[Missy]

How old are you?: 13, but several people on these forums have considered me to be older because of maturity

You've been a member for how long: 10 months, give or take
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: Atleast an hour a day, but on average 2-4 hours. More than ocasionally 6-7 hours... Yup, I have no life

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: Yes, I do. I believe I was the first person to make a newbie help thread (in the introductions) early last year. I've been online almost everyday since I joined (except for a few days without internet) and I'm very dedicated to the site. I love pointing people in the right direction, especially if they're a little mislead about fursonas, trades and adopting pets. Newbies often send me PMs asking questions which I feel I can explain/answer to them thouroghly. I also remember how kind people were to me when I first joined, and feel I owe the newer members of the CS communtiy the same treatment.

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Yes, definetly! In alot of situations I've met people who don't read rules of threads/trades/ect, so usually I just correct them politely instead of exploding (which I see people do everyday ^^;). When people PM or post me questions, alot of them are about things like how you feed your pets or when the pound opens; answering them isn't annoying at all, but feels rather rewarding to know I'm helping someone.

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: Firey Gatoh actually PM'd me to ask if I was intrested and I thought about it for a while. I really like directing people and helping out, so I guess this is just a great opportunity for me. I'm not looking for personal gain or a some coloured name either (even though it probably looks pretty @_@). Just a chance to contribute to our community

Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Nope, I'm not a member of many active forums.

Do you have any suggestions for the team name: Er, Newbie sponsers ^^; lol, so creative

hmm, I just realized. We should have some bi/trilingual People on this, she newbies who speak other than English for their first language can feel even more welcome ^-^

I can speak a little german but have a friend that can help. And some french too ^-^ even if I don't become a mod I can help with the newbies like that.

That would be perfect! If new members spoke a different language, they would feel more comfortable with a native speaker as a helper.

exactly my thought, they would feel more comfortable, and maybe instead of sign up and never come on(like a lot of members now a days as I've seen) they would have more of a you could say 'reason to come on.
