About

Hi!

My name is Rika (not Diamond). I know no one really reads these things but I shall spam you with a wall of text anyway! smilies/icon_blaugh.gif

First off, let's get the obvious questions out of the way riiiiiiight now.

Quote:
OMG WHY IS YOUR NAME GREEN?!?

No, seriously. You will not believe how often I am asked that question! Anyway, the answer you are seeking is that I am a Gaia Online Site Moderator. Moderators are the lovely volunteers who keep Gaia a safe and happy place for all its members but truth be told, we're just normal people. Yes, that's right. People. We're not robots. We're not drones. We're people who work very hard to keep Gaia clean. And volunteers. That means we don't get paid. We do it because we want to do it. Yes, because we want to do it.

How can I be a mod? smilies/icon_blaugh.gif

Go to the moderator application FAQ sticky. All the information you need to apply is there!

Quote:
What if I want to be an admin/developer/artist?

Admins, developers, and artists are all paid staff. To become one, you would have to apply to work at Gaia Online headquarters. See this page for details.

Quote:
That's too much work. Can I just be a Forum Assistant?

Forum Assistant is a phase in moderator training. However, sometimes users are asked to become "permanent" Forum Assistants. To be noticed and considered for this job, you should be a model Gaian and use the report system frequently and accurately.

Quote:
Can you donate? smilies/icon_heart.gif

Please don't beg me for donations. Being a moderator does not mean I am rich or that I have gold or items to spare. If I happen to see you asking for donations in your signature and have spare gold, you might get a donation. If you beg on my profile or in PMs, you won't.

Quote:
Will you be my friend?

I don't accept random friend requests. So if I have never talked to you or don't know who you are, I probably won't accept the request. If you want to be my friend, a good way to start would be to talk to me. Like...a lot. So I remember you. Also, please do not send me a friend request just because I'm a mod. And please do not use my friendship as a way to get around the system. PMing me about a serious issue is fine. Spamming me with minor issues or bugging me in lieu of using the report system is not!

Okay, that's enough of that. Let's get to the part that's really about me.

First off, I am female. I think this should be fairly obvious since my avatar is female and my name is rather girly. But people still ask or get confused so I am female.

Now since I'm a mod, you know I'm at least eighteen. smilies/icon_blaugh.gif And my birthday is right over there under my avatar. But if you don't feel like doing math, I'm twenty-five. No, that is not too old to use Gaia Online and enjoy it! smilies/icon_blaugh.gif

I have been happily married for about three and a half years (he thinks Gaia is silly and that I'm a dork!). I love animals, especially dogs. Cats are all right, but they don't always like me very much. Until recently, I had a lovable black Labrador, but since we moved into a place where we couldn't have big dogs, I gave him to my dad. Unfortunately, Jake has received his wings and is now waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge, bless his heart.

I am a military veteran, U.S. Army to be specific, as is my husband. This means a lot to me, as serving did a lot to shape me into the person I am today. It was tough, but I'm glad I did it.

I've been on Gaia Online for over six years now. I don't post as much as I used to because honestly it's hard to find topics that I'm interested enough to post in! But when I do find something I like, I tend to go back a few times at least either to chat or to read.

I play zOMG quite a bit, and Tiles is a fun diversion when I want some entertainment and nothing more. I also wander into towns sometimes!

Feel free to leave me comments, but please note that I will not discuss moderating actions (either by myself or another mod) here. If you have a question or a gripe about such an action, please PM me instead!
