Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
I'm not a great oekaki artist, I'm better at pixel artwork and writing, but I do know quite a bit about how the oekaki works, and have actually helped people out with their artwork before.

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

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

Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them
I am an admin here, if that counts. I was a moderator on both of the links here found here, but I quit some time ago. I am also an artist on here

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes. I have made a total of 193 drawings.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there? Yes, I quite enjoy seeing other artists testing their talents on the Oekaki. I also give tips and friendly critiques to those in need.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I love the Oekaki - art in general - and I wish to become an artist off of CS too. Art is my hobby; I am constantly sketching and drawing my thoughts onto blank canvases such as the Oekaki. I also visit the Oekaki very often. However, I have seen some drawings that need to be removed or locked (such as art theft drawings, inappropriate drawings, or drawings that simply aren't drawings; only writing).

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 have lots of experience in peer mediation and using the Oekaki. I am always testing shades and highlights and textures.

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: Tue Oct 20, 2009.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum: 7353.

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

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 3-4. More on weekends.

5.Have you moderated on any other forums before? No, not particulary or that i can remember recently. Though I am an artist for quite a few topics in the oekaki boards and do my best to re-inforce the rules.

6.Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw? Yes, I use it very frequently.

7.Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there? Definitely, it's one of my most visited places as well as posting there myself.

8.Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS? I really love to draw, discuss, observe and help out when it comes to art. Before I knew about anything else on CS( when I joined in 2009), oekaki was my priority and the one board I loved visiting, commenting on and getting advice myself. I would, simply put, enjoy helping others and doing the best I can to teach other players the rules of art and art theft. Strangely I've always liked inforcing rules in their own right too, at the same time being that approachable kind of person that players are not afraid to message and I always offer help as best and as soon as I can, I would love a job like this and would happily do what is required.

9.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: Definitely, in my life outside of CS for example, I did course for a year in communication and confidence building when talking to others as part of my school's programmes. I've learned how to communicate with others well and have never been one to snap at people (or fellow players) or act in any way biased when it comes to solving misunderstandings. When it comes to Oekaki, I have made a few minor mistakes way in the past as I was very new to this type of website or the virtual world of art, but I have learned from those mistakes and now notice them better myself. I feel I can notice these sort of little things, especially innapopriate art or art theft as they have happened to me in the past, as I'm sure to many, I'm able to handle these situations or issues well and can persuade others to see the right point of view.
I'll do my very best if given this position.

Thank you!

What date did you register as a CS member?:

I joined November 1st, 2011.

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

1202 at the time of writing this.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:

I am on Chicken smoothie every day of the week. I rarely have days that I cannot make it online.

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

Generally 12 hours or more, starting from about 9am and getting off to sleep anywhere around 11pm-3am. I have lots and lots of time to devote to CS and moderating if I do get chosen.

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

Not so far. I really would like to though, I love being helpful.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?:

I've drawn with the oekaki many many times, Whether it be making an adoptable design, or drawing my characters or really anything I feel the need to draw. I have several works that I have made, but not yet shared, and there are definitely more to come in the future.

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

Yes! Browsing through art on the oekaki is one of my favorite things to do on CS. The intermediate board is especially fun to look through, as seeing all the incredible works inspires me to work on my own skills.

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

First of all, I have been dreaming of helping out CS for a long time. It's one of my favorite pet sites to visit, and being staff on a site I love would be a great honor. And what's more, art is my passion. I want nothing more than to get a carrier in the arts as soon as possible. My class notebooks are filled with traditional doodles and my USB is filled with Digital works of mine from all years and programs. Mixing a site I enjoy spending most of my time on, and what I love doing most, it doesn't get any better than that! I also want to help other artists keep their works their own by tackling art theft. Being an artist myself, I know having someone else take the credit for something you worked very hard for is devastating and frustrating. I want to help make CS a place where artists don't need to put watermark after watermark on their art to keep it theirs.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:

I have used the Oekaki many times for many drawings in different places. Up until I got my own laptop, it was the only drawing program I would use, so I know my way around the tools and the program itself. I am a trained Peer Mediator, and have been a part of my school's Peer Mediation program for 4 years and counting. I am very mature and am not fazed by gore, and other potentially inappropriate content. I can and have dealt with people who have broken the rules on my own threads, and can stay kind and civil even under personal attack. I've read the rules of the Oekaki boards multiple times as well, and I know them inside and out.

Thanks a ton for the opportunity! ;w;

Mary Sue but it hasn't been around to long but I have had to give out warnings already sadly.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes I have quite a few drawings here and am adding more x3

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Yes that is where I go to first usually I look at all the form and I reply to quite a few

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I would like to be a CS oekaki moderator because I have been seeing more and more drawings of just writing and I know that is against the rules >.< and I believe I could really help keep the art that doesn't belong there off cx {I'm sorry if that didn't make any sense.

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?)
Yes I have had a lot of practice with Oekaki but I don't post all my art usually I am just doing it for practice but since the time I joined I learned a lot about the oekaki program and I know many ways to help people through the problems

Hrmm hard to say but more than likley around 7-8 hours. depending on the day, and even then more than likley more.

A couple of times, i've 'co' modded forums. Of which no longer exist or are active. Most of them where years ago on warrior cats forums which did involve art moderation.
edit;;
I found a couple of a the sites which are not longer open & the group that I help moderate.
group
Im Braveleg.
Other than that most the sites had been shut down because the site owner stopped 'paying' for the page to be kept up, thus it was eventually brought down. I've modded a few Tiny-Chat, chat rooms. I've helped on a few warior cats RPG sites to make sure art was 'appropriate' c: but sadly other than that, theres not much to call forth.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
All the time, <3
as I've said in what I call my 'Get to know me' blurd, Im an apspiring artist. X3 mot good at it, but still
The love and pasion for it is all there. And I hope that it always will be. But yes I do have a few pages of dawings that I've done in Oekaki.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Everyday I do, i enjoy browsing the art and see'ing what exactly is posted there. From beginners to intermediate. I honestly do enjoy it all, especially seeing young artists improve day by day.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I enjoy art, and I find people who moderate or do a job relating to something they like or love, tend to do better. Im not saying thats why I want to moderate the Oekaki forums though. I want to moderate there because I enjoy helping people, and explaining things. Especially in places I love to visit offten, such as the art {oekaki} boards. As well I was once a COPPA'D user, I know how it feels to post there. To wait for something to be approved and such c: Honestly, i'd love to help with that.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position;
Im used to modding with lots of people, I've modded a coupld groups not forums with 2k+ people in the group itself. I can be fairly patiant with people, so per say someone is screaming in caps it wont 'phase' me. I knoa most of the tools in Oekaki, including some that are more 'hard' to get or 'find' as well ouo" I can be fairly calm in bad situations now-a days. ono" not sure what else to mention. oh and as i said earlier, I was once COPPA'D so generally I know where the line stands on what can, and what can't be posted by a COPPA. As well as filtering companants in general. I love art, its just something I can't imagine people hating. c:

1.What date did you register as a CS member?:
February 27th 2012 - I've been on for just under a year (Almost a day under)
2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
3232 Forum Posts
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Usually 6/7
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
2/3 hours
5.Have you moderated on any other forums before?
I have not moderated on any forums - I have moderated on some topics though.
6.Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes, but it was a while ago due to me getting a new laptop, I haven't installed Java yet - I usually entered character competitions due to my freehand oekaki drawings not being too good!
7.Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Yes, I often go on the forums to browse drawings, and comment on them. I usually go to Beginners/Intermidiate Oekaki.
8.Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I would love to be an Oekaki Moderator because I would love to help around the forums, and I love to look on the Oekaki drawings. I enjoy to browse Oekaki Drawings during Free time on CS and being able to help with the forums would be a good opportunity so other users on Oekaki can browse drawings without the forum being spammed with locked topics or topics in the wrong place. I love to go on CS and to help on the forums in any way would be great.I also would not like it if anything not within PG-13 standards was shown to any users under that age.
9.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)?
I know how to operate the Oekaki, so I can be helpful when giving constructive criticism on a drawing - I am also good at keeping private information, so I would not reveal anything that users would feel they wouldn't want to make public, because I know I wouldn't like that to happen to me. I would be good on stopping fights as I like to deal with problems between people in a calm manner and would be good at dealing with arguments as I don't want to have anybody feel stressed while on CS, especially on the Oekaki boards as it is supposed to be centered around appreciating others art-work. I will be good at approving posts on CS because I know what wouldn't be approved on CS, and would only approve posts that approve to those standards. I think I will be good at dealing with Art theft, as I am good at researching and would be good at finding images to see if they are stolen/traced - Im good at learning rules so I can know what is Art Theft and what isn't.
