Ok. I guess that I will go ahead and enter after I have the next answer answered:
Can general helpers be promoted? (Like to an artist?)

ok, sorry for re-posting again.....But I need this question awnsered too.

I think if you are only applying so that you can become an artist, then don't bother. Apply because you want to help people not for an ulterior motive.

This application is for General Helpers. If you don't want to be a General Helper, don't apply.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I am very good with trades, and I am pretty good at explaining things to others.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I think I'd be good at showing others around the site, since I am on every day. I am also good at telling people things over and over again, nicely. I don't get into many fights, if anything I try to break them up. I also wanna help the new members, and welcome them to the site.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): I have 341 posts as of this moment.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I visit Chicken Smoothie seven days a week.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I spend about 3 to 4 hours on Chicken Smoothie a day.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I speak both French and English, which has helped me communicate with other french-speaking people throughout the internet. Because I have been doing Kung Fu for over 10 years, I have learned self-control which allows me to keep my head clear when someone is being rude or disrespectful. As a Girl Scout, I am a Keeper Of The Ashes, which is an honor given to people whose personality allows them to help people impulsively without being asked to. I run an Adoption Center, which allows fellow users on Chicken Smoothie to adopt 2 pets per day (people who donate get more).
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I want to be a General Helper on Chicken Smoothie because one of my favorite things to do in life is to help people. My two favorite words to hear are "Thank you" when I help someone out. I have helped people on every website I've been a member of, including (but not limited to) FooPets, Chicken Smoothie, Wajas, and Neopets. I also want to be a General Helper because it will give me a better chance to spread my knowledge of Chicken Smoothie to other people in order to help them along and give them a sense of security here on Chicken Smoothie.

I have friends IRL that have just started playing CS. They ask me questions about oekaki, trading, values, and the rules. Usually my advice helps, I just have one friend that still thinks she can post anything in the forum. I take care of younger siblings at home, and I am an assitant conselor at a camp. I work with the youngest group of children there, I have to constantly remind them of the rules, punish some, and help them out when they ask or really need it. I also play on Horseisle and helped players out on there. They would pm me for help on a quest, horse stats, or just rules. I was also a mod on the thread Lav's Adoptions, but I really didn't do anything except read over the thread and make sure members followed her rules.

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

I really want to feel like I spent my time on CS helping out mods, admins, and players as much as I can. I want people to know that I love helping and that they can PM me if they need help. I also want to help people out and remind them about the rules so CS can be an even more delightful place.

Good luck to all, and thank you for taking your time to read this :)

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
7 days a week, unless I'm on vacation, or doing something else in real life that conflicts with chicken smoothie. ^^
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
Maybe 4-7 hours? C:
5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I have posted on "Is this a fair trade thread" before to help people, but I would not call myself an expert in any way. I know my way around the trading world to keep myself from accepting or sending terrible trades, but I have found myself asking for help in a few instances. But if trade knowledge is required, then I would be more than happy to learn for this position. As for other languages, I can only speak English, but in the near future I will be learning French. I can speak bits and pieces of Italian, but only a few sentences and words. ^^
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
I have wanted to be a General Helper since around the beginning of June, when this post was made on the thread "What's your CS dream?":

• Get a UR Tiger Dog

• Get tons of Store items

• Become a General Helper

I want to be a General Helper, not to be "cool", or anything like that. I want to be a General Helper because it's something I want and love to do. I have a little sister whom is starting Kindergarten this year, and I watch after her maybe once or twice a week. Naturally, we have our disagreements, (we are sisters after all. ), but helping her with stuff like getting her ready for bed, or answering her odd little questions is something I've found to enjoy. I have also started babysitting my neighbors, whom are a bit older than my little sister, but just as laughable and adorable. I love helping out, even if I'm using my own time. I have found myself in the "Introductions" board several times, welcoming new users to our site. I do not find it time consuming, but enjoyable. I see it as I'm helping the chickensmoothie community by welcoming new users, and helping myself by building character. I believe each kind gesture leads to another, and we can use all of the kindness that we can get here on CS. ^^ I hope you consider my form, considering I put a good amount of effort into it. Thank you, and have an absolutely spectacular day~<3

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? 3-4, up to 10 at the weekend I think.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I speak german, polish and english. I have a good BBC knowledge and like to explain profile/forum settings and pet values etc.
I am creative and objective.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I have no mission on CS anymore so I am looking for another "reason" to be active here. I also already have experiences in helping out with forums/sites in the past (mostly other hobby sites about games). I do just miss it.
I do currently spent my time on telling people if they break the rules or posted in wrong forum so I thin few PMs a day would be no problem. I also know, I made some mistakes on CS in the past (yep, I got a warning) so I´d like to help other users to avoid these.

Proud to say, I know a lot about trade settings, I have some screenshots on how to disable and enable a few settings.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

I love helping people! It's a great feeling to know that you've helped people when you go to bed, and that you've been smiled upon that day. It's definitely a good thing to get used to.

Good luck to everyone else applying :)

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position
I answer a lot of questions already on the forum. I PM people their answers a lot as well. I have had experience in many different parts of the site while I have been here. If I do not know the answer, I know how to search for it. If I still cannot answer a question I direct the particular person to someone who can. I help a few people with trades, telling them what is fair, and isn't. I have played as a peer-mediator more than once for friends, both in real life and right here on ChickenSmoothie. I am also a very patient person with people and I never get too angry at PMs, trades, or posts[and if I do get angry, I never direct it toward the person directly], and I don't hold grudges.


Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I want to be a General Helper because I feel I am fit for the job. I usually don't have a problem with many people. I don't hold grudges, for I think it only causes future problems. I am kind to everyone. I also feel that I could help a lot of people with trading. Though I'm not an expert, I know I have helped quite a few people in the past, and I am on the "Is it Fair" thread a lot, either posting or answering questions. I also feel that I am generous. Many times when people have asked for pets and if they don't have a wishlist or hoard pet of mine, I will many times just give it to them for free. I have been on CS for a while, so I know a lot about it and have a lot of experience. This site is a fun place, and I want to help show all members how wonderful it can be.
Another reason I would like to become a General Helper is because I remember when General Helpers [then called Newbie Helpers] were first brought about that they helped not only newbies but older members as well. I went to the Helpers to ask questions and I alway ended up getting helpful answers in return. Being a General Helper would be a great opportunity to show my skills and I think it would make me a better person both in real life and online.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Everyday of the week if I can Which is everyday.. xD I don't do much so I have a lot of spare time.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
I spend more than 5 hours sometimes. :3 But school is starting soon, and I have cheerleading practices and games, but I will try to spend more than 3 hours on here. ^^

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required):
I like to answer questions, but I have to admit I don't usually go to the other forums to help people because others are already helping them like the other General Helpers. I usually like to welcome people but I haven't done it for a while, because most General Helpers are all over that xD. I love to trade and PM and I am very talkative. I spend all of my times in the forums, but barely dressing my pets, etc. xD I am going to be taking Spanish as a class next year, so I can probably help with that ! I am really good with computers, and I sometimes go on the Fair Trade thread, so I can help out with trades if needed. I also have a FormSpring so anybody can ask questions there, if they even want to. I am a good role player and can reach literate in role playing. I am good at explaining things in a detailed manner.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
I feel like I am good for this job because I always like to help people. I don't mind having to answer PM's, I love to talk to people and help, though I'm sure everybody here is saying that. I want to make CS a great experience for everybody who joins. I want to make sure people who are having a hard time get the help they need, and that they can hopefully enjoy Chicken Smoothie as much as I do, because this is where I spend most of my time! xD The community here is so nice, and I want to help in return. I feel very good after I help somebody, and I encourage them to PM me if they have anymore questions. I just sit on here and role play, but I am ALWAYS on the forums. I also spend a lot of time on websites that people ask questions and you can help by answering, like Yahoo! Answers. I have a great (and wide) sense of humor, so I am always up to hear some jokes, and help cheer up people, even if I can't cheer myself up. Which is why I come on here, and like I said I feel great after I help somebody so that would make me pretty happy. So I will spend a lot of my time in the Introductions Forum and such. I am going to start acting in the Introductions forum. Even if I don't get the job, I'm still going to introduce myself to people xD Thank you for this opportunity and good luck everybody!

Sorry about the overuse of smileys. Dx
