#1. Why do you have an interest in moderating for this community?
People usually think of moderator role as to manage the community; mute, kick, or ban inappropriate users, delete inappropriate messages as well as to keep the server clean and friendly. To me, being a moderator helps me to gain more experience for my future career, either online, or in real life.
As a moderator, I don’t want to just do what a normal moderator do; I want to approach to the members in a best way that does not make them feel uncomfortable, as to respect everyone and their opinion, make friends with them, and help them with situations that they need help with. I also have some mentor experience that actually help for some people who has problems that cannot share to other people.
I have created and moderated a decent self-owned server for 2 years before transferring owner due to school schedule reason, helped setting up all needs for over 20 servers, and have experience with 10 bots, two of them are well-experienced which are Tatsumaki and Nadeko (Akane).
#2. Are you friends with the members here (generally)?
Generally yes. I am not a close person with anyone in the server, but I like to meet new people, including those who have been in the server before me. I like to have a talk with someone in DM after getting to know them in the general chat to get a better understanding on that person. My relationship to members there is as same as the university mentor: friendly, nice, and always want the best for their student. I like to hear about the issues members have, try to solve them together, and thus improve my own learning experience and relationship.
#3. Will you feel empowered to provide ideas/suggestions/concerns to the other staff?
Of course. Without ideas/suggestions/concerns, how can a community grow better? I do not hesitate to give out my ideas, suggestions, or concerns, because I think it is not a request, but rather be a duty of many moderators. My ideas/suggestions/concerns are not always correct, so I want to listen to other's ideas/suggestions/concerns to correct my incorrect ideas/suggestions/concerns.
#4. What is your favorite channel in Life Needs a Little Sin?
I am active in #general, #calm, #bot-commands, #r18-chat-realm, and Music channel voice chats. Sometimes I come to other channels/voice chats to read some messages and write down some comments.
