[Bolt1784]

How old are you? (this question is optional): I'm eleven years old, and I'll be twelve in june.
You've been a member for how long: 13 Months, so basically since February 2009. =3
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: Alot, is all I can say. x3 I get on every day almost, no force around could take me away from this website for over a day unless I'm on a holiday. D8;
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Of course I do, silly!
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Yep. I get that already anyway, with newbie roleplayers. XD
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I find it horrible when people bash the new people to ChickenSmoothie, and I normally send a PM to anyone new here to say welcome, and to ask if they have any questions about the website- Normally I direct them to the introductions board to start off. ^^ I am being truthful when I say this, of course. I know what It's like to be a new user of CS, as we all do, and It wasn't very nice to be bashed at how I used chat-speak all the time, and I don't like to see the same happening to others who mean no harm and just want to enjoy ChickenSmoothie like we all do. I understand and know very well that we don't get any powers or whatever, It's not about that, right? This job is about making other people feel welcome on this awesome site!

Even if I don't get picked for this job, I will gladly welcome everyone onto ChickenSmoothie and help them to feel welcome in an un-stalkish way. X3 So, good luck to everyone else who has applied for the job- It's nice to see so many people eager to help others.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: I've been a moderator on hunterandjack's forum. but that's more for friends etc, and on an adoptable site's forum, but now the site's long gone. *Le sigh*.
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: I've gone blank. o.0 I'll have a think and see what I come up with, eh?

[Olivia]

How old are you? (this question is optional): A little over 13 and a half.
You've been a member for how long: Let's see, about 1 year and 3 months? I'm not exactly sure but I've been here since September '08.
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: I honestly spend about 2-6 hours a day here. Sometimes more. I go to Cyber school so I check back here often throughout the day. (Like right now I'm taking a break from school.)
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yes, I do believe I can answer pretty much all of the newbie questions.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Yes, I always try to be friendly about it, too.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I want to be a newbie helper because I really do love to help. I've had newbies PM me asking for help and I've explained things very clearly and in a friendly manner. One newbie PMed for several weeks asking all sorts of questions, I answered every one and I was glad to help (They even told their friends, who were also newbies, so I was getting tons of PMs. XD). I also stop by the Introductions, Help, and pretty much every other forum (except the 18+ one, XD) reguarly, to see if there are any unanswered posts or questions. I go to the "Is This a Fair Trade?" thread and similar help threads quite often too, answering what ever I can. I truely do enjoy helping people and I will always try to be the nicest person I can be. I think this would be the perfect job for me. ^^
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: No, sorry.
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: Not really, sorry again. XD

[Mara.]

How old are you? (this question is optional):
I am 11, if it matters ^^

You've been a member for how long:
Since October 7th 2009, but I have explored and I know a lot about the site. So about 4 months, going on 5

How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?:
About 3-6 hours every day

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?:
Yes, I am alomost 100% sure I can answer most site questions

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?:
Of course, I can relate to when I used to when I didn't know much about Cs. :3

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:
I love to help others and answer questions in a friendly manner. I don't care how annoying, if it is to help someone. I have had Pm's for help from others sometimes and I help around the forums a bit when newbies have questions. I also feel this is a good way to meet new people and to make more friends. I am patient and I will not get angry no matter how rediculous the question. I want to be able to help out to make it less work for you and the mods and others to answer question, I do not have a short temper or anything and I will not 'yell' or get angry at anyone who asked a question. ^^

Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link:
Yes, some. Here in the introductions board, and a couple others on questions like PPS pets {Before that 'what is PPS?' thing was put in}, fair trades board, and some others. I was also asked to be one of the moderators for this thread.

Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?:
A bit, but NewbieHelper makes the most sense. XD Possibly 'Helping Hands' or something like that.. X3

Even if I am not picked, thank you for this oppertunity and consideration. ^_^

[Alzephyr]

How old are you? (this question is optional):
I’m 19 years old, turning 20 in April ^_^

You've been a member for how long:
A year; join date is 01.15.2009

How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?:
In the average day, I spend about 5 hours: two before class, and 3 after. However I find myself steadily staying on longer and longer

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?:
Yes I do, since I’ve experienced it before; I was new once and had asked the very same questions before.

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?:
yes, I believe I do. I’m a very nice person, and love to meet new people and friends on a daily basis. It’s an experience in itself just to meet someone new And just because one person may know the answer to a question, doesn’t mean everyone else does.

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:
I’ve always enjoyed helping people. On a number of occasions, New CS Members would send me a PM asking how I got a certain pet, or even asking how to trade. Every one of them said that the reason they asked me for questions is because they saw how nice and personable I am. When I first joined in January, I remember being completely lost... Sure there are threads with some basic information, but I still couldn’t figure out how to do some of the things everyone else was doing (naming folders to organize pets, changing the pets to other folders, etc.). I want to help the new CS members as best as I can, and hope that they don't have to go through the same confusing and awkward experience.
Also In the real life (CS is like my other world ) I work as a Peer Assistant and manage the front desk at my college. My job is to be polite and answer any questions the students throw at us. Most of the time, these questions have been asked before, however we (as the Peer Assistants) have to continue showing kindness and aiding those who are confused in academics, lost finding their way across the campus, and even pointing them to where their professor’s office is. No matter the question, we can generally overcome it. And if we don’t know the answer, we find out and learn from it for the next time. As you can see, CS is not very different from my job, so it’d be great to perform my job both in real life and in CS.

How old are you? (this question is optional):
12, I will be 13 in April

You've been a member for how long:
Since November 7th 2008, so to round it off, I think it's 15 months

How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?:
Roughly four hours a day. Weekends roughly five or more

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?:
I don't want to be too cocky, so I'm going to say I can answer most questions with confidence.

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?:
Over my CS life, I've had to gain patience. I know I'm not the most patient person in the world, but I think I can deal with it. =3

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:
When I first joined, I was pretty clueless myself - I was ripped off a lot for my pets, I didn't quite understand things either. So, I want to prevent that from happening and make sure the newer members have an enjoyable time and can understand things; all in all, in the end everyone's happy. ^.^ I do enjoy helping out, and it makes you feel so good in the end when you do help someone. Sometimes, if I see someone new and if they have a question, I do like to PM them and answer their question and tell them if they need any help that they can feel free to PM me.

Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link:
I do not have experience, but I am willing to learn and I can catch onto things quite easily.

Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?:
Sorry, but I am hopeless when it comes to naming things.

[Keriae]

How old are you? (this question is optional):
13, 14 in April.
You've been a member for how long:
1 year and 3 months.
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?:
I spend about 6 hours a day on CS, from 3.40PM to about 9PM-ish. I used to go on at school, but CS has been blocked. I also try to get on in the morning, although my mum spots me, so I'm only on for about 10 minutes.I always come on about al day at weekends.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?:
Yes, I often look at the problems/suggestion forum, and help.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?:
Yes. I always help at school. I think I have the patience, and it would be good to help. I help a girl in my year who has Aspergus (?), and I don't have a short temper.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:
I want to return something to CS, and I love helping. It would be great to help, and I'm sure that I'd enjoy it, helping out with all the newbies. I don't really want a custom, so I don't mind that I will only get my username a special group colour, so I am regognised. I will always try to be friendly, and help with the newbies, showing them where to go. I wouldn't mind all the PMs, as this is a good way to help CS feel friendlier. I would help Spread The Love! After all, we were all once newbies, I renember the way CS used to be when I joined!

I have noticed people being quite mean and unhelpful to newbies, and I think this should change. Why do mebers have to be unhelpful to the newer members? It is normally only mods helping, and I know my way around the site very well, and I can help the newbies learn their way around.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link:
No, I haven't, this would be my first time, so, if I am chosen, I would try my best.
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?:
Umm.... Helping Hands, CS Official Helpers, CS Helping Paws, I don't know, anything that has a ring to it, but is easy to renember.

I hope that was alright, not too long, and easy to understand. I understand if I aren't chosen, I can see many people have applied.
