How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I can spend all day on here if I have the time to. I'm usually on every day to see what's grown.

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've had a little bit of experience with peer mediation, but that was when I was in 6th grade. I can also speak some French. And I'm pretty good with rarities, though I always ask people to get a second opinion just in case. However, I can tell when a trade is blatantly unfair.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I like helping people. I feel like I've been on this site for so long and that it's time to do something to better the site in general. If people randomly ask me questions on other sites, I'm always ready to answer them.

I want to be a General Helper because I want to be able to help people around the forums and encourage them to one day help others.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 2171
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day of the week, unless a real-life incident occurs.
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? around 4-6 hours, but normally closer to 7 or 8.
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 stalk the suggestions and problems board, and as a result of this, I know all of the recent activity, answers to problems and rules on CS. Within this board, I also answer a number of questions. I love helping players who need advice, and it is a great feeling when you give support to another. I believe my knowledge of the rarities list is up-to-date, and my knowledge of the various ‘guides’ around. I have never turned down a plea for help before, and don’t intend to in the future. I have been told I am a generous and hard-working person, and I do go out of my way to assist others, which makes me easily approachable and friendly. To add to this, I assume my grammar is understandable so if I were to try and explain something, it would not be too confusing. I like to think of myself as an adequate BB forum coder, and offer help to those whom are having difficulty. I know this is not essential in the grand scheme of things, but I do posses a ‘FormSpring’ account, of which I advertise in my signature. This should be advertisement for the fact that a player is allowed to freely ask me anything they wish, without fear of being laughed at or turned down, as we were all new at everything once; that is the attitude I choose to take. I can talk small amounts of French and German ^^
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? Understandably, the role of general helper does hold great responsibility, but responsibility I am willing to carry upon my shoulders. I think being a general helper would not only benefit others in need, but myself, due to the fact I would gather ‘helping skill’ throughout my time as a General Helper, of which I would carry with me all my life. It would make me a more understanding and generous person; people of which there are far too few of. All I can say is thankyou for the opportunity to apply for this position: it is something I have wanted to be after a number of General Helpers taught me how things are done, when I was oblivious, and I feel it would be wonderful to pass that kindness and help on.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 1258(Until fairly recently, I rarely posted in the forums.)
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Everyday, unless I have internet problems, which almost never happen.
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Usually 4-8 hours, though quite often longer.
5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I can speak German, French,Spanish and a little Polish. I have had experience in peer mediation, and when I do trade, I take into consideration the dates, rarities and popularity of the pets offered.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? I'd like to be a General Helper so I can give something back to Chicken Smoothie. I know quite a lot about it, and now I know the rules, plus I'm always happy to help people, and I'm pretty patient. It's so easy to talk to people here, and on certain forums you can relax and get help from fellow users, if you have real life issues, or have a question, and I appreciate that especially. Plus the staff are great, answering questions, even if the answer is simple, and if being a General Helper would help take some of the workload from the CS staff, I'd be especially eager to be one.
Thanks for your time,

I assume they could, but it isn't guaranteed.
