What date did you register as a CS member?: January of 2009.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 10,575.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 all year 'round. Excluding the occasional Vacation, going to my dad's house, etc.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 6-8 during summer, 3-4 during school.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required): I know a lot about the website, and how it runs. I can help people with how to change their signature, Avatar, Block PM's, Change the usual CS green border, etc. I've already helped a few people who haven't understood something on here, who've asked me. Personally, I find that explaining something over and over is kind of fun, I have to explain a lot of things already over and over at school, to my friends; So I'm quite used to it already. I am good with solving arguments, and staying calm throughout the argument. I'm good with solving problems as well, and find it fun, as well as helpful to solve others problems. Given that I get in quite a few arguments myself, but I do answer respectively and calmly at the other person, trying not to continue it any longer. Sometimes I get those once-in-a-while bad days, but that hardly happens anymore, but if it does, sometimes I prefer not to talk to anyone. Mainly I don't get them though, so I think that I will be fine to speak calmly to members. I like to welcome new members; I don't normally post on the Introductions Board, but sending a new person a free pet or two, and welcoming them lets them feel more comfortable to the site. It also gives them the idea that this is a friendly site for people to chat, trade pets, have auctions, etc. I'm not too good with trade-value, I know the basic's of it, like dates, rarity, high demand etc. Other than that, I'm completely lost. English is the only language I can speak fluently, I know some french, but only the basics, like "Hello." or "Could I go to the _____" and that's about it. I know a tiny bit of Croatian, but not enough to actually be able to make any use of it. I also have a quite cheerful attitude, and it normally helps me make friends around the site. My cheerful attitude could be directed towards the new members/Introductions board/CS Suggestions and Problems board. I'm good with using the oekaki as well, I know everything there is to know about the oekaki if anyone needs to ask about it, I'm all set to help. Also, I'm good at pointing people in the right direction when it comes to things. If they don't know where to post to get started, I would help them get a step in the right direction.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I would like to become a General Helper so people will be less confused on the site. I see a lot of people asking things like "How do I change ____?" or "I don't know how to do ______! Help?" I want to be able to help them, all while having a good time, joking around, and being friendly towards the user. Also, it would be fun to introduce new members to the site, and also help older members who don't understand something on the site. Going to the introductions Board, and reading people introducing themselves, and introducing myself back, and helping them with anything would be quite a lot of fun. I enjoy reading about other people, and their interests, and helping them with anything they need help with. At times it does get a little annoying when people type in chatspeak to me, but I can understand what they're saying, and still help them with their problems. I also find it absolutely thrilling when you're name is a different color then others, as you stand out to people, so they know they can ask you for advice, and get help. Also; I want to be chosen as someone who doesn't abuse their privilege of being a General Helper, like being rude to member, or anything like that. I don't abuse a privilege if I get one. I also would like to be a general helper, because it helps expand my horizons of warming up to people. I don't know a lot of people on the site, and I think it would be a lovely idea to meet more. I enjoy talking to random users, as long as their kind and polite, and not rude towards other members. If they are rude towards other members, then I'll try to coax them out of it, and try to make them a kinder user here. If they are just all out rude to everyone, and I can't help them with their problem, then they'll have to suffer the consequences of moderators. I also would like to become a General Helper, just to have fun with other users, and joke around with them. Sometimes I can help them in the process as well, and even make some new friends. Also, I would like to be one just so members feel less lost around here, and so that they get a step in the right direction when they start here.

It's exciting to see the applications open for this, and I thank you for your time reading this.
Good luck to everyone. ^^

Hello Tess! I'd love to become a General Helper, but approximatley seven months ago, when I was no more than a new, confused starter, I admit I comitted art theft. Now, I am more familiar to the rules and regret it. I hope it's all right if I apply and understand that I probably will not make it.

-I am learning how to speak French and know a tiny bit of Italian and Spanish,
-I am a peer mediator and have much experience with problems, knowing what to say, how to react and respond, etc.
-I get a few questions through PMs which I always respond to. I am also a mini-mod a quite a few threads where I am always open to questions
-I never really trade, but I do know a lot about (pet/trade) value and posts to reference off of on the site ^^
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I would love to become a General Helper because I love to help, make visual guides, ask and answer questions, when I first joined and posted on the Introduction forum, I was greeted by WildDragonfly. She became a rolemodel to me and I really did look up to her. I loved to have such a great helper and wished I could be like her. I wish all new and old members who post could have such a warm greeting like WildDragonfly gave me.
I would be willing to give my time to be one and help with this great website's players. I understand it will be slightly hard-work and time consuming, but I'd love the feeling and the honor of being a general helper.
I'd help enforce so no one would make the same mistake I did.

I wish everyone good luck! :)

For starters I'd love to say a big special thankyou to Tess,nick and all of teh CS staff for handiong out a HUGE oppertunity for average members of cs to become a General helper! It's a big thing for most,but for me, It's HUGE!

Firstly, My name would read clear in Green ((What is the BEST colour ever..no affence to ther colours ^^)) saying ROBOO. It's easy to see, and im known to help to calm down arguments and concider myself a trade-Guru.. I'm open minded and can give opinionated,true and interesting answers to questions that pop up for newbies to cs. I can incourage other members to pm Mods e.t.c questions that need answering, I can help them out through the questions and give thought out answers.

I always treat ALL members with respect ^^ i never get into fights with other CS users and i am a trust-worthy person ^.^ Meaning people can swing/send me a pm anytime with their problem and i shall answer as soon as possible :3. I am very happy and depending. I am happy to explain things over for either old or new members. To tell them about the important cs rules and what they should obey ^^ . I dont mind because i am a dependable,energetic,bubbly person who never EVER will snap at others.

I am always active and post ALOT((as you can tell with my reasonable amount of posts,what are 7285))I have a friendly and positive attituted Towards other playes, even if they step a foot out of line,im still cool as snow,not with a firey annoying attitude, otehrwise i wouldn't apply! :3 . I know i can be calm even if members fire mean,annoying,rude or dissrespectful towards me,as a person not on cs, i am still as cool as ice/snow. i know alot about CS and its dependable rules,I know about who to contact if they have a problem they wish to explain ((they can be turned to chuck a pm at me ^^ even if un expected)) I know how to edit your profile ((Changing username without changing password,keeping same username with a different password,editing your signature etc)) I also have a wide mind on how to set up trades aswell as how to change your avatar ^^.

I can be responcive and be depended on along the CS Suggestion and problems board to see frequently asked questions are being asked, i can be dependable by answering ASAP ^^. I am also responcive toward the Introductions board to warmly welcome new cs members. I can also help members across andaround the fourm whenever i stumble across members having problems.

I am sure im trustworthy and capable enough to become a General helper, Just because i love to help people in need! i just love to help-out others! Plus im like a CS addict and know ALLthe rules off-by-heart ^^. I am a cheerfull,Bouncy,Helpful,Trustworthy,Jokes and can be a clever-clogs at times x3 .

Why do you want to be a General Helper?I want to be a general helper because I love talking to people and helping them. I would like to help out because I love this site and want to be a bigger part of it then just a user/ player. I also think I would be good for the job because I never get mad (I believe life is too short to be mad at anyone or anything for that matter and when you died you will regret all the time you where in a bad mood and wish you just would have never be mean or short tempered with anyone) I know it sound harsh but I truely believe in it. This is probably due to the fact that when I was younger I was mad once and a while and then I realize all the things I missed out on because of it, but I also realize is that you shouldnt make other people mad to because it makes them miss out on things. anywhos I also believe in the golden rule (treat people the way you want to be treated) because I feel horrible when someone disrespects me so why should I make someone else feel horrible. I also go to this place where twice a week a group of me and my friend go out and help a organization and I really enjoy that so I know I will be more then happy to help out. I also love looking through the problems and suggestions tread and help poeple there too ~thanks for your time

EDIT * I forgot this one sorry i realize it right after posting

I have always been able to connect with people easliy ~ thanks for your time and I hope you can reward me the honnor of general helper

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
3092(i only just started posting in my opinion.)
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
As many days as possible(normally everyday), it also depends on my schedule of the day.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?-
at least 2+ hours; 6+ hours on a good day
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
I can speak Spanish and im wanting to learn Japanese. I tend to be good at settling out fights and giving someone a basic tour around Chicken smoothie. Most say I'm Kind, and when correcting someone i usually use facts(like rules on the Chicken smoothie Forum), not opinions. I also just feel nice when i help people out. I try my best to make everyone i meet happy (even though some were rude, i tried.) and if they are happy im happy. i don't particularly consider myself a trade expert, but i know an unfair trade when i see one. Im OK with chibi paint, i know the basic functions and i can supply simple facts and tips on how to make art better. I know how to edit a Url code for a Drawing so that the Background is transparent, and i also know how to change the size. I consider myself a Good Role player, but not an extreme Literate role player, ill occasionally be literate but mostly semi literate and lower than that. I can point out basic rp Topics to help a new member so they can have a healthy role play life.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I love to Contribute in things, once again i love helping. I don't mind if I'm asked for help, and also i see it as a chance to make some new friends. But also, i would like to give back to CS, for there are very nice people on here, and they don't freak out when i ask way too many questions myself. The oekaki helped me widen my diversity when it comes to art, and seeing others writing style helped me with my own.
But overall i just want to help. Also i think it would occupy me more on here, sometimes when im alone i just stare at the screen, and ill run around the forum and read the locked and other important topics for updates and stuff. So i need something to do in that time and any other time.

I would like to apply ^^

[color=# What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
I became a member on October 3rd 2009. The best day of my small life
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
12559, yes, I am a very active poster ^^ I love posting I could do it all day if I wanted to!
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Seven days a week. I love this website so much. <3
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
About nine hours a day...yes, I am obsessed with this site because of all the nice people, unless I'm on vacation and there's no WiFi at all anywhere near where I am.
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?)
Um, actually I don't answer many questions in the form, but out of the forms yes I do. (Through PM) I suppose I know trade value, I've been trading for about four years now. I'm very bubbly, peppy, polite, and just plain old sweet, I'll never bite, snap or even say anything that is considered rude. The worst thing I said was, 'I'm sorry, but I don't have any of this pet to spare, please forgive me. I'm really sorry you didn't achieve your dream pet BLANK, but I'm sure there are plenty other users who'd be willing to.' I even answer on fair trade threads. But if they're asking me how much 500 dogs is worth, that way take some time...Anyway I do speak some Japanese, some Spanish, and even some Italian. I also am very polite to members, I have never gotten on a blacklist. I'm VERY polite, I've never ever been rude to anyone on here, I love all the CS members.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
That is a pretty complicated question, I have a variety of answers but mainly I just want to help young users. I'd be so very pleased to ever get a 'rank' on here no matter what. Pink is one of my favorite colors. I love spreading pep,and peace between others also, and most importantly...I remember when I was just a little 'pup' on the CS forms, and I would see other users bully other users, including me.
So I told myself, 'How can we help this situation? How can I help other people out?'. I first started out (once I began role-playing) making a rule for respectfulness, but no one would listen. So when fights broke out I had to settle it down through PM, no matter how 'small' the situation was. After that I gave really good pets away on stupid trades, when I finally noticed the ranks I got pretty upset. But never angry. I gave advice to the newest members on ranks, 'cause I knew the older members would take advantage of them, which wasn't fair. As you see in my signature I consider myself a helper, I get regular PMs everyday and also have time to answer. That is one reason I want to be a general helper. If I don't make it at least I'll know that I gave it a shot.
Good luck to all the other users who want to be helpers too ^^
