Which section would you like to apply for?

Music Mod

Why do you want to become a mod for this section?

I would like to be as useful ad I can to SH, and I figure being a Music Mod would be helpful. ^^

How much active can you be?

I'm on pretty much every day, so I can be very active =D

Where did you hear about sakurahana?

I found it on a google search for anime forums to join

Have you done modding before?

Yes, I've been a mod on quite a few different sites. Most of them are older and have shut down due to Admin inactivity. But I have been a Mod on the following sites:

Lost Realms (perished after the admin shut it down after a big argument between the 2 acting administrators)
Yugioh Realms (was also a staff writer for a while)
FFSilmaria (Was the admin, but members weren't active enough and the site died)
Beautiful World (A MAR: Marchen Awakens Romance RP Board that died due to the admin leaving. Us mods kept it running for another year before it's fated death)

Are you familiar with our forum's software? (Vbulletin)

I'm fairly familiar with it, although it's been a while since I modded on a Vbulletin board.

Have you helped or guided users before? If yes then show an example. (link to thread/post)

I'm not sure if this counts, but I run the Organization XIII and Final Fantasy clubs, so I've been doing a lot of work on those, especially the Organization XIII club.

How well do you know our current staff?

I know Star pretty well, we're always talking. I've talked with a few of the other staff members on the LPW a little as well.

Do you accept our forum rules (including the section's rules you'd like to moderate) and promise to do your best to meet our expectations?

Hai~!

Which section would you like to apply for?
Sakura's Avenue

Why do you want to become a mod for this section?
I have sometimes seen users keep posting even when threads reach over 2000 replies in the Spam Section, which are annoying. There are also threads that are too senseless even they are in the Spam Section and I want users to know that we can have fun without having to deviate from the rules.

How much active can you be?
During this holiday I can be on SH more than a straight 7 hours almost everyday. When college starts probably I can stay about 2 hours for a day on weekdays; and on weekends I can be online just as long as when on holiday (about 7 hours a day).

Where did you hear about sakurahana?
I came here from google when I was searching for anime news, then I thought it looked interesting and so I registered.

Have you done modding before?
Yes, but in a small forum before (which has died already) for about 3 months.

Are you familiar with our forum's software? (Vbulletin)
Yes, I'm quite familiar with mod control panel in standard vB as like in my small forum before.

Have you helped or guided users before? If yes then show an example. (link to thread/post)
I'm a bit puzzled on what kind of guidance. Usually I remind them to keep themselves from violating the rules (especially when a thread in Spam Section reaches over 2000 posts). Also telling several minor mistakes that I found. Hope these links qualify.

Which section would you like to apply for?

Music Moderator

Why do you want to become a mod for this section?

I've quite a bit of interest in asian music, with my music library composed primarily of songs from the Asia region, so I'd like the chance to be able to discuss it with a variety of people with different tastes and genres. I'm also currently modding the music section in another forum, so I'd like more experience in that area.

How much active can you be?

Pretty active... I'll probably be around everyday, when I can manage it.

Where did you hear about sakurahana?

Tried applying for the scanlator team, though I failed, seen and heard some good things about the forum itself, so I created an account here to check it out.

Have you done modding before?

Currently a moderator for MangaHelpers, modding the Tsubasa RC, Otaku Cafe, Otaku Theatre, Otaku Karaoke, and Art Contest Sections there. I'm also an administrator, and technician for a forum called CLAMP in Forumland, which deals with manga and animes from the group CLAMP. I've also been part of the staff list for a forum called SlipStream Anime, though I retired due to other commitments in real life.

Are you familiar with our forum's software? (Vbulletin)

Very familiar, as I used it quite extensively working as the primary technician for CLAMP in Forumland, as well as using the modding tools for MangaHelpers, SSA, and CLAMP in Forumland.

I approve this message.

Which section would you like to apply for?

GFX Section of course~! :3

Why do you want to become a mod for this section?

Because I feel that my strength is GFX. I can help people by commenting on their signatures and will try my hardest to help them. I can answer most GFX questions as well. I also want to be a mod in this section because I want to help Sakurahana as much as possible, and I think this would be a perfect way to do so.

How much active can you be?

I am online everyday (not 24/7 though XD) and I will definitely be online in time for SOTW and GOTM events. My school holidays is near and I have little to no important homework left.

Where did you hear about sakurahana?

Google.

Have you done modding before?

Yes. I have been both an admin and moderators for quite a few forums now.

Are you familiar with our forum's software? (Vbulletin)

Yes. Most of the forums I joined have been by Vbulletin. As for technical issues, no, but I have a friend who is quite knowledgeable about these things so I can ask him for help if you need me to.

Have you helped or guided users before? If yes then show an example. (link to thread/post)

Yes! I think I am quite the helper - helping mostly in the gfx request and the request section. I make sure my posts are clear and easy to navigate to when fulfilling people's request. Here are a few examples.
