[exorcism]

What date did you register as a CS member?: Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:34 pm

How many posts have you made in the forum: Fourteen thousand, two hundred ninety two.(14,292)

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: Usually, I find myself on CS every day unless real life prevents me from doing so.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: I usually spend about a good five hours on CS when I can, give or take some more depending on what day it is and what has happened throughout the day.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: The only ones I can think of is that I do frequent the Oekaki boards, even if I do not post, so I do know most, if not all, of the tools and terms used and how they work. As an overall thing, I do know a good bit about the site when it comes to making things transparent, rarities, trading, posting, role-playing, and formatting. I sadly cannot speak any other languages, but I can with Google Translate as everyone can, and if I cannot find something out immedately I will use all tools necessary to gather the needed information. I often to "lurk" around in the CS Suggestions and Problems and Introductions board, but have never really posted there unless someone I knew was wanting to know something, or introducing themselves.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I've always loved helping people whenever the moment presented itself, and this would be a good way for me to help fellow CS users with the problems they're having. I like supplying others with moral support, and this is a great way to get around and do so. <3

1.What date did you register as a CS member?:
May 15th 2010
2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
19834, though I shall admit that most are either Oekaki or Roleplays
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
7 days a week
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
Most of the day, depending on other activities.
5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
I know a bit of Spanish and German aswell as quite a bit of French, though my main language is English. I understand Oekaki aswell as a bit of coding, I am generally calm and welcoming to those I talk to and will gladly help new members about. I'm adaptable so if someone needs extra guidance with something, I can easily put something into depth and lengthen/shorten it to make a bit more sense. I know all the rules around CS, and browse often so I'll see a problem through my browsing - if not answered I try to give it a go myself.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
I tend to spend a lot of time on the internet and want to put it to good use, not just sitting around drawing and roleplaying but actually getting to sit down and know that I'll be able to help someone out for they'll PM if necessary. I love to help people and normally give a bit of advice, mention a small mistake and will comment on someones choice of name for a character or on a peice of art. I hang around the Adoptable threads and sometimes 'mini mod' if I think there isn't enough being done about it. I have had a bit of trouble with the mods once or twice - but that was a long while back - and I think that I could somewhat make up for having been a nuisance by lending a hand around CS while people know they can talk to me about something if they need help.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?

Well.
I'm not the best person. I make mistakes,and it doesn't feel nice when you don't know what to do. I'd turn to the genral helpers sometimes. Now that i'm more famliar with CS i'd like to be one too. My grammar nor spelling isn't perfect,but most of the time it's minor mistakes. alot of other people are going to say this too. I hope you know,that this is my story,and what i'd love to do. But i'd hope to help more.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 5 to 8 hours a day on CS,I am very active on CS,I am addicted to it.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I am very familIar with helping people. I can be very helpful to new players. I can give a full explanation to people who have trouble with Somthing. If I'm sick from school I spend all day on the introductions.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I want to be a general helper because I believe I can help new players even more.I know I joined in 2011 but I have learned so much from older players,I have learned that new players don't know as much as an older player would. I love shooting PMs to new players asking if they need help with anything. Have given players pets so they can feel as welcome as I was when I first began. I think this Is a great oppertunity to help new players with their troubles.

What date did you register as a CS member?:

This was a shared account, and my ex-partner joined November 24, 2008.
My true join date is closer to August 2010.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):

1394.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

I make sure to visit on a daily basis.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?

My visits tend to be short but numerous, averaging close to 4 hours a day.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required):

I speak but am not fluent in Norwegian and Spanish, and am just beginning to dip a toe in French. Outside of the internet world, I am a manager at work and have a lot of experience handling multiple personalities while maintaining a level of calm and objectivity. Although I still may have a few questions myself, I am confident in my knowledge of trade values when factoring in demand, year, etc. Unfortunately, I don't answer a lot of questions in the Help/Suggestions board, but I visit frequently and have a good understanding of what kinds of questions I would need to answer as a General Helper. I remember what it was like to be brand new, and have a lot of the important threads bookmarked that would be helpful to those confused about things I used to fret about as well.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

I've really been looking for a way to further my experience here on CS, and I think General Helper is a step in the right direction. I've visited every nook and cranny of this place, and I'd like to share what I've learned with people that need the knowledge. I know it would be refreshing to step back from narrow view of playing CS simply for my own gain and instead be active and participate for the benefit of others. When I have questions of my own, it's such a good feeling to know those pink names are there and waiting to give the help I need. I would love the opportunity to give that in return. Being there to better someone's experience is a responsibility I think would be nothing short of rewarding.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
1551 posts

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
six-seven unless I'm away of course (:

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
I't depends. Normaly around about an hour to two. On weekends, much more, about 5 - 8, I've been online for eleven hours before.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
Not in paticular, I know quite a bit about Roleplays and Oekaki and trading and how to edit your posts and profiles. know about Oekaki competitions and Auctions, i know quite a bit about all of those. And I can probably awnser a lot of questions!

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Because I like helping people out, and I have always wanted to be more than a casual member, but I guess so does everybody. I love making friends and I like it when i get to tell newbies all about CS, I dont normally post on forums other than The RP's i have joined and Oekaki, but that would definetly change. If i have ever come across a unanswered question i will always answer it, explaining the answer clearly. I like to encorage new arsists and give them advice, and i ask people to explore CS some more, i know a lot of members who havent been to parts of CS, so i tell them about the less active parts.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:

All seven, give or take
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?

I'd say, of recent, 2-3 hours, checking up on things, etc. I almost always have a tab open on most days.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:

I speak a bit of French, not fluently, but the basics without Google Translate to help me out. As for other particular skills, I have had some leadership experience with working as a youth volunteer leadership during the regional Boy Scout Day Camp and some student leadership in marching band.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?

I like helping people, to be really honest here. I guess it's just that nice feeling of helping out someone is what I really like? Also, even though I haven't been as involved on the boards here for a few months, I still very much enjoy CS and I would love to be someone people can come to with questions and such, I honestly don't mind answering the same thing over and over. If I solved someone's problem, that's the only satisfaction I really need!

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

-Six to seven, now that it's summer, but starting the 27th it will go down to four or three.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?

-Atleast five. Because by the time my phone loads the page, or my iPod decides to come back to life, or when I do chores around the house, the day is gone xD

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation? Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert? Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum? Do you know how all the tools/options in the oekaki work?)

-I am very familiar with the oekaki tools and such, and I know many languages. These include { in the order I learned them }
||Spanish
|||English
||||French - not very fluent, but I'm close
|||||Swahili
||||||Arabic { Algerian } - still learning

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

-I would like to be a General Helper because I admire the staff, and I really enjoy helping others. I don't have many actual friends on CS, so I barely ever communicate with really anyone. I only PM one or two people, and that's it.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Three to five, but I'm getting my own laptop in winter, so I'll be on more after that.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? On weekends 5+ hours, on school days, perhaps about two. Again, I'm getting my own laptop, so that will add more hours on.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) I think of myself as a very respectful, patient person who can handle problems rationally. I also know a lot about COPPAs, which many players don't, and this prompted me to write the COPPA guide. I try to answer questions in the help forum, and I currently mini-mod on the MLP:FiM thread, though I don't think this would help, except for I can now code threads pretty well. I know how to change profile icons, signatures and I'm pretty good with my rarities. I know the resources available on CS that need to be linked, and I know my way around the oekaki. I also am good at remember when a mod or admin mentioned something related to a person's question, and I'm usually able to find what they said.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I want to find some way to give back to this site. This site has given me so much, friends who share interests with me, people who will encourage me with my writing and art, and just a general feeling of a safe, warm, loving community. I want to help others feel that this community is the right place for them to be. When I was new I had a best friend to show me all around CS and answer questions I had, but I also remember general helpers being there when she couldn't find an answer for me. Not everyone has a chance to know someone who will show them around, so I want to be one of the ones to help when help is needed. I'm always ready to lend a hand when anyone needs any help, and I won't shy away from a challenge. I have a mind that will try dozens of ways to work through a problem, with the reward being the solution.

I understand if I don't get chosen because of how many times a week I can get on CS, but my studies will come first, and I apologize for that. Either way, thank you very much for the opportunity, I would love to be a general helper if I could.

Many thanks,
