What date did you register as a CS member?:

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
5929 (5930 now)
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day (unless I have a lot of school work or go on vacation).
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
At least 2 or 3, but usually (a lot) more than that.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I'm pretty good with computers and know pretty much everything there is to know about Chicken Smoothie. I am/was a helper with the younger kids at my school, as well as a tutor, so I've learned to be patient when people don't understand something and I have to explain it multiple times. I'm good with relating to other people, even if we're really different. Also, I'm not shy at all, so I won't be nervous about talking to new people. And I speak a little bit of French (a very little bit...).
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I want to help newcomers on Chicken Smoothie feel less like newcomers. I want them to know how things on CS work, like how to change their avatar or signature, as well as helping them learn the rules so they don't get int trouble. I want to make sure that if someone has a question, they get a correct answer. But besides making sure they know their way around the forums, I also want to make sure they feel welcomed in the forums. I remember being confused and worried about the forums when I joined a bajillion years ago, and I'm hoping new people don't feel as scared as much as I did.

Good luck to everyone who applies. ;3

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Three or four, maybe.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I've helped a lot of members already. Also, my mom works at a shop, so sometimes I go there and help her and the customers eagerly.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?: Of all the things I can be on CS, General Helper is the thing I want to be most. Not moderator, not artist, General Helper. I love helping people, it's who I am. This would make me very, very happy.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7, if I can get to a computer / laptop / find a wifi server that will allow my iPod to join it.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I tend to keep CS open on a tab whenever I'm on the laptop ( which is 4/5 times. ) so I would think about 7 hours a day depending on what day it is. In the holidays its definitely 7 hours, in school time its around 4 - 5 hours.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) I speak Spanish and German ( not fluently, sometimes I have to use a translator to help me along. ) and in real life I used to be a mediator. We would go around at Lunch time or break, and stop potential fights or help soften arguments down. We also answered questions to the newer years in the school and helped them about the school.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I'd like to be a General Helper to, well, help others and see them on their way to becoming a well-rounded member of CS. I enjoy giving advice and helping other people. I can be friendly and tolerant of quite a lot of things but when pushed I tend to leave the laptop and go do something else.

Well, I know quite a bit about this site now since I've been on since mid-09, so I'd be able to answer quite a few questions that people answer.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
It's simple - I just want to help out around here now. I want to be able to help newer people, or anyone really, as long as they have questions. c: That's all, really.

I help a lot in the CS Suggestions and Problems, and the HTML Help forums. I know most to know about trades and rarities. If I see any new users on the site, and they have a post in Introductions, I'll post.

This site get bigger every day, and I don't know if our staff can take all the questions. I would love to help more people on the site then I do already. I have the knowledge and patience needed for this. I love helping out, and this is my dream job,other than a mod. But I don't think I will get to that.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 1,611
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Normally every day.
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 3-5 hours a day, sometimes 6 hours. 1 and a half an hour in the morning, 2 hours or more in the middle of the day, and all throughout the day I login about every 1-2 hours, each time for about 20 minutes or more.
5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I'm learning how to speak French, and I know a lot of it right now. I also know a little bit of Spanish. I know a lot about this site, I've read the help section through more than once and I've been in the CS Suggestions and Problems forum a lot. I always remain calm during fights, not that I've ever been in one here, but on other sites I have. Each one I handled carefully and ended quickly.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? I don't want to become a General Helper just to have my name colored pink like several people do. I don't want special moderating powers, or the job of being an artist. I just want to help people learn everything they can about chicken smoothie, so they can learn everything they need to learn and can help even more people. I've been given several gifts from several people, one was my most-wanted pet. This is my way of saying thank you to everyone.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 3-4 hours
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) I work at a job where I am required to be helpful. I remain calm in arguments, and know the rules on this site. I am also pretty good with trade values. And often I give free pets to new players to help them out.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I have been on CS for quite a while and I really enjoy it. Normally I get tired of online games quickly but I know I would never leave CS. I love how helpful and friendly the people are on here. Lately I haven't had much time to come on, but my schedule has changed now and I would love to have something more to do on here besides arrange my pets, haha. I love helping people and answering questions, and I'm never rude if someone is annoying me or sending me unfair trades. Helping new people is one of my passions, as I think most people are impatient and rude to them. I easily have time to help out because I can go on at any time with my phone, and I check CS throughout the day.

Thanks for considering my application. =)

What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
I registered on October 10, 2009. (I've been a member for over 1 year and 9 months)

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
7690, but the number is always increasing, since I'm very active in the forums.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every single day I go on, to check on my pets, check my posts and check my trades. (Unless I'm on vacation without internet access)

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
As many as I can, usually on average...maybe 5-6? (Sometimes more, sometimes less)
I usually spend most of my free time on CS, or on the computer. AKA, a lot.

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?)
I can answer a good deal of the questions on the forum. My more knowledgeable CS friends have helped me out a lot from the time I discovered the CS forums, and now I know everything I need to know well enough to explain to another easily. I'm pretty good at step-by-step processes, explaining every detail in an easy to follow procedure, and I can always answer questions on whatever someone needs to know about CS. Throughout my time on CS, I've learned all about rarity, demand and value, and the difference between '08s, '09s, '10s and '11s, and I've been able to explain the difference between them to others a number of times. I can also explain about C$ to others, how to buy things, how to get it and how to "trade" it. I can also explain auctions, trades, art shops and everything else someone might want to know. (Off-site currencies, the Oekaki boards, the forums, etc.) I know that sometimes the pet's actual rarity or date doesn't really matter, and how sometimes a pet's demand can play a major role in its value. I know about auctions, and how quantity is not always quality, and how to create a wish list and trades. I've pretty much mastered Oekakis, so I can explain to another about how to use the smoothing tool, create new layers, change the opacity, draw in a crayon-style, shade and much more. I know all about dreampets and places on the forum where others can help you find the pet you're looking for, and I can help out others about them. I love helping others find their dreampets, even giving them to them if I can. I try to be as helpful as I can, and try to be kind and cheerful to those that have questions so that they know it's okay to ask the various general helpers roaming around CS.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I want to be a general helper because I want to help out the other members of CS more than I have been. By becoming a general helper, more people will realize I can answer questions, and therefore, I can help more people out. I was a newbie on CS once, too, and I know what it feels like to be on a brand new site with no knowledge or pets, value, trades or the forums. CS is pretty big, but once you come to know the people in it and how kind some people are to others, you can set goals for yourself and learn more about whatever it is you want to know. The kindness of many members have helped me achieve my dreampets and learn more about the site in general, and I want to "pay it forward" to the rest of CS.
