General Helpers: (APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED)

[mawsoleum]

What date did you register as a CS member?: August 28, 2008.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): At the current time, 4027.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Usually every day, but of course since things can change I may miss a day a week. If I am gone, it will most likely be days like Wednesday.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? At least 3, but usually more. I only say three so you don't expect me to be on 8 hours every single day, although I am on for that long quite often. I am especially active on the Weekends, I basically wake up to CS and spend the most of my day online. On Friday and Saturday night I am extremely active.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: Well, I can dabble in French, but I am not fluent enough to help someone with a complicated problem that speaks French only. (My stepmom is from Canada and has been teaching me French, and I also just finished a 3 week long visit). I can, though, respond in simple sentences and try my hardest to get my answer across. My mother is a therapist, so I have learned a few tips and tricks about how to handle people from her, as well as good ways to calm a heated situation. I have also modded various roleplay sites and the popular chatsite CatsPawIsland. If you need proof for my being an admin on CPI I will be glad to give it to you via pm. I am aware of how to use the forum tools and forum overall.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well, overall I love the ability to help people without being told it's not my job to. I enjoy being able to deal with situations myself, without having to worry about accidentally mini modding or getting in official admin's way. I had a great deal of fun with CPI, so I'm sure I'd have terrific fun modding here. I have a strong sense of determination as well, I'd love to be able to put it to use. I actually enjoy answering questions, odd as that may seem, and I think it would be a great joy to help. And of course, to be a big part of CS would be amazing. I thank you for reading over this and considering me for the job.

APPLICATION;

What date did you register as a CS member?:
Wednesday March 9th, 2009 7:59pm. For some reason it says 2011, but I can assure I have been active since '09; some of my old pets were adopted in that year :3
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
2171 posts. An average of 4.15 per day.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Seven days a week, unless I'm on holiday or seriously ill. The latter has never occurred, and I hope it never will ^^
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
More than I should! ^_^ At least 2-3, 4+ when I am not busy. Usually 4 hours on weekends. I'm obsessed :3
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required):
I speak [almost] fluent German, mediocre Spanish, French, Malay and a bit of Japanese. I consider myself fairly knowledgable with trade rarities, due to the fact that I have asked advice of Hekomi twice [maybe more :3] about various trades, and she's always replied in a patient and helpful manner. I've learned a lot, and have been asked advice on rarities several times, via pm, much to my delight ^^ [I'm afraid they have all got deleted due to inbox space, I'm very sorry ^^;
I am apt at using the Oekaki, knowing all the tools and how to use and combine them to produce a good result. I have explained coding for pictures [size, transparent background, linking, etc.] several times over. I like to think I am unbiased and can remain calm in any situation. I'll also look at a dispute from both sides and if possible, reach a comprises that suits both users.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
I want to give back to this site what it's given me. I want to help others to understand concepts such as pet values, drawing on the Oekaki, sharing, putting your own ideas forward and, finally, working towards your goal. Spotty and Hekomi and Tiikeria have been so kind and helpful to me, and I really want to help others like they have helped me. Thank you ^^.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?I love to help people and I don't mind newbies but I don't think a big colorful form with fancy fonts will do anything no matter what I say.Sometimes people make mistakes or get in fights with people who are misunderstood and I would love to help people so they can both be happy.I want to be a General Helper so I can help people show them around the site and make them feel welcome.Even If I don't get the job for the General Helper I can always help others and I don't need an orange name to do that.
Thank you Tess and the other staff to give us an opportunity for this wonderful job ^_^.

What date did you register as a CS member?:I joined, Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:58 pm

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): I have made 9384 so far

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 days a week, so everyday

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Usually I'm on around 6 hours a day. But this time will change when I start school again. Though during school, I'll still be able to get on around 3 hours everyday of the week. And weekends, 8 hours.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position I do speak french, but not fluently. I've worked in peer mediation in my school, to help autistic kids, and I work with young children almost everyday to help them solve problems and learn. I'm very good with oekaki, and can explain almost how every tool works.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I love to help people. I'm always open to anyone to needs someone to talk to when they are sad, or need help figuring out something. Even if they are a stranger, helping is something I love. I like to answer questions, and I'm a rather social person. I don't mind if that person just needs someone to talk to for no apparent reason, or needs help with a serious problem. I'm also open and there for everyone! I love the feeling when I make someone happy. The feeling of pride, and joy. This is why I want to become a General Helper, to assist all those that are troubled, or just need someone to chat with. I'm there for everyone <3

February, 02, 2011

I am usually on CS for 4-8 hours every day. Even during the school cycle. At least 2 hours every day, but normally it is 4-8 hours.

5. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
I can translate most of the French language. I am also very good at making Chicken Smoothie-Styled avatars and signature. I know a lot about the layers and forms in the Oekaki.
I know most of the Main Rare Lists, by heart; I can identify a fair trade, and help with rarity identification/fairness.

6. Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I would love to become a general helper for many reasons. Chicken Smoothie is my all-time favorite website, seeing the community being helped out in a big way is very rewarding. I want this position, mainly because I want to be someone who is helping Chicken Smoothie in a bigger way, aside from having the note about accepting pms about trade help, I would like to be recognized as a person who is specifically able to do these things.

What date did you register as a CS member?: September 2009
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 4103
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: I'm online everyday
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Usually at least 4-5 unless I have classes
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I am fluent in both English and Spanish, as well as some very basic French. I have experience with the Oekaki, as well as with trading. I am fairly proficient with all areas of Chickensmoothie, and have general computer/tablet/internet knowledge. I post in the forums fairly often, and have been told that I tend to "observe and absorb" when it comes to learning. I am also the oldest of six children, so have experience working with younger people. I also have experience with "customer" support and FAQs.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I would love to finally be able to contribute to the site a bit more formally than I have in the past. I'm very open to helping newer players and redirecting them when they need more help or further information. My experience with children can definitely be considered an advantage as this is a family site and mainly used by younger players as well. I am always looking to make new relationships, help where I can, and improve my people skills.

2. How many posts have you made in the forum? (at the time of applying): 10,793
3. How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I'm on CS every day.
4. How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? At least 3-4 hours, but usually more.
5. Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I can speak Spanish, not fluently, but enough to understand a lot. I'm also very familiar with the tools in oekaki. I've also helped quite a few friends get set up on the website, so I have practice in that area.
6. Why do you want to be a General Helper? As a member of CS for nearly 3 years, this place has become a second home to me. I was the first out of the people I know to get an account here, so I had to figure the site out on my own. This made it rather hard for me to get into the website and I don't recall being a very active member for a while. I'd love to be able to help the newer members get started on the site so they can enjoy it from the beginning and not be as confused as I was. Also, helping the rest of CS with their problems sounds like a very gratifying experience.

Thanks for taking your time to read this. :3

  I joined CS on Oct 25, 2010.
  
  
• How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
  I've made 6,790 posts and counting.

  I visit CS all seven days of the week. This is my main website I spend time on.

  During summer and the weekends, I spend 3 - 8 hours on Chicken Smoothie. On a school day, I would say maybe 2 1/2 - 4 hours.
  
  
• Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
  I know a lot about Oeakaki and can answer most questions about it. I can speak basic Spanish and am learning more at school. I also speak Arabic pretty fluently (not sure how this will help anything though). I am good with simple trades - not quanity trades - and I can help new players with the basic "what is it" and "how do you play" questions. I usually browse the "CS Suggestions and Problems" forum and answer questions sometimes. I don't answer if the question has already been answered or if I don't know (false advice doesn't help anyone).
  
• Why do you want to be a General Helper?
  I would like to be a General Helper because I like to help people. I try to do it as much as I can, like helping out a new player or someone with a trade. It just makes me feel good. I know a good amount of how stuff works on the site.
