I never moderated a forum, but I am up to it. I've mini-mod, though.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes, plenty of times.

Possibly a good 2 - 3 hours, when I'm in a mood to draw.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example have you had any experience in peer mediation?)
Yes, im actually in HS and I got stuck in that class for entire year ..it was boring, but it was worth it. I help out in situations with the students that get into fights in school. If you want to know anything, I can actually PM you what I had to say inorder to get those students to sign agreement contract to not break it or else they wouldn't be to stay in school, they were broken many times before, though. I also have the sweater that says Peer Med with my name on the back^^. I deal with conflicts like this everyday. When school starts, again, I will be back to doing this all over, again^^.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Almost everyday, unless I'm entirely swamped with homework or grounded

Last Resort

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Yes. Even though I'm not very good, I love to go around and like members' drawings.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I want to be able to extend a hand to CS members. There are small, minor things that trouble me sometimes, and larger things that I've had people ask me about. I want to be able to help newer members- and COPPA'D users- understand the functions and things of CS. We were all like this when we joined and needed pointers from older, more experienced members. Now I want to give that back to other CSians.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
Well, I'm a very calm person and it takes a lot to make me angry. I tend to handle things rather well in fighting and rude situations, even though It may not seem like it. Everyone wants to be treated with kindness, no matter how badly they act.

5.Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them

Mini Mod for Liocko’s Adoptables: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=722340 No I have not ever been a moderator, but that doesn't mean I haven't helped out when it was possible. occasionally on forums I would remind people of the rules.

6.Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?: Yes I have been on Oekaki a lot to draw, though most of the time I am entering contests and coloring in free-lineart. But I have created my own drawings on Oekaki in the past. Speaking of Oekaki, I spent over four hours yesterday creating a design to enter in a contest.

7.Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?: I spend a lot of my free time on Chicken Smoothie looking at other people’s artwork and understand their concepts. On average I would spend 2 hours browsing the Oekaki.

8.Now the important question: Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?: First of all I would like to state that I know what it is like to be an artist. For I have been one all my life. Truly being an artist isn’t something you are born with or given as a talent, because if we just take the time and think about it everyone is an artist. Everyone one way or another has taken the time to draw, create or design something extraordinary; out of the ordinary. This comes with pure imagination and wanting to stride for a better life and world.

Sadly in this world not all people see this as to be true. Today people only see artists as people who are better at creating something, designing or understanding a concept better than us. This is a truly wrong statement and shouldn’t be thought of this way. Some people today consider commenting on people’s artwork to be called criticism. The main idea to criticism,

1. Is simply this; criticism is commenting on someone’s work suggesting an improvement of some sort and or speaking about the qualities of the piece.

And over the years of watching people comment on artwork and add suggestions I came to the decision of two responses; the first response is the positive out-look, this is when people who are artists respect other people’s opinions and value their input. This usually leads to a better artist’s creation the next time around. The second response isn’t quiet taken as a positive outlook. The criticism is the same but how the artists’ deciphers it is the real ordeal. Sometimes people see criticism as a bad note their work, like they did something wrong or it isn’t to the public’s likings.

I truly believe that some people see criticism as just that, a non-perfection. This made me realize that even I do admit that before I took the time to realize this I did too feel like response number two. To this notation I realized that instead of trying to please myself, I tried to please all people around me. I took those pieces of criticism and I thought of it as a bad thing.

I know this may seem off topic but it isn’t. The reason I wrote this was because I know what it is like and I understand people’s value in art. But I wanted to really say is that I believe that every person can create and design their own artwork with out all the judgement.

I, Ainki would like to be a Moderator for Oekaki not simply for the observation of the art or the style of the artist but merely for the encouragement of the people who took their time to create such beauties of art. I want to be that moderator that takes their time in posts that takes each piece of artwork and frames it on the wall. I want to be that Moderator that smiles at every person who comments on people’s work. I want to show and help people with their work but most importantly, I want to be a supporter of Oekaki and the arts because it is one of the most priceless jewels on this earth.

9.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example have you had any experience in peer mediation?): There are many overall skills that I can bring, no will bring if I am chosen for this position:

Knowledge of Emotional Stability of Art: In other words, I understand and take both sides of every story. And in doing so I am able to observe and interpret problems. Therefore I am a creative thinker. Also this means that I have obtained from personal knowledge the way of the art-form with experience from observing other artists in the working and people in general.

Artist: Like I mentioned earlier in this forum I am an artist. So I understand and take in the art-forum as a peace of the earth’s culture, but more importantly the people’s hearts, views and ways of life. Because art is one of the only places where people in this world can be free to express all emotions.

-I have also had experience with most forms of art these days; traditional, digital etc. Thought frankly I prefer digital I still like to draw with a pen and pencil. I can take these qualities and help out any people who need assistance with Oekaki.

-I also know some coding with HTML, CSS, Javascript and XHTML, this might become helpful in future use of the Oekaki production as well as being a Moderator. On that note I also am a major in Graphic Design, which also can play an affect into helping out, (like tutorials, warnings etc.) Adding some flare to the system.

People Person: I know and understand that everyone has a different view, and I know that everyone who reads this may not think some of this is true, and that is fine by me. This forum is my opinion and not everyone agrees. But on this note there is a major difference between fact and opinion. In the case of the rules they are fact; in other words they need to be followed.

-I work with people on a daily bases at school and at work. So I get a lot of opinions and friends as well. I don’t believe that people should be judged in the least.

As a last note I would like to say this:

A moderator isn’t just a job it is a responsibility. As a moderator you hold the rules in your hands, you take the time to understand and know perfectly what is at stake. You are strong, labours and encouraging. You take the time to tell people what they have done wrong no matter who it is. If they have gone and broken the rules you punish them according to the rules not your own opinions. And as a Moderator for any site or job you must remember you are not alone and when you are doubt ask someone else, people are here to help.

And truly rules are placed here only to protect you from harm, so don’t hate them embrace them.

Thank you for my consideration and the chance to apply,

Ainki

I was wondering about sharing an account? I share an account, but I noticed Tess replying on the general helpers applications that if both members on the account applied and they were both chosen the account could still become a mod?
I know that the person sharing an account with me has an big interest in art and would want to apply, so would that be alright?
Thank you

you should both put in applications, and you'd have to both be chosen

Bit of a random question, but when you read these applications through, do you bother looking at user's current PMs?

no

(Question, you do not need anymore General Helpers do you?)

no, if we did then we would have applications open for General Helpers


APPLICATIONS CLOSING IN APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS. LAST CHANCE TO APPLY!

I would love to be an oekaki moderator for CS because I feel as though I do check the oekaki forum a whole lot, a bit too much :).

Yes, I suppose so. I am a PeaceMaker (Peer Mediator) at my school, and for several years I have been helping look after pre-school children for a program at my church. Hopefully this will be helpful for my (possible) position.

Now the important question: Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?: I've loved drawing and seeing others' art since I was a child. In the past several months I've grown a particular liking to CS's oekaki system -- the talent people posses here is incredible.

I have worked with computers/technical problems so I could help with any ChibiPaint issues players have.

I speak fluent English and learning German.
