username + User ID: flicka + 9355
Preferred name + pronouns: flicka/flicks she/her

Have you had any experience in moderation before? If so, please describe your previous roles and responsibilities: I've been a mod for different proboards. (Meerkat Manor rpg, RFW the X series, Naruto Awaken Inside, A meerkat's Life are my longer ones) then there is here where i've moderated Fleafs, Turtle Mania where im a mod and line artist, and I help out Mikki (pixel boxes) and Ashii (Ashii Kitties) with their adoptable threads. I've also helped MegaCherrio with her former pixelbox adoptable Glovecats. I was a wonderful mod for Kiabs (kittens in a bottle) and Im an Artist for Windfarmers Cats. When I get bored and other staff members are overwhelmed I tend to ask if they'd like some help. I've been a longtime mod for Marble Cats, an artist for Volcara. Also I'm an admin of a popular warrior cats page. I also became a mod for starcomfy’s, I rolled explore for Katte.

In situations where someone in the community may be experiencing harassment or bullying, how do you typically approach the matter? I ask the person to stop, if they do not follow the warning either from me or other staff then it’s punishment time as they were warned prior if their behavior did not cease there would be consequences.If this doesn’t deter them, then a harsher punishment. And then if this doesn’t work banning usually.

How do you balance the importance of enforcing community rules with the need for open discussion and diverse perspectives?

Usually, I can spot and take care of most problems before other staff have to get involved. But in those times where a different staffer is involved and one of those tough costumers become a problem I get sent in to deal with them 8/10 times and resolve the issue, If I get called in, there’s usually a discussion of what was going on; How the other staffer tried to handle it, and how I think they’re thinking/reacting and if the other staffer is ok with me intervening on their behalf as well as my plan of action. Also, while I don’t post often I tend to be an extremely active lurker. And I’m Neurospicy so I tend to see things from this perspective where non neurospicy staff may misunderstand.

Thank you for your moderator application!

We'd love to have you on board and join the team. It's great to hear about your previous experience with proboards, Fleafs, Turtle Mania, along with your other current and previous roles in said threads.
(Loved Marble Cats back in the day!)

While we're not currently promoting the Discord, it is still the best place to communicate with the other staffers. As it seems you're already on there, I'll add you to the staff list momentarily, if you'd like to take the time to look around.
