[Crippling Rogue]

How old are you? (this question is optional): 17
You've been a member for how long: Uhm... More than 6 months. XD
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: Day: Depends on trade numbers and PM's. I also love to linger on the Is This A Fair Trade board if I have nothing else to do. So, all in all... 20 hours or so. I can always be on for more too, just haven't yet.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: I feel as if I can definitely help out and am more than willing to quickly learn what I need to.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Yeppers! I love helping anyone and will patiently find other ways to describe the same thing differently.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: Because I love helping people and I remember the very king people who helped me and greeted me when I came on. I want to help keep CS a friendly, happy place where people can come to have a good time and understand everything.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Nope, nothing notable.
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: Newducers, Newpers...

How old are you? (this question is optional): 15

You've been a member for how long: around a year now...? :3 lol

How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: I'm usually one for AT LEAST an hour each day. (most of the time more often, but occasionally I have midterms and etc. to study for, so I'm unable to get on.

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: yes, completely!

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: yes, it's nothing new to me. I own three sites of my own, so it's something I know I can deal with calmly. :3

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I feel like I'm slowly loosing my interest in collecting pets, simply because I'm no good at it, so I'd like to do aomething to socialize more and even help out the site.

Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: here we go! These are just the main sites. The one(s) that are inactive now became inactive, so I had no choice but to leave... :'(

How old are you? (this question is optional): 22, will be 23 next month
You've been a member for how long: Since January 2009
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: I'm on almost daily for several hours at a time. The only times I'm not online is when I'm at work all day or have other things that keep me away from the computer.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: I do. I've done quite a bit of trading and I've been here for awhile so I think I've got everything pretty much everything figured out and would be willing to help others figure things out too.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: I work in fast food. I deal with stupid questions and irritating people all the time. I get irritated about it sometimes but I'm never rude to the customers and wouldn't be rude to a newbie who didn't know any better.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I enjoy helping people and I know what it's like to be totally clueless and have people there who would be willing to help you figure things out. I'd like to return the kindness shown to me on other sites by doing the same thing here.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: I've co-admined and been a moderator on a couple sites on Acornrack but sadly none of them are active right now because the admins closed the sites for various reasons D=) so I don't have any links to give you. Sorry.

EDIT: Just remembered I have a sort of active site I'm a co-admin/Moderator type person on. =3
Click Here Just click the guest.enabled link to take a look inside. There's not much going on right now but we're trying to get the site active again and planning events and such. I suppose it works well enough as a reference. xD

Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: Uhm....not really. If I come up with any I'll post them though.

[HonouNoKage]

How old are you? (this question is optional): 13
You've been a member for how long: since August 2009
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: once a day (except on special days, like Christmas), for 6-7 hours.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: heck yeah!
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: yes I do, and I don't think any questions are stupid, you learn that way!
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: because everyone was a newbie once, right? It can be a bit confusing, and I know I made some pretty stupid mistakes when I was a newbie, so I would like to help the newer members out with everything I can. No one really helped me when I was new, so I want to be sure newbies get off to a great start, unlike me!
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: not really, I just helped out some people on howrse .com.
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: not right now.

How old are you? (this question is optional): 12, but I tend to act much older than my age
You've been a member for how long: I had my '1 year anniversary' for CS on the 9th I beleive, so 1 year
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: I'm on after school 4 hours at least usually more, every day unless my laptop is confiscated. during the summer all day unless I'm forced off my computer XD
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: yes I've been on enough to have practically memorized the layout of CS
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: yes. I deal with it every day in real life and I have handled it online before, not so much different ^^
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: i feel that CS could use a bit more love and help. I could use a comparison, when i first joined I went around to explore the forum. my first or second post was on a newbie help thread, i got 2 free pets to start my collection and was very kindly helped around this place, as we all know a new site can be kind of scary if your not sure how to handle yourself, newbs don't need to be flamed into submission they need to have things explained to them in a nice way i really enjoy teaching people about the forums, I can't see how some people can be so cold. yes, this newbie doesn't know how these forms work, or the rarity of this pet. that doesn't mean you should yell at them, and I bet most of you had NO idea about it either when you first joined. I also believe teaching new members is a much better way to cut down on conflict, which I've noticed is mostly between new members who don't know what to do and older members who get miffed easily. I really want CS to be a kind peaceful art-based community, like it was before, and i want to do as much as i can to make it so, and I am doing that now but I feel the more opportunities we give new players the less arguing there will be in the future ^^
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: no, but i feel confident I can handle something like this, especially since it;s really fun to direct people around the forums if they don't know where to go ^_^
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') XD ?: no, but since many people think 'newb' and 'n00b' are the same, I think it could use a different name

Aww dang, one PC crash and I miss getting in on this early =[
Anyway, here's my application

How old are you? (this question is optional): 17
You've been a member for how long: since December 08
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: Get on at least once a day to check growths, posts, and PMS, and occasionally if I don't have much AP homework I'll sketch a quick oekaki drawing.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yep.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Oh yes, I have young siblings, I'm SUPER used to it.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: When I was a n00bie, I got flamed for not knowing the names of certain dogs, not understanding the rarities (they weren't all posted), and nobody ever replied to my forum posts. It made me feel left out. I understand what it's like to be new, and I want everyone to feel like joining CS was the best decision they ever made (or just really happy people here listen to them).
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Wayyy back when I used to run a few Roleplay sites (they have since been removed because of my lack of interest in roleplaying), I was admin or mod of several, but no recent moderator/admin jobs. Sorry
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: The Welcome Wagon, or something related to that. It's basically self-explanatory,but still cute.

Thanks for reading through my application.

I have a question; when will you choose the newbie helpers? (:

probably in about 3 or 4 days if I've had enough applicants to choose from by then

*captain obvious* something tells me Tess will have more than enough applicants by then...
