Time in A_B (how long have you been here?): March 2010 at the very least, that's the date of the earliest post I made to the community so lets go with that.

Hours Available: I'm currently unemployed so I'm free and available almost constantly. My timezone is GMT -8.

Moderation Experience: Currently I'm a maintainer of the furrytrainwreck community. I know that helping to run a snark community may not put me in the best light here but I entirely understand that the rules here are stricter and that the different natures of said places are reflected in how they are run. That is something I would entirely respect. Through modding FTW I have learned the basics of how to use LJ in a mod capacity, screening posts etc.
I have also modded and been an administrator at several internet forums over the years. Dealing with people from a position of 'authority' is nothing new and I have always done my best to be fair and exhibit as little bias as possible.

Why do you want to volunteer for A_B?: A_B has been a WONDERFUL resource and helped me resolve at least three situations in the past, all with favourable results. If I was chosen as a mod I would love the opportunity to give something back. I'm an active poster already and try to contribute helpfully when I have something to offer.
The current mods, Kayla-La in particular are all wonderful and reasonable individuals who I would fully emulate in both enforcing the rules fairly and being willing to listen to suggestions.

I wanted to toss in my two cents and say I think that Shuki would be a good mod for this community.

While snark communities might have loose rules and different intentions than A_B, you sometimes have to deal with people that come in expecting to be rude or sarcastic and as a mod there, you have to know where the blurred line is and when it is appropriate to take action. For what it's worth, FTW has seemed more organized and more community-oriented than other drama/snark communities I've browsed in the past, using more of a "play nice or go home" mentality. Compared to that, modding on A_B may be a bit easier in that the rules here are pretty cut and dry, and in a way possibly easier to "not take crap from anyone" because of that.
