[HunterExWolf]

What date did you register as a CS member?: 11 Feb 2012

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 351

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? 3-5 Hours.

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 know how to speak Japanese, French, Chinese (Traditional), I do know how the Oekaki works. I can be kind to people, and not get frustrated, and I will never get mad or rude or anything that is mean. So I will always have a smile on my face, and do as hard as I can. I can also explain things very well with allot of important details. I can also calm people when they are worked up and, angry.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? Because, I used to know how it feels to be stuck and not know what to do on Chicken Smoothie. I enjoy helping people around and, welcoming people. I would like to help out, because it is hard to do these things for some people and, you need help so I want to help. Thank you.

   Everyday actually, I'm on daily to chat with friends- check up on the forums etc. ^ u ^
   
   
   
4. ♥ How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
   
   About close to 10 hours a day, sometimes more as I do still check Chickensmoothie while I'm out on the go. ^ u ^

   Well, as of now.. the only languages I speak besides English, are Chinese (aka Mandarin) and somewhat okay Japanese. I've had only minor peer mediation as it was a non-compulsory mini-course a few years back when I was still schooling. I get along quite easily with people, since part of my nature is I'm not one who likes arguments or disputes- and believe talking out our problems patiently and politely can ease the hostility and problems much easier then arguing. ^ ^ I am against things like bullying, having experienced it myself outside Chickensmoothie, so I guess in a way it enforces how I prefer things to be settled quickly without disputes. I'm pretty okay with trade-values though of course I admit I'm not an expert- and have needed to seek advice from people much more experienced then I am; however I'm always learning. :3 I've helped out before on the forums sometimes, if help is needed and allowed- or at least till a Mod is able to arrive and take control of whatever the question may be. ^ u ^ I've had some experience leading since occasionally, I've needed to organize gatherings for my art society group. Well.. even outside CS, I do enjoy meeting new people- it's always nice to talk to a new person each day.. and it's fun to show them the ropes, and guide them around. I'm always open to PMs, questions, or when people just need someone to talk to- so perhaps it may help when dealing with people brand new to CS and just need a friendly person to make them feel welcomed. :3
   
   
   
6. ♥ Why do you want to be a General Helper?
   
   I guess, the core reason if I were to keep it short and simple.. is that I'd just like to help people. :3 As a community with such varying ages and walks of life, it's important to always make sure everyone isn't having problems and things run smoothly. Though I guess I'm not an 'old-timer' like users who have been around since 2008, I've seen quite a bit happening throughout the past few years. Ups and downs, arguments and the likes, I've experienced personally before and know how sometimes frustrating the users may feel... I try my best to cheer people up, since.. well.. Chickensmoothie to me at least, is a place to just unwind and relax. To meet new people from all over the world, not to have any disputes or stressful worries. If it was within my means, I'd definitely love to help out everyone and anyone, to make CS a place they can enjoy and return to everyday knowing they have friends, kind people, and a welcoming community. ^ ^ Everyone can contribute to the site and forums, everyone is part of the community. :3
   
   Helping people.. it just gives a warm feeling that's hard to explain for me. Knowing that helping someone out has given them more understanding and more confidence in playing the site without doubts- it's just something you can't explain. ^ - ^ If I have to, there's really no issue if I have to answer the same questions from different people repeatedly; and if I have to give them some help personally, that's fine too. :3 Everyone gets a little lost sometimes, and just need a helping hand. If I can, I'll gladly be that helping hand to get them going on the site. ^ ^

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?)
Yes i do I can actually speak two other languages, French and German *I am a little bit of an amateur at German but I can speak a little bit of it!*! I don't speck them very often but I enjoy when I come across someone from Germany and I can add a new word to my German! Also I do not like to get into fights and am often the one to try and conclude it or end it! I don't like making others mad although sometimes it is a lots cause, I think I would make a great general helper and would very much enjoy being one!
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Ok I wont lie I think it would be pretty sick to have your name in a pretty colour! But that's not the only reason I want to be a General Helper! I want to be a General help because I enjoy helping others very much and have actually had someone ask me to adopt them for they were a newbie! I enjoy skimming around the topics seeing if anyone has asked a question that I know or if I don't know I would like to find out as well! I'm not a very new player and know my way around Chicken Smoothie quite well and I think I would really enjoy being a new General helper!

Thank you very much for reading my Application!

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
I'm learning 3 languages right now. I speak English, obviously, but I'm learning French, German and Spanish. I know the basics of all 3 and a few words in Croatian, Polish, Italian and Mandarin. Spanish has to be my favourite - so I'm best at that. In my last school, I peer mediated. I know how to calm a fight. I know the basics of keeping everything well. I know my trades, I've been trading for over 3 years now so I know it quite well. Occasionally I help out on the Is-This-A-Fair-Trade thread, whenever I see something that I can answer. My rarities are at a low right now becuase I'm getting used to the new system but, I can still answer most questions on the Is-This-A-Fair-Trade-Thread. I stalk the help forums. I answer questions sometimes, but not as often as i'd like. I need to spend more time there, I admit. I also like to welcome new members sometimes too. I love to send the new csers free pets. A while ago, I sent every new member a bunch of pets. That was until I ran out of trade fodder x3 I also know how the forum works. I know how chicken smoothie works, so I call myself an expert. I get random PMs sometimes, asking for help. The amount of times I've had to explain how the BB code works, or how to link something, is crazy. But, every time, I am respectful and help the user. I know how oekaki works, vaguelly, but I don't trust myself on this. I gave up art a little while ago to concentrate on writing. So, this is my one weak spot on chickensmoothie. When Satamoru posted on the August Discussion Thread that we, the cs members, should report anybody cheating for lions, I checked over 50 pages in the member list, working backward, for people who were obviously cheating for lions. I pmed this long list of usernames to Satamoru. I always look out for cs members in need of help and do my best. I've helped a lot of members during my cs life and I'm nice and calm with new, or old, members. I also love gifting. I've gifted a number of dream pets to random cs users and I love looking in those threads in the cs free adoptions where you ask for a pet or item. I grant as many as I possibly can. Finally, I stalk the Chicken Smoothie Chat. Whenever I see a rule breaking post, I explain kindly how and why the thread is breaking the post. If they need to move it, where they need to move it, I quote the rules. And I also report it. I have recieved numerous PMs asking why "you got my thread locked" but I keep calm and cool and respond nicely. I explain the CS rules again and then, after a while, they understand and promise not to do the same thing again.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Becuase I love ChickenSmoothie so much. I've been on here for 3 years, and so I have quite a lot of knowledge. I want to be able to share this with the newer community. I remember when I was new and the forums just seemed like a maze, so I really want to be able to help members find their way around. I love answering questions, and I guess the same questions do get asked again, again and again but this happens to me a lot. I'm very familiar with the rules, and I want to help newer (and older) members stay out of trouble. I often get PMs asking for help anyway, and I discovered I like to help out around the forums. Now, I'd really like to help to the best of my ability. I hope I stand a chance with this (:

Thanks for reading my form, I hope I stand a chance.

1. What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
I registered on February 21, 2010 at 4:12pm c:

2. How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
10,571... and counting xD

3. How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I'm pretty much on every day. Chicken Smoothie is my favorite place to talk with my friends and practice my art, so I spend all of my free time here. Occasionally I'll skip a day or two due to vacation or a lot of schoolwork, but for the most part I'm actively posting on the forum every day.

4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
I spend roughly 3-4 hours on a non-school day (One when I first wake up, two in the afternoon to work on art and RP, and another hour at night) and 2-3 hours on a school day (One in the afternoon before homework, and another hour or two after I finish).

5. 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've been on CS for about two and a half years now, so I'm an expert at navigating the site, determining how fair a trade is, and properly using the Oekaki. I know all of the Chicken Smoothie rules and regulations, and I won't hesitate to answer a new member's question. I consider myself to be very friendly and patient, and others have asked my advice in the past. Even when others may spam or get on my nerves, I keep a positive outlook and do not feed into arguments. I feel very experienced and comfortable on Chicken Smoothie, and I feel up to the task of helping other members feel that way too.

6. Why do you want to be a General Helper? I've always been a newbie myself, so I know how it feels. From starting school in a new state to joining a summer camp to registering on a new website, I know what it's like to feel lonely, uncomfortable, or misplaced. And nothing can fix that dreadful alone feeling like a friend. I'd love to dedicate my time to making other users feel welcome or assisting confused members. I'm not super-popular on CS, but I am fairly well known, so from time to time I'll get a PM asking for me to join an RP or help with art. I would take the time to type up a nice response, and there's nothing better then the feeling of someone replying, "Okay, thanks! =)" and knowing that you were able to help someone. One thing that makes the Chicken Smoothie community so great is that its members and staff are so kind and willing to help another. I really want to be able to put into CS what I get out of it, and I can think of no better way then to do that then to become a General Helper. Whether I'm chosen or not, I'm sure that you will make a great decision! ;D
