Oekaki Moderator Applications NOW CLOSED, selecting staff

[Thundyfly]

What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 6 months ago, do not apply) November 27, 2012, but I had a different account before. I will check my old email to see if I can find my username. If I do I will tell you ^.^ With that account I was on for about a year
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) 288, but I will be making more! And I had maybe about 875 I think on my other account
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I am always on.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? It depends. Most of the time almost all day unless I have school and I do go outside sometimes.
Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them: I am an Admin on my new forum, but I just made it, so no not really. But I have been watching how the mods work on here
Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw? Yes. Many times
Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there? yes, a lot actually. There are many wonderful drawings on there
Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS? I have always loved to draw and always loved Chicken Smoothie. I am thinking I could do a great job with this because it involves my two favorite things. I always have wanted to be a Mod. Everyone admires them, and I do too. I think they are just so good and I have been watching them
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? Have you had a ton of experience using the oekaki program?) I know a lot about the program and I have younger sisters and brothers that I have to help

Thanks you for considering!

What date did you register as a CS member?;
November 6th, 2011

How many posts have you made in the forum?;
I have made 325, not counting this post here. c:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?;
I visit everyday - in the mornings and after school. I also
like to wander around the site at the times of 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm,
central time.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?;
I spend about, let's see, 7 hours? Sometimes more, it just
depends on the day and the time.

Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them;
I have never moderated any sort of forum. But I believe
I hold the authority and helpfulness of any potential
Oekaki moderator.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?;
I have. I enjoy using it and it's quite easy to figure out.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?;
I do sometimes. I don't, all the time. But it seems
recently I have been exploring the Oekaki - it's not
because of this. I just get distracted easily, frankly.
Although, I try my best to concentrate on what I
want to achieve, no matter what the challenge is.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?;
I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want the bolded,
colorful name title that makes me seem official.
Of course, I do want it like the majority of CS.
But there's other reasons to wanting this
almighty position. I just plain enjoy helping
others out. It fills me with this feeling that
makes me feel, well, useful. Or important.
I admire those who assist those who are
confused and new and I would love to be
able to gain the chance to work with those
very same confident people on the staff.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position;
I think of myself as confident, helpful,
and easy to talk to. I'm a gal who enjoys
humor, but I do know when to stop the
fun and keep a straight face. I'm a
determined person and I usually
try to keep up the fight and refuse
to give up unless the result is favoring
the other side. I'm humble though, and
I always see the reason why another
user was rewarded with this or that
and why I didn't. I learn from my
mistakes as well as others'. I learn
from others' ways and build upon
them to suit me.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
4475

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Everyday of the week.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
It varies between 10 minutes to 3 hours on a good day.

Have you moderated on any other forums before?
No, not much. I've been part of staff on a few failed sites,
including being a administrator of me and my friend's site, but since our site has been going down I haven't done as much as I should be as far as site moderating goes.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes, quite a few times. I quite enjoy using the oekaki and love watching it as you guys develop it.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
I used to spend a lot more time in the oekaki than I do now. Which I'll probably spend more time there than anywhere else when I get back to drawing there.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I'd really like to contribute to this site, and I really love looking at others art. As far as moderating jobs go, this would be overall ideal for me. I have plenty of time to spare since I typically spend most of my day online. I work at home doing commissions on other sites and frequently check Chickensmoothie to have something else to do when I can't draw. I enjoy this site and overall love the oekaki system.

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? Have you had a ton of experience using the oekaki program?)
Particular skills? I haven't spent a large amount of time on this oekaki program, though I am learning something new everytime I get on. I do know quite a few tips, tricks and skills on similar programs like Painttool Sai, Photoshop, Flash, and other artist programs. I'd like to think myself as being easy to get along with. And I have a good sense of humor, so I'm not easily offended. And after almost a year of working as a Waitress I've learned to keep everything I do professional, even if it requires me to pause a moment--step back and take a breath.

What date did you register as a CS member?: I first joined on Tue Apr 17, 2012 4:56 pm.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) I have made 1847 at this point.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I'll be on CS 7 days a week, you can count on that~

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Somewhere between 6-10. I'm on CS a lot, sometimes even until 12 PM at night! School interfears sometimes, but not a lot. Actually, I usually come on CS on interval and lunch break!

Have you moderated on any other forums before?
I was a moderator on a Warriors websight, however the database crashed and the owner was forced to take it down. Since then, I have always wanted to become a mod again, and to help in any ways I can.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes, I have, but not as much as I would like. I usually draw on more complicated places like Pain.net, though I will be drawing a lot more now that I have a new tablet! Yay!

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
I spend most of my time on the Oekaki boards, looking through and reporting rule-breaking posts. I love to admire how good people are at drawing, and wish that some day I can draw that well as well. When wanted, I will help give critique, though usually I am just there to praise and favorite the pictures.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I've always loved to help people out, and it has been my dream to be a moderator.. I have no idea why. Chicken smoothie has always been my favorite game, and I've always stood in the corner, admiring all the staff members on here. Now I think is the perfect opertunaty to stand up and help in the game that I like best. I like to be a leader, and help people out when or where they need it, or just remind people of the rules but doing so in a way that is not like "OMG YOU BROKE A RULE AHHHAHAHA YOU SO BAD". Although at times I may seem stern, I'm rather affectionate and kind. This is a great way to help me get to know more about chicken smoothie then I already know. The Oekaki board is and always has been my favorite, for one, it is one of the few places COPPA can post, for two, there are so many nice people there posting work they can be proud of. I know what it is like to have a moderator comment on your post- very thrilling, and spirit-raising. Being active on all the oekaki boards, I want people to feel the same thrill I felt when that first happened. Having a younger sister myself, I know what is too much when it goes by the way of blood or "Showing too much", so can help people understand what is too much there too.

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? Have you had a ton of experience using the oekaki program?)

1. I have spent many hours in the Oekaki, sometimes just scribbling around and practicing art (These are usually not posted, but kept to myself to see my improvement) so I know where everything is, and what things to.

2. I can be strict/firm, but nice. I'm not afraid to stand up for myself, or other members, but I know when to stop.

3. I am able to cope with a lot of blood and/or mature references. I have Science and Health to blame for this..

4. I love helping others get around, or claim rights when they have been wronged, such as no signature, or copied work.

5. I am fluent in more then one language, even if it is a little rusty here and there.

6. I have been involved with peer mediation. I've helped out a number of people deal with life situations, and are a shoulder for people to lean on if they need it. I have worked with people from the age of 7 through 15 via skype and face book. I've also helped with peer meditation in primary.

7. I've been an Judicator ((Sp?)) in Debate, so I am able to take in both halves of an argument and their points, without looking at my own personal thoughts.

8. I'm on at unusual hours, meaning times that most people are not. This is both an advantage and disadvantage; advantage because it means I can help people out of the hours our American and European mods are usually on, disadvantage because I often miss the most crowded times.

Thank you for reading.

1. What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 6 months ago, do not apply)
I believe nearly two years ago, in May of 2011. Not entirely sure of what the exact date is, but I think it was the 25th.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
10,007. 10,008 including this one.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day. Unless something important comes up, like a family death or a bad sickness, I'll most likely be on. Even if I have sports games or meets, or art or something, I'll usually show up before and after those. :p

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Around three hours on weekdays. On weekends, sometimes I'll literally spends the entirety of the weekend just on CS.

Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them
Yes, but, unfortunately, the sites I've moderated on were deleted. But I was a moderator for:
-Zumbies
-Eternal Flame
-Some virtual cat website

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Oh hoh hoh yes. xD I draw whenever I can, and I'm almost to my 430th CS drawing.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Yup, all the time. In fact, I'm doing that as I type this. xD Honestly, I spend most of my time in the oekaki on CS. It's like my sanctuary. The board I spend the most time on is Sketches and Experiments, and then Colored In.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
Oh, it just sounds like so much fun. Doing what I love most, and helping others with what I love, teaching them about the wonders of the drawing world. :p Helping out CS would also be very fun. But I could also take authority in case some situations got bad.

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? Have you had a ton of experience using the oekaki program?)
Well, I've been using the oekaki since late 2010, when I would draw a little on my sister's account (without posting, though.) so I think I have a good enough amount of knowledge on that. I'm a neutralist (not a pacifist, which is avoiding conflict)) so I don't choose sides, which is good in oekaki arguments over art theft and what-not. And a small one here, but it counts: I don't use text-talk. Hate the stuff. :S
I've been to debates, so that's good for working out arguments. Among my friends, I'm known for being kind and not acting too harshly. Being completely, I have jumped to conclusions before, but I've quickly learned from that, and I don't think it will happen again.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Iv'e made quite few drawing and skecthes before,but i don't use oekaki as much as i use to in the past. I use it
less frequently now,but i still do little art here and there.
Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Yes,Art is kinda of like my life. Bad art is still good art no matter what people say about it. I love giving feedback to artist's. I think it's awesome and very interesting to see other people's styles and techinqes with drawing. I's very interesting how one little detail can just impact the drawing,like shading. The creative of Oekaki help's me on rough day's when i need something to or when i'm writing or drawing. Oekak is that source of inspiration when drawing and watching other chicken smoothian's draw and also it's show everbodys other inspiration and creativeniss for their artwork and styles.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I want to be a Oekaki because i want to help member's the right way when drawing,even new member's.I enjoy answer question's,even if it's the same old,same ol'e, question's that are posted everday. I am friendly approachable person and ,but sometimes i am shy at times and also i'm mature. I can handle tense situation's when someone has posted something wrong and rude that need's to be taken care of or dealt with another moderator.
I won't lose my temper and go nut's at all,i'm not like that. I want to make CS oekaki a fun and enjoyable experience for new member's and old ones,helping people out with their question's, answering question's,fixing art that's in wrong topic or subject. I don't tolerate art-theft or anything realted to that manner. I love to comment on other chicken smoothians art and gives creative idea's and suggestion's to artist's. Also, i think this is wonderful expreience for other chicken smoothian's to.
Do you have any skills that might be useful?
I suppose so. I know a little about oekaki drawing tool's and blending.
I can deal with rulebreak's and problem's that needed to be solved. I don't chooses sides when it comes to when it comes to art theft and arguement's. I know little bit of french and i'm still learning.

Thank you Tess and CS team for taking your time to look at my application and this opportunity.

Good luck to all the other chicken smoothian's and have a good day!.
