Looking for 'newbie-helpers' - applications closed. choosing

[Lock]

I'd like to apply. I really want to help out the site in any way I can. 83

How old are you? (this question is optional): Fourteen. Though, please, almighty Tessa, do everyone a favor and don't judge by age. D:
You've been a member for how long: Since March 09. Not very long, but I know enough about the site and how it works, etc., I think.
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: I almost always come on at least once a day, unless I really can't get to my computer.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yes, I do.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: I think so.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: Well, I'd like to see the rate of kind, generous, literate players go up, and the rate of flaming "trolls" go down. I also believe that I'm qualified to help with this project because I have a good amount of knowledge about Chickensmoothie as a whole, and can be patient and friendly with anyone who has a question.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Unfortunately, no. CS is the only forum I go on! ^^;;
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: I'm not that creative. xD But... The Help Squad! Hehe... Fail. xD

[kitten;]

How old are you? (this question is optional): I'm in my teens somewhere.....though not over 16.
You've been a member for how long:Since April 15th, 2009. So not for a full year yet.
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: One hour on weekdays-two hours on weekends. (I have Windows 7, and there's those blasted Parental Controls. XD)
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yes! I have found out very many things here just on my own and I would love to help!
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Sure! After all, if you don't ask a question, you stay ignorant forever- and we don't want that, now do we?
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:I usually help people, if it's on the "Is this a fair Trade?" Thread, or I help my friends out. This would give me some meaning to CS, I usually just mindlessely go around the boards and look for stuff. (That's the sign of a CS addict xD) And i really do love going online to help. I don't get why people just don't care about newbies, everyone was a newbie once before, either in July 08 or April 09. My family ask me in person a lot about CS and I have helped them frequently. I don't really care about colored names, I wold just be very pleased to help newbies out. And I wouldn't call this a Mod, but just a band of friendly CS users who love to help like me.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Nope. I have helped over various sites as what you might call a mini-mod, but I have never been an offical mod. I really haven't gone on any other websites, and if I do, I'm just a member who helps out. XD
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: I got nothing. xD Though, you could call Newbie-Helpers NBs to shorten the name a litle bit. XD And it would so awesome if their names were in orange! I love oranges! (Well, and the color orange! XD)

You've been a member for how long: almost a year.. 10/11 months. Oh Tess, please dont judge by age X)

How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: from 4:00pm until atleast 7:00pm and on weekends, nearly all day XDThis place is my LIFE!

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yes. I have helped many people and have said that I was great help and wasnt too bossy

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Yes, Unless it is he same person..I Love helping no matter what

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I have always wanted to help out. I dont really care about the customs. I really love to help and Im reguarly on the help board. I love introducing new members to the site and helping them with trades. I feel newbies should not be treated he way ,some, people are treating them. I always have the urge to help out and normally always carry a smile. I have helped many people over pm and wanst fussed when my inbox was spammed with people saying 'help'. I dont really mind if im not treated 'specially' or if my name is a different colour. I just like to help. I understand that whe your new you dont know much and 'some' people can be harsh. I think we shoudl help friendship take over, I have recently noticed a few more problems cropping up. Not that there have ever been that many.. I'd also like to say what a wonderful website cs is, And no I did not say that to boost my chances.. I have a large family and sort out many, or thousands, of arguments between my sister and cousin. My cousin ,scarlett, is 2 years old and I have already taught her many facts about life and she can add numbers up to 10, count to 21 and recongise colours. So, you see, I help out everywhere ^^ And enjoy it to!
EDIT: more.. sorry there is just so much for me to say!
I love meeting new people and have learned a lot here at CS. I'd love to help those who dont. I rarely loose my temper and I can exlain what BB code, HTML code, what trades are, how to adopt, when the pound opens (basically anything) to others. I come here so often I think I'd manage to answer a lot. Meeting new friends is just so fun, and could make someones day. Like I hope this form has for you ^^

Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Yes, all of dogstars forums. And a few others that I cant remember. I was a good moderator. I will scamper off and collect links.

Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: hmmm Nothing comes to me.. I'll have a think.
'The helpers' Nah..
'Helping hands' so-so
'Ughh I cant think, brain is to clogged'

Other: Ugh Im going to the Introduction board for a few mins, then Im to bed. I believe I should follow the path of a helper not an artist.

I will edit later, Hope im chosen! OMG I have always wanted to help someone XD, sorry, Im quite random at times.

-eevee

[Meadow]

Omg. I've always wanted to do this! C: When I saw this I was so pumped! But... I haven't been on for six months yet. ;--; I Do you think I could apply any way? :C I will post a form, and you can just choose to over look it if you think I am too new. I spend a lot of time on the site though.

How old are you? (this question is optional): I'm sort of young. :c My parents say I act older. (When I'm not with my friends. XDD) I'm in my teens.
You've been a member for how long: 5 months. (I explained above about the not quite being old enough. I hope you consider anyway.)
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: Wayyy to much! C: Around 4 hours a day; from 3-6 and usually 9-9:30. I live in the eastern time zone. (Maybe more. This is almost the only site I go on) On weekends, more. DX (Secretly, I think I'm addicted!)
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yes. I've done my research, and definetly feel in the answering questions stage, rather than the asking questions stage. ^^;;
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: I do think so. I must admit I've been sort of annoyed in the past (I've never used bad language or caps abuse though), but I was dealing with a lot in RL. I have a much better temperament now, I can assure you. Many of my friends (That I've met here!) have said that I've grown up a lot since I got here. C: Oh! And there's no such thing as stupid questions! :D
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: It's always what I would do if I ever got a staff job. Helping people. Ahh <33 My mum works in social works, and I want to too someday. Helping people equals happyness. Always. C: Also, I'd love to see newbs getting attention instead of being ignored or getting the label "n00b," which they do not deserve! I'd like to help this website in anyway I can. C: I wish someone had been there to help me and be my friend when I started here. That's why this is such a good idea. I would love to be part of stopping the flaming, and making our Chicken Smoothie community better. This site means a lot to me and others. So it would be nice if the newbies could enjoy it too! x] Wow... just it's that I would never be sad again because it would make me happy to help every single day. Like I'm actually worth something.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Alas. I have not. And it makes me sad that people that do not have expireince do not get chosen. But, how can I get expirience if no one ever chooses me, because of lack of expirience? (Sorry if I confused you! ^^)
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: I'm not too creative for that sort of thing, but... maybe something like the Question-mods or the Newbie team? XDD I know, it sucks. How an acronym of some sort? :P
I really hope I get chosen. <33 It's pretty much my non-real-life dream job. C: I swear I am shaking right now. I'm so nervous I will get over looked or not chosen! XD That's all. Sorry for editing it so many times. My computer is being screwy today. Thank you for listening. <33

[anonymouse]

How old are you? (this question is optional): Um, that's private, thank you. ^^
You've been a member for how long: Oct. 2008! ^^
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: Every day, every week. Unless of course, I'm busy. xD But as much time as I can spare. (1-2 hours roughly...)
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yes I do. I feel I've been warned before and such, I learn all I can.

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I can't stand people who yell at those who are new, without even trying to say it nicely. I can't be perfect all the time, yet I can be kind and careful in my words.
Plus, Newbies must be sooooo confused of those not careful enough to guard their tongue. They might even quit because they are so frusterated, and I want to help that.
And who wouldn't give for the chance to help out the beloved site? You do so much for us Tess, Nick, Mods, etc and it's a nice idea for us to help. I know I'd love to be a Mod, but this might just be another step towards Mod-isum. And, of course, I <3 you Tess... :3
