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

7012 posts

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

Every single day but when I am taking exams.

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

Two hours during the week, and about four during weekends, if not the whole day.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)

I know how to use Oekaki very well, have good knowledge of the tools and such. I speak english, portuguese (my original language), spanish, german and since I have family in Italy, I know well the basic and a few more. I have helped a few users before with questions such as for forums and signatures and the like.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

Honestly, I love to help people. Makes me feel important, and also somehow releases me from some sort of weight I may feel. Also because it's a job that I'd really like to have someday: to be part of a site staff. and I consider myself pretty much experienced around here, I've spent a nice time in the forums and know the site very well.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) 403
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7! Haha I'm online every single day (:
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Five on weekdays since school has started for me (ugh lol), and about eight on weekends.
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?) Well, on Facebook I am the admins of two pages, one which has thousands of people on it, I used to own my own website, and I help with Bayside Equestrian Stables here on CS, so I answer questions a lot. I can also speak some Spanish and German (....and English... duh XD). Plus I know how to deal with questions that are well, kinda stupid.. I also know how to use all the Oekaki tools and such. AND I'm homeschooled. So I'm home all day long and can answer questions at any time of the day, I also stay up really late so I can answer questions from people in a different time zone promptly (for the most part). And even if I'm not at home (to be honest, I don't get out that much though...), I have an iPhone, so all I gotta do is click on Safari and CS is always already up lol.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well because I do see people asking questions and it's great that there will be people on here that it will be their jobs to help them.(: Plus I think it would be a great opportunity to meet people on CS. And I've never gotten any warnings or anything, and I don't have have enemies on CS or anything. To be honest, I think it might be fun, I do like helping people(: And I know I'm not nearly the oldest member, but I do know the rules. Thanks for even considering me(:

You didn't apply all that long ago, so it shouldn't have been too hard to find.
It is on the page right before your re-application ^^;

What..? I now understand that, but I did search on the page before that, but I seriously don't know why, but my computer either glitched out, or...I'm sorry. XD

It does that. You can't search for it in the topic or find it in your posts. You just have to remember approximately which page yours was on.

What date did you register as a CS member? I took care of my best friends pets and half of their posting since around Christmas in 2011, I made my own account after summer started this year.
(Their username is Read My Signature)
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying)? 906 on my account and 2,278 on my friend's account.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day unless I'm camping or have to much homework, which is rare.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? At least three, today I think I've been online for 5+ hours because there's nothing to do...
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I know how to solve arguments most of the time...if it's an argument of who's better with Dr. Who or Harry Potter I can't do much... I can give advice about bullies too
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Well, besides I like colorful stuff, I think it'd be good for practice for arguments in my life. You see, I used to get teased on the bus but since I joined CS a few people told me how to handle the bullies...I guess I just want to thank them by helping other people too...

1. What date did you register as a CS member?
Sat Jun 06, 2009 10:16 pm
2. How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying)
8050 (plus this one)
3. How many days a week do you usually visit CS?[b]
A good 7 days on most circumstances. I like everyone else have times of vacation and other events. With school starting it may go to between 5-7 days still.
4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Between 6-12 hours on a summer day/weekend. With school it will likely be between 3-6 hours then.
5. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
I am currently learning Spanish, I will be in my second year and continuing throughout my school education. I use the oekaki often but I wouldn't consider myself a 'master'. I know my way through roleplays as well.
6. Why do you want to be a General Helper?
It would give me something to do and I'm completely fine with helping people and the same questions over and over again. I wasn't the smartest when I began and could have had many questions answered for me. I currently am in the Adopt a Newbie thread right now as well and answer newbies questions if I see them. Anyways, it would be nice to help people and have more to do online and actually be on for more if a reason than I usually have.

What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
My official registry date was January second, but I started adopting off account a week or so earlier.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): Eight hundred thirty eight
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
It really depends. Mostly every day, with the exeptions of vacations and real life issues. Once school starts, most likely 6.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
I would say two hours MININUM. At the most, eight.
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?)
A couple friends joined CS a little after I did, and all I did for the first week or so was help them with everything from making a signature to trading for rares. Some say I have a 'knack' for helping, even with other sites and software.
I have no idea how this relates, but I only ask for help in dire situations. I'd rather figure it out myself than having others guide me through every step.
Another misc. bit of info, but I work applications such as photoshop rather well. I find that photoshop is very similar to oekaki in a way, so I know what the tools do, but am not the greatest artest.
I know a little French, and some Croatian.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I just want to give back to the CS community more, to be there to help and to ensure a good start to new users.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Everyday, on average.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? During the summer it is typically two hours total but during the school year it's typically 3-4 and can be much more during special events and the beginning of the month.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I think that I have a lot of knowledge of this website and more particularly the smaller details that include where everything is and how to work things. I remember what it was like being new, despite it being a few years ago, and I remember adjusting to different parts of the website. I've also gone through a lot of it's changes (such as the layout) and have easily adapted so if there were to be future changes I feel I would be useful in those situations where even older members may be a little confused. Also, while I may not be a trade-value expert in the least, I know many of the trade helping threads and would be able to point them in the correct direction as well as explain how they could help and perhaps what else they have to learn when it comes to trading. I know the oekaki as well and while I'm not a talented artist I like to think I've practiced enough (even if I haven't posted everything) to know everything (at least almost everything) there is to know about it! Not to mention that I like to think I'm a fairly kind person to knew members and if I notice them do something wrong or incorrect or something of the sort then I try to point it out as best as I can. I also have a lot of time on my hands and I often get a little bored on the internet so being in the help system is something I would do frequently.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I've always wanted to give something back to Chickensmoothie. After so long I've been just another member going about my personal business here and I'd much rather be going about helping others more if I can. I think putting all I know about this website would be very helpful to new users, or even not-so-new users who still have troubles with certain aspects of the website. Lastly, I've always loved seeing questions on the forums and messaging the user to answer. Of course I could easily do that without being a General Helper, and I do if given the opportunity, however I feel new users would feel very welcome to see that colored name and think "they're important to this website and they're taking their time to help me out!" unlike other websites where the staff don't take much notice of their users. As a new users I was always feeling special when "colored-named users" talked to me because they're the people we look up to. Even if it's a General Helper's job to help, they're doing it because they want to without personal gain aside from the satisfaction of knowing you helped someone and probably made their time on Chickensmoothie easier and enjoyable.
