Because I truly enjoy helping others with questions or any other problems. I rarely ever lose my temper or ever snap at people. I would love to have an opportunity to be a helper on this lovely site. Thank you so much for your time!

3. If I'm at home, every day.
4. Typically for 2-3 hour periods throughout the day, but if I'm leaving I try to log on for at least 10-15 minutes.
5. I tend to have a lot of patience, especially with newer members who don't understand the forums, rarity systems, etc. I also know these topics well and can answer any question a new member might have. Also I have no clue if this helps, but I'm taking a class in Latin ^^;
6. General Helpers have been very kind to me, especially in the past when I was just starting, and I think it's my turn to help the new members that might have the same problems as I did.

You need to meet all the requirements so if you haven't been here long enough, then you won't qualify.

My Application

What date did you register as a CS member?:
I joined the CS community in November of 2009, on the 26th.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
3,307. I don't RP much, so my posting isn't as high as others I've seen.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
I visit CS everyday of the week, as it is my favorite site.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
Every day, I spend about 4-6 hours online, maybe more, usually logging in multiple times a day for check-ins that will last about a hlaf an hour. So I don't get on for long periods, but I spread my time around to give people a chance to post.

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 have been on CS for a while now, and I have gotten many PMs from users with questions, and continue to reply to all of them with my best abilities. I have been a a teacher in lots of events for my Church, and am considered a leader and a very helpful person from my friends, parents, and schoolteachers. I have always been open to help newbies and give them any tips and free pets when they need. I'm currently learning Japanese, know a little bit of Spanish, and know full English. I have posted on almost every forum on CS, have an art shop, write stories, and love browsing the Problem/Suggestion Forum Regularly. It's a pleasure to be on CS and I have gained lot's of knowledge of rarities, fair trades, posting smarts, and manners while on CS. I know my trades well, and enjoy helping newbies learn what's fair and not fair. I want to make CS a better place for everyone!

Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
I enjoy being helpful to people who are stuck, and want to spread my knowledge of CS's forums through the site. It makes me proud to be able to help out, and if it became my job here on CS, and would do it with pride and to my best abilities. I've always looked up the other helpers and wished that I would one day be recognised here for my helpfulness and kindness to others. I will try even harder then even to answer questions and help out! I never snap at people, even in a bad mood, and am open to all and everything anyone has to ask me. It would be a pleasure to become a General Helper and I promise that I will help whenever and where ever in the forums I can. I now solemly swear that if I am elected to this position, I will give my all to make CS a better place for all, the new users and the old.

I also want to add:
I thank you for giving me the chance to become a General Helper! I appreciate you reading my form and considering me. Thanks Tess and all the mods who are helping pick the new General Helpers! I know it must take time and much effort to really find out who's best for this important job. I, as everyone else, wants their form selected, but I know that your choice is best, and I respect your opinions. I just want to tell you how grateful I am that you opened up such a great oppertunity for me and many other users. I will be happy whether I get the job for not, because I knew I tried my best, and that there's always another shot, as CS is constantly growing. I am glad to be part of this! Thank you dearly!

1. What date did you register as a CS member?:
May 3rd, 2010
2. How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
1,064
3. How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
All seven, unless it's impossible for me to access the Internet
4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
5 hours at the least and 10-12 hours at the most (including most of my free time)
5. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
I speak some Spanish, but I can comprehend most of what the person is saying. If I'm not sure what they mean, then I'll go to Google Translate. I learn more with each day, though. I'm usually the one that my friends go to when they need help with something, school related or not. I'm a straight-A student, so it's not a problem for me to help them, and it isn't a bother either. In fact, I actually enjoy helping others. I don't mind devoting my time into guiding members throughout their experience on CS. I'm very kind and understanding, and I won't get frustrated if a member is being rude. Also, I don't have much to do on CS, so I could spend most of my time looking for and answering questions anybody has or welcoming new members. I don't mind getting PMs from random people with questions, and I'd be able to answer them fully and quickly as I'm online very frequently. If I don't know the answer to a question, which doesn't happen too often, I know what to do to find it. I know just about every rule, including most art rules.
6. Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I think it would be a great experience for me. I already love to help people, so why not make it my job on CS and be able to help even more? It would be a great way to meet different kinds of people and see different cultures. Also, this would be a good way to put my spare time to use. CS has given so much to me, and I've been wanting to give back. I feel this if a perfect way for me to help the community. Making somebody's day just by helping them fix their problem would make my day, and I'd love for it to happen every day. I've always admired the CS staff and General Helpers for all the hard work that they do, and I hoped for a chance to be a part of them one day ever since I joined CS. It would mean a lot to me if I was looked up to and earned a reputation for being able to help the CS community. The coloring of the name or any other benefits doesn't mean anything to me, I just want to help the people that have given so much to me, and for those people to have the best CS experience possible.

Thank you for giving me the chance! <3

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): As of this post, 5,433


How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day, no exceptions. C: Even on vacation, I check on my iPod Touch and Cell Phone, I also bring my laptop, so if there's a hotel with internet I'm covered.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? During the daytime usually around 7-11 then and on around all hours at night. I'm on more at night than in the day.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I've answered quite a few questions with forums, I have a great understanding with trading rarities, I'm learning French, and know some Spanish. I'm pretty patient with people, and know right from wrong. :) I'm on CS almost all day {because I have a life xD} and know the rules, and read the stickies.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I want to be a general helper because I spend countless hours on CS, doing nothing half the time. I'd love to make chickensmoothie a better place by helping out. I'm very skilled when it comes to helping out with computer things, I'm great at figuring things out. C: I know some HTML, how to use basic forum codes, linked text with words, ect. All questions I see on the help section all the time. ^^. I try answering when I can, and as of now I'm positive that hundreds of users are probably jumping over each other to answer questions because of these applications. I really love helping out, especially on my favorite website I couldn't ask for anything more. I've gotten PMs from users before on how to use a signature, avatar, and linked text and images. I answered best I could and helped them out to. If I was chosen to be a general helper, It would motivate me more to help people, and I would be more likely to enjoy CS, knowing I'm not some random member, but someone who has a special position to help all the other members. I could help out more {although regular members could do that too.} Having a colored username doesn't make it any more special, I'd just love to have the title, "General Helper" under my name to let those know I'm here to help. I have referred friends here, explained everything to them, all the basics, everything else. {Hahah, my best friend and I have sleepovers and we just go on chickensmoothie half the time.} My signature would be more organized of course, with "Any questions? I'm here to help," or something like that. I feel like I've been a member for a long time, know CS inside and out, and know I'd have a great chance with this. Chickensmoothie has thousands of members, posts, and pets, only to grow even more. I feel like it'd be amazing if I was picked. I always use correct grammar, my posts are easy to read. The only exception with me being online is the rare occasion of a vacation, but I would post it in my signature, saying so. ^^ I hope you like my form, I don't want to bore you with details like, "If you do this my life will be complete" or anything, and I wish the best of luck to everyone else. :) Thanks Tess for this once in a lifetime opportunity!

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Most weeks, everyday. I sometimes have to go places, go on vacation, etc.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I hate to say it, but around 3-8 hours a day.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: Well, I visit help forums and things like that from time to time just to see what questions get asked the most and what questions of mine have been answered.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I want to be a General Helper because I know that I am on CS a lot and love to help people learn new things. I have been on CS long enough to have some people know me and to figure out the ropes. I also know how to do almost all things that people usually ask about. I want to help the CS staff a bit, even to just take some off of their workload. I want to be a General Helper because I know I am capable to take on that job, no matter how insignificant. ^_^

Thank you for this great chance to be of help to the ever-great CS staff! ^^

What date did you register as a CS member?:

I registered on the Twenty-Sixth of July, 2010; just over one year ago - And I've never been so glad that I've signed up for anything in my enter life, I adore it on here.

How many posts have you made in the forum:

At the time of applying to be a General Helper, I have made approximately 16,222 - this is because I adore roleplaying, and am basically always lurking around the forum games, general discussion and other threads where I can help out my fellow chicken smoothiers.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

I'm always on all seven days a week.

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

If I'm at school and have clubs and whatnot on, then generally around anywhere around six hours, however if I'm off of school, or have no clubs on, then I could be on for even a grand total of Twenty hours a day believe it or not, although it's generally around fifteen. On average though, I'm on for about eight to eleven hours. I know, I'm very active. My life revolves around CS. <3

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

If anyone's having trouble with English, you could always ask me, personally, I'd say that my grammar is basically as good as possible, and I'm always understanding If anybody has difficulties with spelling, grammar, or just the language in general. Also, I'm always on the general discussion, introductions and CS suggestions and problems forums mostly, although I go around all of them a lot, trying to help out as well as I possibly can with everybody's problems, whatever they may be - from needing Help to really use CS, to even life problems that's going on, I'm always one there to help out.

On top of this, as I am on so frequently, I'd say that, that is something very useful for a general helper, as I'll always be on if anybody needs any questions answered, and no matter what, I'll do everything I can do to give you a descriptive answer that's able to be understood. I've even been a mini-mod on a number clubs and armies and created a forum for newbies on the introduction, so I've had the opportunity to help out on all of them.

At school I've also had the opportunity to be the head of house, which makes me very responsible and reliable, and I'm a very amiable and caring person all of the time too. Whenever I've gone to sports camps or anything, even there I've been set as a leader to help out and lead people, aswell as having the chance to help with younger children and children with disablilites problems too - which shows that I'm a patient individual.

Aswell as all of this, I'm very familiar with the trading system and know what a fair trade is for definite - although I don't trade anymore, I'm still good with all of this too, and here to help out If anyone's unsure.
By the way, although British English is my native language, which I'd say I exceed in, I also know a little drop of French, a tad of English, and a little of basic Latin too. As I own around six French dictionaries however, I've always got one beside me if anyone would rather speak in French to me, and I'd try my best to structure my sentences correctly.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

Basically, I'd just completely adore to have the chance to help out all of my fellow teenagers/adults and children of all ages on here with their problems, as this could really help out with some of the things that I'd love to work as when I'm older, which consist of Myself, having to work around children all of the time, and may even have problems on their minds, so I'd always be there. Also, everyone I know says that I honesty sound like a psychiatrist at times, as when I don't even know some people, and I overhear them talking to themselves when something's bothering them, I immediately dash over and try and figure out the problem.
Overall, I'd just love the opportunity to try this, and this could help me train and some day gain the chance to be a moderator on here even, this would be such a great chance and everything.
Either way, thank you so much for taking the time to read through this- you honestly don't know how much that means to me, just to know that this has been read over. I assure you, if I ever get chosen as one, out of the hundreds of people who'll probably post, you will not be let down with your choice.

Thank You, once again.
I love you, for giving us all the chance. <3
