1.What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
My sister and I were both on a COPPA account before (bubble gecko was the username, we joined during mid-Nov. 2011) but then she quit that account, so we transfered all our pets to this account and deleted that one. I've been on this account since late Feb. 2012
2.How many posts have you made in the forum: (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
405, from this account...
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Everyday, unless on vacation, but I will most likely say that in my siggy.
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Minimum 3 hour or more. Never has been less than that.
5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
I am pretty good with computers in general and I know CS pretty well too. I am a good RP-er as well. I don't know many languages besides English, but I know a tad bit of French, Spanish, an German. I don't generally use the Oekaki, but I know the basic stuff. And I know my rarities pretty darn well.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I have seen many helpful people on CS and I've always thought that I want to be like them. Being a General Helper would be a good start. I am nice and funny (I guess), but I know when to be serious too. I got scammed a bit (on my COPPA account) and I couldn't do anything about it, as I was COPPA'd. Then I started looking around on the Forums even though I couldn't post. I found many tips, half of them given by Helpers. Being COPPA sorta helped me realize what I wanted to do.

What date did you register as a CS member?: I registered on January 6th, 2011, but I left for a month or so and have been active since I returned.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 2230 posts
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: I usually visit a few times daily in Summer, and probably once a day when school starts up.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: I usually stay on all day, probably a good 7 hours or so. When school starts up probably not as many, but I will do my best to get on as much as possible.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: My school trained me and my class specially in peer mediation, and I like to think of myself as a helper-type of person. I'm great at resolving conflicts and issues, and I know my way around CS and am very knowledgeable.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?: Because I believe I know a lot about CS and I would love to be able to help out other members. I'm not usually active much on forums, usually because I can't find much to do, but I would love to be able to go there and answer questions. I'm also willing to answer private PMs with questions and help out at the help center. Overall I believe I could really help out on CS and be a great General Helper.

What date did you register as a CS member?: September 22, 2011

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 2,386

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 7

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Most of the time I'm on for at least 5 hours. On busy days, I'm on for at least 3, and on not busy days, I'm on for about 8. During the summer I'm on about 12. (I sometimes hide my online status, but I'm still on.)

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required): I speak a little Spanish, and this is my second year taking it. I also have people I can ask to translate for me if I need to. I know how to use the Oekaki and it's tools. I'm calm most of the time, and I've never had a board warning. I've also been a Moderator and Administrator on about 6 different roleplaying sites. I like to look at the Suggestions and Problems board, but I don't normally post there, although I have a few times. I also think before I speak and try not to get into fights. I've also had a fair number of problems in my life, real life and on the internet, so I feel like I'd be able to help people with the same problems better than someone who hasn't.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I think that being a General Helper would help me learn how to stand up for myself. In real life, and on the internet, I don't like to stand up for myself because I'm afraid that they'll get mad and do something bad to me. If I became a General Helper, I feel like I wouldn't be afraid to stand up for myself and it would help me in real life too. I also love to help people, and I will go out of my way to do things for others. I think that being a General Helper would be a great experience, and I'd love for people to know that they could come to me for help, because I'll always help anyone that needs it to the best of my abilities. I've always looked up to the General Helpers for advice, and I've always dreamed of having being one ever since I joined Chicken Smoothie. This website has given me so much, and I would love to try and give back.

oh, we got nothing to prove

i said hey, it's alright

even if it's only for tonight
i said hey, it's alright
if it makes you feel alive

What date did you register as a CS member?:
I registered on Friday, April 8th, 2011.

How many posts have you made in the forum: (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
Currently I have made 1,328 posts on Chicken Smoothie.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I log onto CS every day, vacations being an exception, of course. There are very few days since I joined that I have not logged online.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
It depends. Probably a minimum of 2 hours, maximum being 8. This varies day by day, though, depending on my schedule. I always try to make it online, though. c:


Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:

Yes, there are quite a few things that set me apart from some other members. I speak basic Spanish, it is not my primary language, though, and a very small amount of other languages. I am excellent in the forum-part of the site (I know where certain threads belong, posting problems, etc.) and can also help with the site functions. Although I'm not an experienced artist, I like to scribble around with Oekaki and I am familiar with the tools. I absolutely love helping people, it is my passion. xD I am very patient and can provide screenshots when necessary/helpful. I am a Technical Producer and Global Moderator on Pet Raiders. I am also a mini-mod for Guess a Pet = Win a Pet. I browse the help forum a lot, although many questions are answered before me (I am usually uploading the helpful screenshots onto Photobucket while others are already typing the answer. ^^")

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Well, I'd love the opportunity to help newer members more often and to help improve my favorite website. I have adopted a newer member on the thread Adopt A Newbie. (This was the member I helped out, if you were wondering ^^) Although I have not been here as long as some of the older members, I can promise you that I know the site very well.

Thank you for considering! c:

1.What date did you register as a CS member?:
I registered on May 3rd, 2011, at 4:31 pm

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
6000+

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every single day. I dont like missing stuff on here C:

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
I spend 3+ hours everyday. I wont be on until about noon, since my phone recently got broken, although Ill be more than willing to spend more time on here to make up for it.

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 can speak spanish, and some french, which could possibly be helpful in this position. I have also had experiences with peer mediation, I was selected to be one as a younger kid (in 5th grade) Ive had plenty conferences with people, and helped them solve their problems with each other. I dont know much about trade value, but I do know if a basic trade is fair or not, although I dont express this in the fair trade thread. Ive had PLENTY of experience with oekaki, and id be willing to explain and help out with whatever problem a person faces me with.
I also, am a very good person to talk to. Ive been told many times that I can cheer anybody up, and I personally think thats a great skill to have when your a general helper, since you are helping people out. I might face somebody who is ranting about personal life problems, and I could be the one to help them figure it out.. or at least talk about it. I love sitting and chatting with somebody about things that bother them, and end up giving them some (amazing) advice <3
I browse through many forums (often) to see if anybody could use my help, and If I ever see anything on the TTAY (Lol) thread, I Pm them often, and try to help them out. Im often see on the sketches and experiments forum, Characters for pets forum, art for pets forum, in the roleplay forums, ect, But I could make it a daily routine to look through each and every forum.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Ever since day one on here, Ive seen the different ranks on the CS forum, and my dream on here is to become at least one of them, a general helper is a wonderful choice, seeing as I already help alot of people ^^ When I first joined, I looked up to the mods, and the helpers/ect, and itd be wonderful to feel like people are looking up to me. I want to be a more helpful person in the CS community, and being a general helper would make this possible, even though I can do it without the little colored name, it would make my place, and my help more defined in the community.

7. Other?
I have had art theft warnings before, I admit that. But the reason is because I was young, and new to anything besides facebook. I really had no idea what art theft was, and I remember being so confused and lost. I really didnt know what I did wrong, but looking back - I feel bad. I know right from wrong on CS now, and I hope you can overlook that small mistake when I first joined.
I recently had another, but it was due to me forgetting about the characters I had sold. I believe this was cleared up, but Im not sure. I had really forgotten, and none of those characters were sold again. I hope you can also overlook this mistake, because other than that - Ive been a good CS member, and id love to help other people learn and eventually grow in the CS community.
CS really changed me, the mods, and the generous, caring people here. I really hope, you guys choose me so I can do the same for others.

APPLICATION

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
I joined Chicken Smoothie on Monday September 12, 2011.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
I have posted on the Chicken Smoothie forum 434 times.

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I normally visit Chicken Smoothie every day of the week.

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
The time I’m on varies from two to four hours, depending on how busy I am.

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 already know how to do a fair amount of BBC code, such as how to do links with images and how to make special things like bold in fonts without the buttons. I also know how to edit images as well. I also have a fair amount of knowledge on chicken smoothie, such as where different guides to things such as the oekaki and the site rules. And I would like to put that knowledge to good use. Plus I have a lot of time to devote to this position, and am willing to spend most of my day doing so. I am also a very friendly person, and I almost never get angry with people. I also have a lot of patience, and don’t mind having to spend a lot of time on answering the same question over and over again. I love to help people as well and thoroughly enjoy doing so. I also know my rarities quite well and am not easily scammed.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I would like to be more involved in the chicken smoothie community, and would like to reach a bigger crowd of people to help. I also would like to be a general helper because I want to do some good for the greater benefit of Chicken Smoothie. Plus I would like to be able to help people, and to help newer members feel safe and warm instead of a sort of lost and scared feeling some have when they first come here.

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

    3437


How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

    7


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

    At least 4 hours on busy days. I can be online a lot more if needed <3
    (Even on extremely busy days I can also get in my mobile, which I usually have in desktop version, to help out if I cannot access any computers. On your average day I spend about maybe 6-7 hours online)


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?)


    Well, for one I enjoy answering questions in the CS suggestions/problems board if they aren't already answered :lol:
    I welcome all new members, and am part of various clubs to help them out whether its with rarities, trading, or whatever else they may want. I always give them tips when trading, and almost always keep my cool when dealing with new members who know absolutely nothing about the site. I have referred various members on CS, about 5 or 6, and I love to help people in general. I use the oekaki pretty frequently (even though I'm not very good, haha) and I do know how all the functions work, and can link to some nice tutorials and examples. I know almost everything there is to know about not only the oekaki, but I also know a lot about rarities and the rares list and where to check your trade and even where to show the good trades you often get c: In addition to all of that, I also am currently learning Spanish, and can speak a bit. What I can't speak, I can have my dear friend translate for me. I have had quite some experience in mediation as being a problem solver around a lot of friends fighting and such. My friends have dubbed me with the nickname "resolver" too. :'D


Why do you want to be a General Helper?

    I would love to be a general helper because I just enjoy helping people! As I have previously explained I know a lot about the oekaki, often browse the CS Suggestions and Problems board and know all of the great topics that are often needed by new members as a form of guidance. Helping people is my passion, and I really enjoy when I do. CS is a big part of my life, and I love helping CS any way I can! I have worked for years aspiring to become something of importance on here c: I remember when I was new, and having someone to guide me was great and extremely helpful. I believe that general helpers help make me who I have become today, and I really appreciate all they do for CS. I know some people are just doing this for the "fame" and the "I get to be a mod", but really I am here to help, as any good player. I really want to become a general helper because I can help impact somebody's time here on chicken smoothie, and hey, you never know, maybe I'll even help someone become an expert on everything there is to know about Chicken Smoothie.
