posters. C:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? ;;
Unless travelling or dealing with serious family issues on a daily basis.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? ;;
It ranges but predominantly I spend a minimal of 2 hours a day. If I can I actually spend most of my awake
time online, seeing as Im just a very indoorsy person.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? ;; Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert?
Do you speak any other languages?
-I speak fluent English, Portoguese {Brazilian}, and French. I also understand {because of my Portoguese}
other latin routed languages such as Italian, Portoguese {From Portugal} and Spanish.

Have you had any experience in peer mediation?
-Yes, a LOT of that. Several fights have broken out on online SIM's and such and Roleplays of mine which Ive had to end.
However, thankfully, in the end everyone becomes friends again and it all goes back to normal. :3

Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum?
-Whenever someone asks a question on a thread Im checking unless all ready answered Ill answer their question. :)
While because Im a very loose handed artist I don't do digital but Im a very advanced traditional artist for my age specializing
in several different artistic styles. Im also very knowledgable on the topic of 'Art History' and as a result Ive taken the liberty of helping
out a few novice artists online through PM and I tutour them in art. ^^

Any other Points?
Im a semi lit roleplayer, participate in adoption agencies, SIM's, the oekaki system and Im


-I know how to do url, img and basic html coding so I can help anyone who needs assistance with that.
-I very rarely trade but yes I know a lot about trading, though personally I prefer to keep my pets to trade them off for art.
I understand that you should never trade a very rare august 08 for a couple of 2 month old rares and such, and that also certain pets although less rare than others are much more desirable when trading due to popularity. Yes, I do consider myself a trade value expert. C:

1. What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply) 23 Sep 2008
2. How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) 1704
3. How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Everyday, I pretty much do nothing else to do... On rare occassions, I might be away but it would be probably 1 day per two weeks at most. It's my home page.
4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Hmmm, about 5-6, but not at the same time, and not only on cs. Like, I might login in the morning for an hour or two, and keep CS in the background tab refreshing from time to time. That's my "inactive" being here, but when I'm active I try to enter all the boards and discussions, looking back to new replies of my posts and etc. and I'm constantly browsing around.
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?) Well, I try to be friendly, and if anyone snaps at me or is rude, I won't attack them but will respond in a normal human way. I have been here from almost the beggining(without an account though, I made one two months later), and I think I can handle it - rarities and question things. I also have a handful of pets, not that it matters, but when I see someone who really wants a pet (not just to trade it, but really wants it) and I have it more than once, I don't mind giving it away for nothing. And I would love to welcome new people on the Introduction board. Also, when I see a question I usually PM the person who asked it with an answer - and I know basic html, like image codes etc.
6. Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well, I've always wanted to help CS in any way I can. I try to apply for all of these, but usually I never get picked. It's worth the try though - I'd love to help around people.

What date did you register as a CS member?: Sep 26, 2009.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 2620.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 days a week.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Two hours is not unusual for me, though it can be a bit more or a bit less.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: Well, drawing is my passion, and I know rather a lot about Photoshop, Photobucket, and opening an art shop on CS, as I have had a few semi-successful ones, and I have learned how to price art effectively. I'm also very familiar with the CS Oekaki, and I will be willing to give any tips and tricks to someone who doesn't know how to use it. I am not one of the biggest experts on rarities, but I have a sense of equality in trades/etc. Like drawing, I also enjoy writing, and believe me when I say that misspelled words are one of my pet peeves, so you don't have to worry about that! I also type fairly fast, so I can answer many questions quickly. I have a vast sense of humor, as well, so I will almost certainly be able to bring a nice cheery mood to a user with a a question. I have also made a few very close friends here, whether I know them in real life or otherwise. Since I'm so active her on the forums, I will easily be able to find and answer questions that someone might have posted. I am also fully willing to read through long pages of posts.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I love CS. I've been here for two years, and never once have I considered leaving. The community is amazing, the graphics are amazing, and the staff is amazing. I would be absolutely honored to contribute in a small way to the well-being of this fabulous website, since it needs all of it's members to play their part in making it grow. I want to play mine.

Thank you so much for this opportunity, and good luck everyone!

Okay, I have read the whole thread and a while back Ricorn said if the other person isn't active, they don't have to fill out a form. So, I'm trying for this. Candy is in Turkey with no internet access (I think). She isn't even active anyway. Here I go:


What date did you register as a CS member?: 1st December, 2010. Which makes me exactly 8 months (Six fifty four pm if it matters.)
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 1380
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 days a week, unless I am on school journey or somewhere where there is no internet access. Or if I am at my Grandma's/Aunt's house, where there is no internet.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?Hmm. On weekdays, 2 and a half hours. On weekends, maybe five to nine hours. Maybe more because I don't count. Even if I have another tab open. Oh, and it's not continuous. On and off, because I have a life outside of Chicken Smoothie
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)I know a bit of Spanish, but it's hardly any so you shouldn't count it. After the holidays, I will be learning French at school. But my English is fluent and I know how to speak to people (like, if they are an adult, I wouldn't speak with slang. That's rude and disrespectful. But then again, I have no way to know if they are an adult. That is why it's best to talk respectfully to everyone ^_^)

At school, when someone needs help, they come to me. Apparently, I am the smartest in my class, so most people ask me for help in subjects that I'm strongest in (Maths and Literacy). Whether it's relationship help (it ended out VERY badly, but I tried), new comers or general advise, I'm quite good at helping.

Even though I have only been here for 8 months, I have a general grasp of pet values. I sometimes contribute to the "Is this a Fair Trade" Thread but I do not know much about 08' rarities. I frequent the Chicken Smoothie Chat forum regularly and if I am unsure, ask for help. Everyone needs a bit of help sometimes.

I stalk *ahem* visit the CS Help and Problems Board quite a lot. I have been doing so since... March? I look at all of the problems and see if I can help if someone hasn't already solved the problem. I don't look at Oekaki problems because I am terrible with Oekaki. I haven't downloaded the program necessary for it. All other problems, I try my best with.
I also am quite good with BBCode, but total rubbish with HTML. I can Link, Bold and italic. I can do a few more things, but I'm no expert. That's Nick.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I would love to be a General helper. I am easily approachable and not at all scary I hope. I love to help people and have a sense of humour that only I have. All my friends love talking to me and if I can't solve the problem myself, I would direct the person to a mod/admin/other general helper if appropriate. I wouldn't get all big headed if I was accepted (Look, Ima general helper! I'm better than you lol) but I would take my role as seriously as possible. There are times to be serious and times to be jokey. I know which one is which. I can deal with problems and it would really make my day week if I was chosen for the job.
Thanks for considering me, and good luck to everyone else!

APPLICATON

What date did you register as a CS member?:

(if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply): I applied on Fri Jul 10, 2009.

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

I have right now 9,567 posts made and counting.

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

Right now I spend just about everyday on CS. But I know when school starts I might be on a bit less. However I'd still spend at least a few hours on since my school has me on a computer just about all day.

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

More than I'd like to admit. I usually have a tab of CS open all day and I occasionally browse around every half hour/ hour. And I'm usually on the computer all day from about 10AM to 5AM. I usually stick to the creativity section of the forums but as a general helper I would probably start browsing more forums to see if there's anything that needs to be answered.

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?):

Well I'm a mod/owner at several threads (6 to be exact. I run 2 of those) and so I'd like to think I'm good with answering questions. I also try to answer questions I find or try to direct people to where they might find more help if I cannot help them much myself. I'm not a trade value expert as much now since I am back from a bit of a hiatus, but if I wanted to I could pick up the values after a bit. I'm getting much more patient with people as well, if that adds anything. I am decent at several art programs including Oekaki and I could lend a helping hand with people. I can also do a bit of coding on the forums so I can also help out there.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

Last time I wasn't allowed to submit an application due to my account age being too young by a single month. But I genuinely do enjoy helping people and I help run several threads to prove it. But I really would love to help out Chicken Smoothie in general which yes I can try to do on my own time even if I'm not a General Helper, but If I were then people could find me better and I could probably be a bit more efficient. I do admit that I would feel a bit honored to be helping officially with the CS website in some way and being a General Helper is a nice way to do so.

I want to edit my form, but I can't find it anywhere...

[Trexxa]

Your form is on page 17, I know because I saw it when I went to edit mine.

[Darkest.Nation]

The search bar isn't working ATM, so I think you'll have to skim through the pages.

1. What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)

Jul 22, 2010

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

1608

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?

I have CS opened at all hours of the day as long as I am home and on the computer (or occasionally my iPhone). Admittedly I may be browsing/searching around for only about 4 hours in total, daily, and this would likely be my average time even when summer ends and the semester begins.

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?)

I do not answer questions around the forums, more out of respect towards those that are helpers and mods, in case I step on toes. But I do speak Spanish, and maybe write decently enough to be able to be... understandable, and assist in the most basic form. I can understand it when reading, but I have never learned to write Spanish myself (I try!). ^^; As an older member of the community, I find that I have the time and ability, with few obligations that really keep me away for an extended period of time with a willingness to help.

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

I may not be a well-known name or as actively seen around CS as many others I have come to know, but I spend a lot of my time enjoying a few small niches, browsing on the site, and making friends. Above all, I enjoy giving back to a community which I have grown attached to; since I've joined CS in the last year, I spend the majority of my time online at the site, as it is more than just collecting pets to me.

The more enjoyable moments I've had on CS are when I had been able to help out in some way, as I tend to be very empathetic towards players when they are confused and still learning how the site works. I try to make myself approachable, and have offered to help or give advice in those few times where I find myself available to offer it.

I am also very patient when it comes to new players and understand the maturity that is needed when dealing with a community with a majority of them at a young age. While I may not know everything there is to know on CS, I do hope to be able to learn and help if given the opportunity, providing support to CS staff to the best of my abilities by relieving some of the questions and problems that arise that can be solved easily.

Thank you for the opportunity~!

Why do you want to be a General Helper?I enjoy making people happy when I help them. It makes me feel good on the inside knowing I really did help them. I sometimes get PM's asking for help and I try my best to help them out. I like to help people with certin problems that they can't find the answer to. It is a joy to me to help them out.

I hope that I made it in time....... Thank you Tess for opening this up. I have been wanting you to!
