8.Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?:
I love art! I've been drawing for ever really and it's hard to stop me from drawing, I like to help others with some kind comments & like to give tips to others also. I'm a really kind person and have always loved to help others out no matter how many times I have to repeat things over and over again.

I can speak several differn't languages& have always loved art and being able to help others. I'm a kind person and don't mind helping others out, no matter how many times I would have to repeat things over and over again, I can keep calm. I have also had many times with younger people that may need advice over and over again to help them get it after awhile. I also enjoy doing art, I'm normally always found on the Oekaki either drawing, veiwing others artwork, or commenting on others art that I like/love. I'm use to helping people out every day as it is one of my minor jobs in the Real world. I also am use to staying calm when someone gets mad at me and much has changed since I was younger. I also enjoy helping out others, solving problems and much more helpful things that may come in use for becoming one of CS's staff members.

Thank you for your consideration & best of luck to everyone else!

1027 in total
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
6-7 days
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Usually 1-4, but I have days where I am on for 6-7.

Sadly, no. I have never moderated for Chickensmoothie, but I do have some experience from other sites.
6.Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes, but have never saved anything due to my constant need of perfection in my artwork.
7.Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
I browse the Oekaki board for about 10 minutes to a couple of hours several times a week.
8.Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I am homeschooled, so I have lots of extra time on my hands that I like to spend online and I think I could really devote that time to moderating the Oekaki boards. I am very calm under pressure and have been told that I am a very good problem solver. I can quiet a room and bring people together fairly easily. I'm not over sensitive and can tolerate undesirable behavior. I'm up to date on almost all the newer computer programs and technologies. I believe I could really contribute to making the Oekaki boards protected from art theft and rude critiques.
9.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
I am very skilled in peer mediation. Throughout high school, I have been faced with many bullying problems and have learned how to solve them. Whether the problem being mine or someone else's, I am always finding a way to help out. I am known for being able to help people meet a common ground. I also have a good amount of computer knowledge and literary skills. I am familiar with HTML and CSS code. (I love to write and design, no matter the subject.)

***Thank you for reading and considering my application. Best of luck to all others who apply!***

What date did you register as a CS member?: October 8th, 2008
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 2255 - Not that many, seeing as I left for two years.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I usually check every 5-6 days.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I need to count? ;n; A lot. Like, on weekends, I'll spend my whole day online.
Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them Nope, sorry!
Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw? Yup.
Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there? I love browsing the intermediate board and the Competitions board.
Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS? I feel as though Chicken Smoothie has been having a difficult time differentiating intermediate skills from beginners. I enjoy criticizing art (but don't worry, I'm not harsh! <3) and viewing it. I really dislike when rules are broken, even on a children's site such as this. I also feel like too many oekakis of purely CS fanart is being featured when you could feature different styles or artists that deserve some recognition.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)? I'll admit, I have people skills. I love love love to talk, despite my mediocre post count. I usually browse the various xats to see how some members are, since they seem to have more freedom expressing their... Well, annoyances. I also browse Tumblr to see if there's anything I can contribute to make the site better. <3

Yes, I have, I admit, i'm not great at drawing but I sure do practice and keep my sketchs.
Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Yes I do, when I need to pass time, or simply in interest, My favorite is to visit the Competition boards, it is fun to enter for me.
Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I think it would be a good advantage for me, I have spent time and help with users on my chatsite and wish to improve.
I take great interest in art, I plan on taking a college coarse in digital art, for right now I am a student in progress learning anatomy and the bone structure of animals. I do have lots of time on me to moderate for the Oekaki Boards. I am good at giving people a brief instruction or help on things they need assistance on. I'm almost daily checking announcements/dates. I guarantee I would make the best out of my benefit to keep the Oekaki boards safe and appropriate. I also have alot of experience of the Oekaki board. It would be an honor too join the team. I love encouraging people and watching people draw.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I'm really good with HTML's, BBCodes, and as I mentioned, i'm very good at handling patience and distress of users. Also, as I said I am very experienced with the Oekaki board. I also can connect with people and have them understand and have full comprehension of whats going on, and the rules. I know to take someone elses opinion not personal, its there side of the view of me, also, I don't get upset or distressed easily, i'm a mellow person.

Thank you for your time.

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 6 months ago, do not apply)

I registered for Chicken Smoothie on May 14, 2012, meaning I have been on here about ten months or so.

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

1,014 times currently.

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

I log on almost every day.

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?

Well, I'd say about 6-8 hours a day.

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

Well, I have been administering for some sites, if that counts, but they are shut down now because it was inactive, sadly.

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

Yes, I have.

7.Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?

Yes, I do. Usually, I just look around in people's galleries, too.

8.Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?

Well, I feel that I want to be a help to the Chicken Smoothie community. I want to keep the rule-breakers out of CS, because this is one of the greatest websites that I've ever been on, and I want to keep it safe for everyone else to view. I want the users to know that there are people there that will listen to them, and help them fix their problems on CS.

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

Well, I am a somewhat good artist and I use the Oekaki every maybe...3-4 days of so?, and I once was a peer mediator in elementary school, but that's pretty much the only experience I had with that, though.

1. What date did you register as a CS member?:

30th of October in 2009

2. How many posts have you made in the forum:

12464 & is rising!

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

I visit every day! Unless there is some special occasion or I am Ill (But I usually use CS to escape my illness anyway >.>)

4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?

I will be online for at least 2 hours maybe more. On weekends I usually spend the entire 2 days online (I often get in trouble for being online so often XD).

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

I have moderated on 2 sites (that I can plainly remember) and that was Paws - they were an adoptable site as is CS and we often had to deal with art issues but we did not have an Oekaki board/drawing board. I also begun my own site which slowly died out called 'Shadow Puppets'. It was based around Roleplaying. I do apologies for not being able to supply a link.

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

Have I ever! Oekaki is what I pretty much live on... My tablet doesn't draw on Sai (don't ask why... It just doesn't and annoys me so much :C) and I do not have PSE so Oekaki is my best option. & What an awesome option!

7. Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?

Always. I love looking at my favourite artists and artists i've never seen before! It's so interesting to see what people respond to (in adoptables) as well, same with Beginner & Intermediate drawings. There is so much support from the community in inspiring to keep users drawing on Oekaki.

8. Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?

This job is perfect for me. I am always scanning through the Oekaki posts and seeing users accidently post in the wrong area and be asking how to move it! I love helping people and I love Oekaki, so it's a good mix in my opinion! I am very level headed and understanding with some users accidental posting etc. So it would be interesting to work on CS & so interesting to be able to work with so many outragously awesome users. It's been a dream of mine to work on CS, and one of them was being an artist. But I realise that my skills aren't all that adequate for consistantly bring pets to the public, but it is certainly the next best thing! It would be such an experience!

9. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?

I have 1215 oekaki drawings, so I know all about the program & can help anyone who needs assistance with the program. I also know the most often issue with users who are new to the program is trying to figure out how people post in different sections of the forum (ie. taking a picture from beginner to intermediate), and i'm sure I can help with teaching others about this trick, as well as other tricks and things!
I also work in adoptable centers as a moderator/artist;
Woragons ~ Species by WhiteFire Raven (Moderator & Artist)
Chitter Squeek Rattery ~ by Sketch (Artist)

& I also run;
Gift Of Art

But other than that, Thank you for the opportunity!
