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

3,320 posts


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

Practically everyday!


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

I spend at least 2-5 hours on chicken smoothie when I come on during the day (as far as I am concerned), wandering the site and looking at art and the adoption part of the oekaki board. I show a particular interest in the realistic works people upload, and watching new and upcoming artists broaden their imaginations.


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

Unfortunately I have not moderated a site before, but have had a forum of my own that I did watch over but did not quite hit off that I wish it had done so.


Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?:

I have at times, but sadly my art has not quite gone well digitally, especially with a program I am not too familiar with. But that has not stopped me from going across the board to admire everyone else's uploads!


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

I find myself to be a very artsy person, who loves to draw and visualize art at many times of the day and have been drawing since 2005-6 but had been drawing before then, but not as excessive as I am now. I have done quite a bit of time looking around the oekaki board, even gone to the very old pages to see what things were firstly drawn on the board and to look at ones that are not the popular artworks of the month or on the first five pages of the Oekaki Board.


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

I have been a loyal member to chicken smoothie for 5 years and have never looked back. As quoted before, I love artwork and enjoy watching different people drawing and showing off their lovely art skills. I find that I am a kind, friendly, supportive person, who dislikes people putting others down. I have never sworn on here and never bullied anyone, as I find it very unorthodox.

I am skilled in peer mediation where I have been able to help an individual resolve an issue with coming up with many efficient options by which an individual may choose which one they may deem best for their situation. I feel as though I am an easy person to approach and do not judge any individual in any circumstance, especially when only recently meeting the person. I feel that I am to treat anyone the way that they want to be treated. If someone was to verbally bash me, I would keep calm and refer to an admin or a senior moderator if things were to get out of control.


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?): In the world outside of the internet I have been quite successful in helping an individual understand which actions are not acceptable, and also been able to help those in conflict with their own problems and issues with other people and I feel that I could bring those attributes into play on chicken smoothie if given the opportunity.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 5819

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:7, any less is extremely rare for me.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? About 4 on weekdays and usually the entire evening. I do check on using my smart phone at random times during the day and on weekends usually 7-9 hours.

Have you moderated on any other forums before? I have for past websites which are sadly long gone, although have not had any experience working as a moderator for an oekaki board.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?: Yes, although less frequently as of late due to my trusty old tablet finally giving up and am now awaiting my new one! Oekaki is an excellent medium for both sketches and more detailed artwork especially if one is unfamiliar with digital drawing.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?:
Yes! I spend most of my time either browsing the art work making sure that there is no questionable work being submitted and that the references are credited properly but I also use it as a reliable source of inspiration, especially on those days when I am stumped for what to draw.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?: I have both on and off site experience for what you are looking for and I feel that I could be a useful asset to the oekaki team. I have not only been given critique on my own art but also have given appropriate feedback when needed to other artists whilst continuing to be pleasant yet tactful in my responses. I am able to settle conflicts between members calmly and without bias.
I am very familiar with the rules and regulations in regards to art and have the topics bookmarked for regular checking if need be.
Lastly as stated above I have an eye for abused/thefted art and have no qualms when reporting or contacting a moderator on the subject of art even if my judgment may be a little on the harsh side than the slack.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?: I have experience and skills with the world of mediation and moderation which I feel is particularly necessary for this position. I am a very accessible member of Chicken Smoothie and am often private messaged questions or comments in which I feel completely comfortable and happy in responding to. I feel I am a likeable member of CS however I am able to castigate members enough to get my point across without causing upset.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 days

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

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw? All the time.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there? Yes, I love looking at the up and coming artists as well as the CS faves.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS? I'd really like to be part of the busy CS team, especially as there are so many new members on here now. I'd really like to start putting more into CS.

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? Definitely a ton of experience on oekaki, and some on the problems with the new update. I managed to work some of my problems out myself. I've developed the skill to explain why certain things can't be done in certain forums, I like to teach members what they can and can't do so they know for next time.

Also in my job a lot of our customer base can be quite rude and impatient so as a result I've developed communications skills and patience to help such people.

Good with CS rules and BBCoding for extra help with the role.

❥ What date did you register as a CS member?:
I first registered on Chicken Smoothie on the 28th of August 2009 - so I have been on this website for 4 and a half years.

How many posts have you made in the forum:
In the forum, in total, I have made 12821 posts.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
It's practically every day. CS is my life, and so I tend to be on every day.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Usually, I am online from anything from 8-10 hours if I have class or a doctors/hospital appointment and around 14-20 hours on a regular day when I'm not busy.

Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them
I haven't moderated forums, but I have moderated topics here on CS such as:
Balligons.
Antlered Guardian of Destera.

Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw?
Yes I have and still do use the oekaki to draw. I use it every day as you can possibly see by looking in my gallery. I have made over 1000+ oekaki drawings/coloured ins. It's the main drawing program that I use to make designs and to draw art for both myself and others.

Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there?
Yes I do. I normally go there to look at the art and designs that people have made, to give appropriate criticism and tips to those who ask.

I tend to help people use the basics - so like lock alpha, smoothing tool for those who don't have a tablet, etc - and I also tend to look at line arts and check the coloured ins to make sure that they are following the lineart artist's rules. I tend to do this in all the free time I have, which is a lot of hours per day since I normally spend 6-10 hours doing this.

It also inspires me when I have art block and I admire people's time and dedication they put into a piece. It's simply amazing what people can come up with to draw.

Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS?
I'd like to be an oekaki moderator because I'd like to help out the other oekaki mods. I still see a lot of user's asking for topics to be moved, or people not following the rules of someone's linearts and I'd like to be able to sort it out for them instead of simply just reporting the form and PMing the lineart artists.

I have used the oekaki since the day it was first put up on CS and have been with it over the years as things have been tweaked and edited with the program and this experience has given me the knowledge I have today about the program. I know it like the back of my own hand.

I'd love to be able to have people come to me for help using the oekaki program and to help those who are dealing with art theft since at the current time all I can offer is advice to them and I'd love to be able to actually help them instead of saying to them ''contact a mod''. Even though we do not see a lot of art that does go against CS rules in the oekaki, if there is I'd like to be able to do something about it instead of simply watching from the side lines as currently do now.

I am a friendly person who is easy to talk to and I see myself as non intimidating so people should be able to contact me with ease without feeling nervous. ^^

Since art is a passion of mine, that I'm constantly using the oekaki boards, and that I'd love to be able to help others in more ways other than simply giving them advice on what to do - I feel as though this position would be perfect for me.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I am a non-biased person. This skill is key for having to solve disputed between two people, even if I know or have spoken to them and have an idea of what they are like. If a dispute was to happen, I'd think of all the possibilities of what could happen, and chose the best cause of action in order to solve it - weather or not the people are friends of mine.

Having being a victim of art theft in the past, I know how it's not a really nice thing to go through, and I also know how to handle those kinds of situations.

I am a calm and collective person who doesn't get frustrated easily. This is also key for dealing with disputes or with unhappy users who may be frustrated or angry with a certain out come. I am also patient enough to get to the bottom of situations that may have someone who is stressed or angry.

I also have a lot of experience dealing with people of every age. I used to work at a primary school and help out at high school so this has taught me how to be patient with situations, a. Of course, on this site we do not know the ages of others and so I'd treat everyone with kindness and respect even if they do not show me it in return.

I am familiar with the CS rules so I know what is right and wrong.

I know most of the oekaki artists here on CS, and I know their styles. This would help me with art theft due to me knowing an extensive number of artists that if someone was trying to have show art and claim it as their own, I tend to know the style and would be able to see if they have stolen it or that it is genuinely theirs

I am able to handle offensive/inappropriate images and topics easily, and I do not get upset or uncomfortable with such topics.

I have experience in working as a team as I am an artist to many different adoptables, and part of many groups here on CS where having a team is key.

Thank you for taking your time to read this - I appreciate the offer of this position and I trust your judgement.

I wish everyone else good luck. ^^

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I am usually on everyday, more so at night during the week, but I am on for the majority of the time during the weekend.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Usually somewhere in between three to six hours. This varries with what I am doing, and how busy I am that day.
Have you moderated on any other forums before? If so, please link to them n/a
Have you ever used the CS oekaki to draw? Yes, but since I don't have a conputer anymore, and am on with just my smartphone, I haven't been able to, although I am still able to look through the art made, my only limitation is that I cannot make my own art due to being limite to only a phone.
Do you ever spend much time browsing the oekaki board just to look at the art posted there? Yes, I like to see the artistic ability others have when it comes to making it via computer. It's amazing to me on how wonderful they turn out.
Why do you want to be an oekaki moderator for CS? I would like to be a oekaki moderate, not for the benifits, no, that's a silly reason, but instead for the ability to help CS. I am usually quite good at being able to find where others have broken the rules, maybe not in a severe way, but still in a simple, basic way that they use more than one picture for their character's on their forms, but the picture is left where it is. I also would like the position because it seems like a great opportunity to be a great service to the site, and to make sure nothing is posted that is not appropriate for everyone to see, as there are little kids on this site, and they have just as much acess as the rest of the members on this site, so they have just as much chance to stumble upon something inappropriate for them to see, whether it be a post, a picture or a work of art.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position I would be able to deal with the situation in a kind, yet stern way, so that way a fight does not arise, but also so it gets the situation taken care of in a civil way.
