Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I remember when I joined, I had literally no idea what I was doing. I was pretty horrible on the forums and I sent some pretty nasty trades (it's hilarious in retrospect!). I like to think I've gained some experience, and I'd like to share that experience with new users. I'm hoping that I'll be able to offer some solid advice and support to those who need it. C:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Most of them. I'm almost always checking back, making sure, etc. so usually.
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'm a third year French student, and 4 year is the maximum in my school. So I'm fairly good with French kind of questions. Also, I've helped a lot of people, I'm a sort of counselor help in my school, which is fairly annoying, but I still love doing it.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?: Helping is all I wanna do right now

Sorry, this is a work in progress I have some classes to do.


I have gotten warnings before, but they've been long cleared or for stupid reasons.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Seven. I'm homeschooled. ;3

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Sometimes all day, but probably four to six on average. I often just lurk, not posting unless I have something to say.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
I am learning French, and I know a good translator if I need help for a certain word. I talk to many people with mental disabilities, and know how to help them. I trade often, and know how everything works. I'm also knowledgeable in BBcode, and know a lot about every board. I know with editing the profile, making bookmarks, grouping pets, working the oekaki.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
The thing is, I am already a General Helper and a teacher - just without the colored name. If I see a question I can answer, I already answer it. If I don't know the answer, I show them somebody who can. The title is just something of an acknowledgement, something of a shiny arrow pointing to somebody saying, "Here they are, ask them". I already help many users who ask questions, though it is often via PM.
I was here when we had no Newbie helpers (as they were called at first). I had other members to show me the way instead, and I already do that. While I don't need the salmon name to help, I think it would help me to have the color for members to find me easily. But whatever the case may be, I will always be willing to help other members find their way around the site.

What date did you register as a CS member?:
November 12th, 2012, so I'll have been on here for a year and two months tomorrow <3
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
3130, 3131 after I have posted this x3
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day, unless I have something really important. (Although I have easier access to my ipad; I can still do most things the same as if I would with a laptop.)
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Maybe 4-6? I have school, and lots of homework but I do try my best to still get on.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I am not fluent in another language (but I am learning it at school). I like to think that I am a nice person and I'm really approachable if someone is in any trouble. I never speak to people like they are less important than me.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
It has been my aim for a LONG time to be at least a small part of the staff or helpers on this amazing website. I am not old enough to compete for any of the other posts, but I think the General Helper spot would be perfect for me. I would be happy to help, and I have quite a lot of spare time that I would love to spend helping everyone and knowing that I am part of the team would be so cool! <3

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying)?
717 total, I was only recently uncoppa'd.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day (7 days a week). CS is a huge part of my life!

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
4 through 5 hours on weekdays, around 10 on weekends.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
I can speak and comprehend Italian; whether or not this would be helpful is questionable but I felt like including it anyways. I personally believe I have a good understanding of rarities and the Rares List. I'm quite familiar with BBCoding and have good spelling and grammar. I'm also on Eastern Standard Time, so I believe I could contribute my hours at some times when many others are not available. I strive to be as friendly as I possibly can and I adore helping others.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I remember when I was new and a COPPA, I had no idea how anything worked. I didn't know why I couldn't post or ask anyone and I didn't know what the Help Tickets were. Now that I'm familiar with CS, I'd like to help out as much as I can. If I were to somehow magically be chosen, I would spend all of my waking moments scouring the help forums(which I already do) and manning the Private Help System. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

I enjoy helping with coding. I love coding! I can do rares list trading pretty well,
but I can't do rarity math. I am pretty good with german,and I help people with
coding alot,I teach my two wonderful best friends coding,Stormie and Lucid Dreamer.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Well,I remember when I first joined,I asked alot of questions and I still do.
I want to help those people that ask questions,like me. And, I want to clear
CS of inappropriate things,because of a past experience with trading. I
also wish to help on December 18th,so that new members will keep their
important pets.
