Curator Application

For many years I’ve enjoyed Amino and it’s time for me to get the experience to a next level. I know you are busy Empress so look at it once you have the time. I hereby give you my curator application!

Preferred name:

Beto or Betobeto. Things like Beto-san, -sama etc. are fine too.

Age Range:

I will be 18 in 14 days (20th of July). Just like Alexander the Great

Preferred pronoun:

Him, his etc. I’m a male after all

What makes me a better choice than the other applicants:

I never like selling myself to others cause it feels like I’m narcissistic and high class but I guess I have no choice here so... Here we go!

❁ Personally I think it’s my lack of preconception that is a very handy tool. I don’t judge people on their race, sexuality or their way of living. I genuinely don’t care about these things and see all people from a neutral perspective.

❁ I never judge or punish people before I’ve seen the bigger picture. If someone comes to me for help and tells me about something that someone else did, I will never punish the blamed one before I’ve seen proof. I do this cause I think it’s the most fairest way to deal with problems between in a community like this. I have a lot of experience with these kind of situations and this is the best way after all.

❁ I’m very, very active.

Do I have experience in moderating:

Simply said: no. I’ve never moderated as an Amino leader or Curator. I did have a big gang in the Red Dead Redemption Amino and it was a lot of work. Back there I had a lot of fights between to deal with and that helped me a lot. This is one of the things that really trained me in the understanding of , solving their problems and preventing it from happening again. It is a really good example of a thing that makes me a well-candidate for a ‘curator’.

When working with people I ‘dislike’ I work like this:

I just deal with it. I know I won’t be good palls with the person so I just stay calm and professional. By the way, I almost never ‘dislike’ someone and I don’t have fights quickly.

How would I prove myself if I were picked:

I will maintain order among the , not in a dictatorial way where I abuse my position of power, but as a member of the community. I like to hear people out and solve fights. I also really like coming up with fun events and organizing them; I even have experience in that since I organized one of the biggest events in the Red Dead Redemption Amino on my own. I think it’s hard to prove myself in the early stages of being a curator but it will surely payoff in time.

What my reasons are to become a curator of this Amino:

Like I said before: “I like to hear people out and solve fights.” I just love the feeling I get after solving a fight and restoring order to the community. This is therefore the basic reason why I want to become a curator. Simply to keep order in the community and to keep it a fun place for all .

The skills I possess that can contribute to this Amino &

The most important part about being a curator in my opinion:

I possess the gift to keep calm and look at things in a calm and respectful way. I think this should be one of the gifts of a curator because he/she should handle situations calmly and thoughtfully and not to make decisions lead by his/her emotions. Furthermore come the skills I’ve addressed in the previous parts of this text.

The suggestions and ideas I have:

Believe me, if I had some, I would’ve already told you. I think the best thing to do now is to start the Amino in a slow and ive way. The best is to ask for tips from Amino leaders and adapt positive traits from popular Aminos. My experience tells me to go through the process of growing in a gradual way. If a problem occurs, I will obviously do everything in my might to find a solution to it.

What is my definition of ‘feature worthy’:

❁ I would always feature posts with handy information about updates and news, that is important for all the people on the Amino.

❁ A beautiful artwork or a screenshot collection will also do the job. If I see a good artwork that costed a lot of time and effort, it is definitely ’feature worthy’. The same goes for a good and detailed story. I’m a story writer myself, so I know how much time it costs to write something good.

❁ I also feature videos that are worthy featuring like update information, announcements by the devs, new trailers and funny gameplay. I will post most announcements and updates myself because I’m well aware about those announcements.

❁ I will never feature OCs, OC templates etc. Because they are a help tool to the community for things like role playing and story plotting. The wiki’s are an addition to your but isn’t content that is important for all . There can be real rare exceptions of course.

If I were assigned to finish a task by the end of the month, and there’s absolutely a zero percent chance I’ll complete it, I would:

Honestly say it to the person that assigned me. I’d discuss it to find a solution like asking someone for help. I always finish my work in time, if the assignment isn’t impossible, so there’s no need to worry.

A member of the Amino is outraged. They insist another member is bullying and harassing them. They ask for my help. This is what I would do:

I would look at the situation calmly and, in case of a fight, I will ask both what is going on. If they have both given their arguments I would ask them for proof to their arguments. If there’s enough proof or someone is acting disrespectfully, I will the/one of the leaders for a strike. In big fights, I will invite all of the into a private chat where I can talk with all of them at the same time. It’s handy because it’s easier to find the person who is speaking the truth since they can refute on each other’s arguments.

So to come to a conclusion: In a fight, I will involve all the that are in the fight and look for clear proof to take immediate action. In case of disrespectful behavior, proof (like a clear picture) will be more than enough to ask for a strike.

A member is posting 18+ images all over the Amino, including chats and posts. No leaders are there to ban or strike the member. What do I do?

So, first of all I would delete the posts, messages and nicely ask the person to stop. If he still continues I will react differently towards every member. If I think it is useful to warn him with a ban or strike, I will of course use my position as a curator to make that clear to them. This doesn’t work with everybody unfortunately, there are people like trollers, that like negative attention and will go on posting, especially after the warning. So for them I will act calmer and nicer, and I won’t force them because that works the opposite.

My time zone:

Central-European timezone (CET +1)

When I’m available:

Almost all day (in CET) except for when I’m studying. So, as an European, you can always message me and it won’t take long for me to answer.

Will I notify a leader when I’m going on a hiatus for more than a single day?

If that is expected from me, then yes. I’m online a lot but once in a year I go on vacation to Montenegro where I don’t have wifi all the time. This is always in summer and I will make a post and personally the leader(s) when the time comes.

Positive traits:

❁ Talkative but still calm

❁ Helps when needed

❁ Is a listener

❁ Good in handling crises

❁ Steadfast

Negative traits:

❁ Can be over-enthusiastic

❁ Never had a serious love-relationship (so I’m bad at love advice)

❁ I’m not a native speaker so, my English can be grammatically incorrect sometimes

Phew... What a piece of text! Thank you for hearing me out. I do have to make something clear though. I see many people that want to be a curator in other Aminos solely because they want power, I’m not like that. I really do it for the cause of the Amino itself because I love it and I love the task to protect it. I hope you trust me by my words and you accept me, even with my flaws. I would love to see the Amino grow with me being a part of it. I hope, no... We will make this Amino a great place for all G.O.T. fans! Thank you for your time.

I’d be honored to be a guard of the imperial family in the Amino

With kind regards,

Betobeto
