How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
everyday.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Hm, since it's summer I usually have the CS tab always opened and spend at least 3-4 hours depending if I don't have anything in the way. During school, a good 3 hours. (for all 7 days of the week)
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
I speak spanish, so I can help spanish players with that and french. With peer mediation, I do have plenty of experience with that, sadly. If it doesn't involve me in the fight, then I listen to both sides and try to reason with one another. If that doesn't work, I usually try to put both arguers down so they can see each other at the same level. I don't answer a lot of questions on the forum, but I am on it regularly and I do pitch in in plenty of RPs and games. I wouldn't call myself an expert in trade-value, but I do know a lot about it and the rarity of each pet. The only thing I don't know is what it'll be fair against, of course I can just read and learn about that any time.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I guess just to help people out. I love giving free pets to any new players and telling them what to do. I don't say it on the forum, but I do PM them to start a friendly conversation. I guess I can't really write down why, I just do and it's not for the "fame" or the color changed of my name.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 12,236, not including this one.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I visit about each day, depending on how life is going.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? It ranges about 3 to 8 hours a day.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I speak decent Spanish, but not fluent. I also recive PMs from random people once in awhile asking help from me.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I like to help new people, as I have already answered several questions new people have sent me via PM, plus helping people makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love to explain stuff, so explaining how to make an image post or other questions like that won't be a sentence or two. Also, I think this will be a great job for me as I am going into high school here soon and it might teach me some skills. My friends tell me I'm very calm, which I have to agree with them, I am very calm for my age. I also want to be General Helper because I will feel like I actually have a reason to log onto CS and not just to stalk the forum games or roleplay thread. :3

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: November 17, 2010 (almost nine months ago!)

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 1594 and counting

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 7 days a week! Not counting when I'm grounded or on vacation.

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: On days with no school or church, between 6 and 12 hours a day. On school days, usually at least four hours. On Sundays, at least five hours. Usually, nothing else effects my day.

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?: I have practically memorized the rules, and I learn well from my own mistakes, and sometimes other people's, too! Haven't you noticed I haven't made any of the same mistakes twice in a long time? Also, I am good with helping people who need it.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?: To help those who need it.....and so I'm not bored all the time with nothing to do. A duty like this would benifit both me and those who need help. However, even if I don't become an official general helper, I can still help out, but an official title thingy will make people actually pay attention when I try to explain something.....

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) 2912

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 days a week, unless I'm incredibly busy with school, or am on vacation. If I'm on vacation I still try to come on.

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Between 2 and 6 hours, depending on the time of year and day. In summer I can come on all day, unless I'm on vavcation, as I said above. During the school year on weekdays it's still at least an hour or two, and about 2 to 4 hours on weekends.

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I've been learning french for a little over two years, and can speak/understand basic french. I've worked at camps and such, so I've had experience with peer mediation, and can handle fights or other situations calmly. Over the past few months, I've been going on the new members section of the forum and helping people with their problems, and sending new players pets. I've also been on the site long enough to understand the rules, trading, the forum, etc.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well, I love helping people, and I think this would be a good experience to have. I already help people on the site anyways, so I figured this would be about the same, except now more people will take me more seriously. And I love going on this site, so why not combine the two?

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Usually I come on all week. Sometimes I'll go on vacation, but depending on where I go, I might be able to get on.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Usually I stay on all day. Then again, school's coming up, but I think I'll be able to manage at least three hours, whether it be actively posting or just keeping an eye out for something.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I'll admit, I'm horrible at learning languages. I know a little Spanish, but that's about it. I'm taking French his upcoming school year, so I might know some French in time. On the other hand, however, I'm great at helping others. I was a part of a "Peer Buddy" program for a semester in my middle school, which is where a disabled student is paired up with another student for a period. I also was in charge of school tours for the incoming sixth graders to my middle school for a few years, for both the tour during school and during the summer, and would of done it again this summer if my brother hadn't had surgery...What I'm trying to say is that I know when to be soft and I know when to be a bit strict when explaining things, and I'm able to explain things in great detail. If I can't, I know how to reference someone to someone else to answer their questions. I'm also very open minded, so I can talk to a lot of people about a lot of things. Also, I love to give gifts when I can to random members.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
There's a few parts to that. One, I need to learn to be a bit more social. Sure, I can talk to people, but I'm not naturally social, so sometimes it can be bit of a forced thing. Two, I guess I just like helping people, and I feel that being a General Helper will open me more up to that. Three, for the fun of it! To broaden one's learning experience by interacting with more of the general population though anything is always fun! Yes, I'm a nerd.

No less than 2 hours no matter what day it is. No matter what, we always have CS open in a new tab.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position
We do speak French and German, well, but not fluently. We do also help out quite a bit on the 'Is This A Fair Trade Thread' yet we do use it ourselves if unsure.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Helping others is first nature to us- sharing, helping and caring. We have good communication skills and we are patient to explain difficulties that need to be overcome. Say someone sends us a pm with a question on "how to do something" we always make it first priority to reply. We do also check up on the regular list of newbies and send them a 'Hi' every now and then.
