➪Hello, everyone, and

welcome to my blog!

Today I will be writing

a trial curator application!

Before we begin, I would

like to wish everyone else

who applies good luck!

Enough of my blabbering,

lets get onto the questions!

:v: I’m Kat, a seventeen year old Capricorn in the pacific timezone. I’m a somewhat introverted person with ADHD. I’m also bisexual, an only child, and I have 4 pets.

✍I have quite a few hobbies. For starters, I enjoy writing! I’ve been writing for over 7 years and I just started taking it seriously/as a side career option recently. I’m also an artist! I also enjoy gaming, my favorite games are Danganronpa, Animal Jam, and DDLC, watching shows/videos (my favorite shows are She Ra, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Epithet Erased, Outer Banks, and Stranger Things), and hanging out with my friends!

☽I might as well tell you about my personality. I’m somewhat introverted, but once I warm up to people, I can talk with them easily! I always step in when I notice a problem. I’m also somewhat energetic in a way, and I enjoy messing around/joking with others. I like to think of myself as a determined and very devoted person. I always pull through, even in situations that seem hopeless.

☯I’m usually active on Amino from about 9am-10pm! Sometimes I’ll be on later, but I’m usually drawing/writing past that time (I’m really creative late at night!!).

꧁𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕘 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕦𝕤𝕖𝕕 𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕠?꧂

♪I’ve used Amino for about four years, maybe more, but I just recently ed this Amino! I actually had an old that I made when Julian2 posted the video that mentioned AJA in it, but I wasn’t too active. I’m here to stay now, though!

꧁𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦?꧂

:airplane: I think that I’m fairly active. I’m usually on Amino 6-10 hours per day. Those times will vary depending on how much schoolwork I have. It’ll be summer soon (for me, school ends tomorrow), so I’ll be able to be even more active than I already am!

꧁𝕕𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕙𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕪 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕒𝕤 𝕒 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕗𝕗 𝕞𝕖𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣?꧂

♔I don’t have any experience as a staff member, but I’m currently in multiple groups on AJA, Monthly Stats Team, Charmeur Trade Corner, Jamaa Worth Team, Feature Worthy Post Seekers, and Searching for Art Theft! I’m also in one unofficial group, Vouge.

꧁𝕙𝕠𝕨 𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕝𝕖 𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕔𝕚𝕤𝕞?꧂

⌫I believe that I handle critique pretty well! I don’t let destructive criticism bother me, and I always welcome any type of constructive criticism, because I believe that it helps us improve! However, it depends on the circumstances. If I did everything that I was able to do in a situation and someone criticized me on that, I probably wouldn’t pay too much attention to the critique.

☘I want to be selected as a trial curator because I want to help this community flourish even more than it already has. AJA is such an amazing, well put together community, and I’d love to be apart of the brilliant team that makes sure it stays that way. I can tell that being a staff member definitely is a huge responsibility, but it also allows you to bond with other people. I feel like it’d be an excellent experience, and it might also help me build skills such as leadership that I can use later on in life.

𓆈I’m on Amino a good amount, so I’d definitely be able to fulfill my duties as a curator. I’m also very team oriented, I’m able to work with other people, in fact, I prefer working with others over working by myself. A couple other reasons why I might make a good curator is my communicative skills, my flexibility, my ability to solve problems, and my perserverance.

𓆉This Amino already has a bunch of events, but I think that it’d be neat if a very small, one day event was hosted every week. There would be a chatroom that anybody could . People could chat inside of it if they wanted to. On a specific day, let’s just say Friday, there could be a small event. I’m not sure exactly what, but it shouldn’t be a long event. Maybe just a minigame. It’d be something that Jammers could look forward to!

☠As for what I would contribute to AJA, I would disable posts before AJAMs were able to see them, as much as possible, I could overlook chats to make sure there’s no problems within them, and I can contribute tons of my time to being a staff member. If I were to be chosen as a trial curator, I would devote AT LEAST 1,000 minutes per week to moderating this Amino.

:sunny: I only take breaks if it’s a family emergency. So far, I’ve only taken one break from Amino, and that was only for a couple days and for a good reason. Yes, I will be able to fulfill all the tasks I’m expected to carry out.

☽There’s a lot of factors that make something feature worthy. I think that the most important thing is creativity. The thing that typically catches my eyes when I’m scripting people for FWPS is unique art styles, writing, baking, and edits. The second thing is quality. Typically, fully shaded art with clean lineart or descriptive writing are more favored than sketches and rushed pieces. And of course, effort. You can tell how much effort was put into a piece just by glancing at it.

:relaxed: First, I would speak with the member. I would be straight foward, and I’d ask them right away why they were harassing the artist. If they just again say that the artist’s work is terrible, I would give them a strict warning, saying that they’d be severely punished if they continued. If for whatever reason they kept harassing the artist, I would either hide their profile until the situation was handled or give them a strike. It depends on the situation.

:hearts: First, I would put the chat on view only, so that nobody would be able to talk. Next, I would scroll up and see how the drama started and who was ultimately in the wrong. This can be multiple people, of course. If I can’t reach a final decision or some of the messages were deleted, I’d pm the involved in the drama, compare their answers, make sure all of their responses add up, and then I would warn the member who started the drama and those involved in it. I’d tell the bystander who was fuelling the flame to let the staff team handle it next time.

❣The first thing I would do was try to convince them to stay with me. I would tell them how I could relate to them, and I would try to show them how life gets better. As someone who has been in very dark places, I understand what they’re going through. I’d also provide them with a bunch of hotlines, suicide prevention hotline, a hotline for self harm, ect. Hopefully, in the end, I would be able to convince them to stay with us. The next thing I would do is provide an outlet. A lot of people want to harm themselves because they have nobody to go to. I’d let the person vent to me. I’ve actually handled a couple of situations like this, most of them being on Discord. I was successful each time thankfully.

𓁹I only speak English, but I can easily communicate with someone who speaks another language due to the technology today. If someone tried to communicate with me in another language, I would use a translator.

꧁𝕎𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕓𝕖 𝕒𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕕𝕖𝕒𝕝 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕦𝕣𝕖 𝕠𝕣 𝕤𝕖𝕟𝕤𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕤𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤?꧂

Yes, I would be. Most topics don’t bother me, and even if they do for some reason make me uncomfortable, I might ask for assistance from another staff member. I’ve been a lot of uncomfortable situations and I’m always able to keep my calm and carry on.

☞A situation like this probably would never happen, seeing that none of my friends who know me in real life know what Amino is and I’d never reveal any information about myself that I consider a secret, but if it somehow were to happen, I would first talk to the person who was threatening me. I’d try to convince them not to by telling them how dangerous it would be to share my personal information and I’d also tell them that they’d receive severe punishment if they were to go through with the act. If they still wanted to share my personal information, I would talk with the rest of the staff. In the end, they’d probably either have their profile hidden or receive a strike depending on the severity of the situation.
