My Moderator Application: Demyx (the real one)
Posted: Sep 26, 2007 5:05pm
Hello. My name is Kelly. Its nice to meet you, in case I don't already know you. You'll often find me in the RPs, but I also like to mosey around the rest of the site here and there. Usually checking out what's posted in the music and video game section as well as mindless chit-chat. Occasionally I can be found in the chat.
I think I should start with a brief introduction to better acquaint (Sp?) you with me. I have loved anime and manga since I was in fifth grade, and started taking Japanese when I entered High school. I passed Japanese I and am currently in Japanese II. I can be very civilized and polite, and try to be for the most part. Although, I believe people see me as rude sometimes because I prefer to speak my opinion openly and I usually do it with not-so-great grammar. I do tend to abbreviate things, but usually only when I am pressed for time. I try to make myself as understood as possible, and to correct any misunderstandings that might arrise from my statements. If I become a Mod, I will refrain from sharing my opinion unless I feel it is needed or it will not cause any harm. I try to think about what I say and who will hear it/be affected by it at the time and into the future. I will also work on not abbreviating so much so that everyone can understand what I mean.
I have been on Absolute Anime for almost a year now, and have learned a lot about the site and its people. I've also come to know many people, and have become friends with them. I know what's appropriate on the site, and what isn't, and I try to keep it rated appropriately. I am also moderating on another site, although it is just starting out, and the link to this other site can be found in my signature under "Click this. Do it now."
I know I haven't always been the best person around, and some people might remember that we didn't start out on the right foot (Of course, they might not remember at all with how many name changes I've had. << comic relief), but I have improved. If I realize that I've hurt someone's feelings, I try to apologize and make things right. I'm sincere, even if it doesn't always seem like it. I work hard to keep good relationships with my friends, and make new ones while I'm at it. I'm not discriminating of people. I've been through enough, in elementary school and up to now, to know what it feels like to be excluded, picked on, and completely shut out and alone. I am not looking for your sympathy with this, I am only looking to prove that I know how it feels. Although I can't prove it with physical proof here, I'm hoping I can get the benefit of a doubt. If I do happen to run into a person I dislike, and it is hard to get me to dislike a person for anything other than a good reason, I try to remain calm and avoid a confrontation. I admit, there are times when I slip. I'm not saying I'm perfect here, no one is, and everyone deserves a few mishaps. I believe that everyone deserves a fair chance, along with second chances. I'm willing to give everyone three or four chances so long as they make an earnest step towards making it better. I hope people will do the same for me.
I would like to help make the site a better place for everyone. As I'm sure everyone else would like to do as well. I'm happy just being here on AA, and whether I become a mod or not, I will try to do my best to do better as a user.
Please put any type of criticism in response to this application. Good, Bad, or nothing at all. Put anything you feel you want me to know down.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a nice day.
