1. What date did you register as a CS member?

I joined November 11, 2008

2. How many posts have you made in the forum?

2474

3. How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

Around seven days a week; even if for just an hour or so.

4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Usually it can go up to 5 or s6 hours; although on weekends from 10:00 in the morning to possibly 6 or 7 o'clock at night.
5. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?

I speak fluent spanish [in a few different dialects] and sharpen my language skills in classes I take. I am also an expert in seeing the middle solution; so that both sides of a problem or question can be answered. I also elaborate when clarifying a question or situation, so that there is limited confusion to the user or player I am answering/assisting.

6. Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert?

I am very fair when it comes to trades; if I feel that I may be getting less or more than I should I either edit the trade with something on my wishlist that they have, or I cancel. I actively trade at least once or twice a day, and I've posted several times on the 'Is This a Fair Trade Thread'; whether or not I'm asking or delivering help depends on the trade I receive. I also understand the concentration of certain pets and clearly know which pets are more sought after than others. If I ever receive a trade I also think about whether or not the pets I am receiving are worth the wait for rarity and if the pets I am delivering are going to be worth the same. I am a stickler for rules; seeming as I have only five I enforce them even more now that what I expect in the least is for a user to glance over them.

7. Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum?)

If the question is understandable I will answer with the solution I find most likable by different users. If the question I see is confusing or I simply don't know the answer, I won't give false knowledge, but I will instead leave the thread and not post at all. I'd rather post stating I don't know the answer, rather than seem like I know the solution and give out fake/incorrect information.

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

I enjoy helping new users and contributing to a better Chicken Smoothie forum. I've also always respected the rules of this wesbite and it's forum; to the point of enforcing them on my own threads and on other threads I moderate. I have been a helper on many threads for quite some time, and I genuinely love knowing that I'm shaping the future users of Chicken Smoothie's forums. Just having the opportunity to become one of the highly respected few is quite nerve-tingling; to help users is my goal on this website and now my purpose on Chicken Smoothie will be more structured now that I can help players as a simple form of job preparation. I would love to give the best experience possible to both old and new users of Chicken Smoothie and it's forum.

Thank you so much for this chance at a job with the staff of Chicken Smoothie; I know that if I were to be picked I would execute the duties to the best of my abilities c:

Are you a Trade-Value Expert?: In all honesty, I think I'm pretty decent at it c: I hang around the "Is this a fair trade?" thread a lot so I ketch on to the main trading impotence. So, yes, I feel that I can tell the fair difference between a fair trade and an unfair one :3

Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
Well, having done peer Council/mediation for four years straight, I purely enjoy helping people. I spend an ungodly amount of hours on Chicken Smoothie, so why not try to help when I'm here? I am a devoted person who likes to work at things to get it done, a good skill to work with in an argument. Because the people I have lived with for over half my life know many languages, so do I, therefor I can not only those who speak the main forum language (English I would assume) but I can also help people outside the language barrier. This would be an absolutely amazing position to have, and I would enjoy it too. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity, and good luck to everyone else out there!

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Around 5-6 hours, but spread out during the day
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?)
A few years ago I actually worked with younger children and this included reading with them, helping with crafts, and also, one of the boy's mom came up to me one day and told me how much this meant to her and all the things that I had been helping her son with was helping her son too! Also, when I do projects at school, I am considered a leader because I am good at helping people with their part of projects too! I also am pretty good at considering good trades, and sometimes help my friends with trades when they need help. I am good at figuring if a trade is fair whether it is my trade, or another persons! Also, once a new player PMed me, I think they had seen me in forum posts, asking for some help, and I helped them with what they needed. Also, since I have been here over a year, I know a lot about the site, and could answer questions about signatures, trades, trade rules, questions about the forum, and other various things about the site. Also, I know new players often have questions and I would be VERY willing to help with any question, and if I didn't know that exact answer, instead of them asking someone else, I will try to help them as much as possible, and help people become as informed on here as much as I am!
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I would like to be a general helper because I love Chicken Smoothie, and doing this will help the site run smoother! Also, I would love to help people!!! I have always been good at answering questions, and I think my help will make people informative like me some day! Also, I will ALWAYS follow all of the rules on here, and I would like to help people if they have any questions about the rules! I would not like players to struggle with getting their questions answered on the forums, where they have to wait and people might not see their questions, so if I were to become a general helper, I would look at every single PM no matter what it says, or if I can't not answer their questions exactly! And if this happens I will do my best to answer their question as best I can!

Thank you for considering me! I would love to help Chicken Smoothie since it is one of my FAVORITE sites!!!

Oct 23, 2010.

2. How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
2297

3. How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Everyday.

4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Anywhere from 3 to 8, depending on what else I have going on. It's always open in a tab. :]

5. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
I was actually a peer mediator for a while in high school. I'm not fluent, but I do understand most Spanish, and I'm self-teaching writing it. I started a dreampet group called The League of Extraordinary Pets which currently has 273 members and counting.

6. Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I love helping. If I don't know an answer, I don't give up until I find it or I find someone else that knows it. I am very friendly with new members and I love showing them around when the opportunity presents itself. I remember being a newbie and I remember the the people that helped me out when I was, and I'd like to be one of them for others. :] Being a GH would direct them to me. I never mind questions even when they become repetitive, and I've been told I'm good at explaining things. I really do love answering questions because I learn things while digging for the answer.

I've been less active on the forum lately because I've been busy with art things, but that's finally tapering down and I'll most definitely be more active if I am given a position. Thank you for the opportunity to apply. :]

Good luck to all applicants, and congrats to those awarded a position.~

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I usually get on every day except for the odd day where something prohibits me from doing so.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 3-4 while I am out of state on holiday/ on weekdays during the school year and 5-6 on weekends/when I am in my home country during the summer.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I am about 6 months - 1 year away from being completely positive that I can say that I am fluent in Spanish. I am studying in for lack of a better term as I am not sure if it's called the same thing in other places, computers so rest assured I can easily navigate my way around a website and give "directions" for those looking for a part of the site. I feel it may be applicable to add I am planning to study Psychology and human behavior soon so expect respectable well thought out answers.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I love being a part of this site, I have been a member for about three years now and I just feel like I could be more helpful to other members.

I have been a tutor for children for many years and always use my leadership skills on group projects, even if it means taking up a lot of slack. I did moderate a small website, but it is no longer up and running unfortunately.

I've been a member since very near to the beginning and really want to do more to help this wonderful site. I love helping people in anyway I can and feel I could really do well as a general helper.

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: April 7th, 2011 - I also had an account before I left for Foopets. I quit Foopets then returned CS without knowing that I deleted my old account that had my precious pets on it. I know you won't believe my story, but, it is true, though I have no edvidence.
2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 953 - 954 once I post this
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Mostly every day unless my friends are over or I'm out of town.
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Most of the day [yes, I have a life ^^'] And all of the days of the week.
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 was always answering questions on Foopets since I was on there for atleast 2 years, and I already have many answers to CS questions. I will be taking spanish once school starts, but, I have no history in taking any laguages other than english. I am pretty useful when it comes to japanese, but only if someone's speaking it, not typing it. I can always use online translators, though.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? I been thinking how fun it'll be to be part of CS staff-ish and to have such responsibilites. When I saw this post, I thought "What a perfect chance to be part of CS staff-ish and to help the other CS members!" When I read the rules, I saw "8 months" and I thought to myself, "I still want to help the other CS members! Give it all you got, Hayden!" [Hayden's my name ^^]

Thank you for, hopefully, reading ^^ I'm sorry if I took up your time,

Flie.
