What date did you register as a CS member?: Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:26 pm

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 3,580

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every. Single. Day. xD I'm addicted! ^^'

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 4-15 hours (I have no life xD)

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I'm considered a very friendly person, and I have a ton of patience. I tend to help other people if they do not know how to use layers or how to make the bg transparent. When the Jellybean Dragon fanclub began falling apart because of the spam, I offered solutions, 'calmed' everyone down, and did all I could to help everyone. If I get a question and I don't know how to answer it, I will not ignore it. I will take the time to find the answer and report back with a clear reply. I know what's right and wrong when I see it. I have organizational skills and I am very responsible. I also get my art shop orders in on time. I don't feak out under pressure. I am also very polite and always remember my manners. :P

I think my strongest point, though, is that I treat the younger players with just as much respect and dignity as the older. I will not use 'simpler terms' with them unless they still do not understand after the third or fourth try. I do not think that COPPA'd players deserve less respect than the older. I will happily answer anyone's question in the same terms, young or old. :)

I also know the basics of French. :)

You would not be disappointed if I am chosen! I would work my butt off answering questions and helping people!

Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well, I love helping people and I would love to put my talents into something I love doing and what I do often; going on CS! I want to be one of the people someone would go to with questions, and I'd have tons of answers. It makes my day when someone trusts me enough to ask me questions. I'm one of those people that will make sure everyone understands what's going on and how to do things, 'cause I feel bad when other people are just trying to get a little info on how to do something and others just brush them off. I also want to be a General Helper because the CS community has done so much for me, and the least I could do was help people with questions on how CS works and whatnot.

Even if I don't become a GH, I will continue helping people by answering their small problems, but I would makes sure not to step on the toes of the offical GHs. :)

1.What date did you register as a CS member?:

Monday Febuary 11th at 10:33 am

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):

Lets see I have made 11,809 plus this one so 11,810 ^.^

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

7 days a week. Thats a promise xD

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?

I Usally spend the whole day on CS xD no but really I do. Schools starting back up so it may go down to about 4 hours a day ^.^

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position

I can speak Spanish, English, and I have google Translate xD (Does that count?) But I know my rarities like the back of my hand.
I have been using the rares list and learning about demand since the day I've gotten here and now I like to help people with it.
Huh... I love to use Oekaki so I know most of the tools and such, also I did roleplays for a long time so I could help out with that also if a memeber needs to ask me a question. I have been a mod on a site the uses PHP boards so I know how to work the system and I'm trying to start up a website like CS because I love it here! Let's see... I have helped many users before learn rarities and help them get around the fourms more often. I'm very social, I think that would help with this postion because no one wants to talk to an unfriendly mod, Im also very friendly xD. Lets see I will be very calm in any situation and very serious in any situation when its needed. I will not go crazy yelling in Caps though because I don't think that a helper needs to do that but explaining slowly what or why they did wrong. I have been a newbie before and I get wht Newbies need to know so I hope I get this chance to work on this wonderful team ^.^

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?

Oh Gezz were should I start...
Well I have always been stalking for an opening like this, I knew I was ready to take on this responsiblity and that I knew the site well enough to help. I know my ways around the fourms and have helped newbies before and I really do enjoy helping anyone here on CS. This is almost like a dream of mine, to become a helper, because I want to help more people and I want to be part of the team. I'm not doing this for "fame" or a custom I'm doing this because I love CS and want to help out.
Thats that I'm going to keep it short and simple but one last thing.
Thank you to all the staff here on CS you have made CS a better place and make everyone feel comforatable.
Thanks hope you consider,
Narwhals
so many good forms xD

  • General Helper Application - TheBigBlack or TBB

  • What date did you register as a CS member? I registered on Monday, July 5th, 2010. Just over two years ago, so I know CS fairly well.
  • How many posts have you made in the forum? We have made 3,867 posts at the time of application - that number is approximately 2,000 for myself and 1,800 for Maple, as she moved into my account.
  • How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I visit CS almost every day with the exception of being on vacation, or if there is a lot going on in real life.
  • How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I spend anywhere from one hour to five or six hours depending on the day, what's happening in real life, etc. That does not include the time when Maple is on, so in total we are on for about 12 hours a day as an account.
  • Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I know a lot about CS, as I have been playing for almost two years, I am fairly active although I haven't been doing much trading recently, and I know a lot about pet rarities. I have had quite a few different equine adoptables over the years, and so I am used to answering questions, doing things on CS on a regular basis, helping people around my threads, and things such as that. I have never had a specific problem with a user or had any sort of warning or speaking to from a moderator, helper, or admin about drama. I can speak french fluently, and I will also be taking spanish this year for school so I will soon be able to speak a bit of spanish as well. I frequently work with smaller children such as you would find on CS in real life, as I occasionally go to the barn I ride at for the day and help with the ponies, horsemanship lessons, and that sort of thing. As well, I know a lot about how to use the Oekaki (I don't use it much, but I know how to use it as I do a lot of art off of CS), the forum, adopting pets, etc.
  • Why do you want to be a General Helper? I would like to be a general helper because although making my own adoptables and helping there is fun, I would really love to get more involved with the CS community and be able to help more people than come around to my little threads and such. I also feel like because I have experience talking to people and helping people on CS, that I could be doing more with what I know, and so I should at least make a good effort to become a General Helper :)

We used to be TBB + Maple!

General Helper Application

What date did you register as a CS member?:
November 18, 2011 4:59pm, but I had an account in 2008, But I forgot the Email, username, and password, so thats no use :3
I would make a great general helper!

How many posts have you made in the forum?:
Over 600, Thats all I know ^^ I havent made loads, Probobly beacuse I dont RP. I normally look at the forms and bookmark them but then I forget to go back to them, or faultly bookmark them.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Full week, I go on every day and am on as much as I can- I just love CS! But of course everyone needs a Vacation or Holiday!

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
As much as I can! I spend 2/5 of my time online and CS is what I normally go on, Or I have a tab open with CS on it, and I have it as my homepage! I cant stop "Chicken Smoothing", its a great site to go on! I Try to go on as much as I can, but of course I need excercise and I have school, AND 4 - 7 pages of homework a week, of course my little darling Max the dog needs attention and walking, so I would say at least over 3, thats for sure.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
Umm, I am learning french, and I know alot about the site like pet raritys, about the fourms, about the whole site, really ^^ And also I welcome newbies and introduce them to the site, and how to use it. I normally look at the board "Suggestions and problems and try to help out. But normally, They have already been answered and are over and done with. And I will add more later :3

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Here we go! I love to help others, and also Its fun, not only do we get to know the other staff better, We can also meet other members of the site! I love helping others with stuff, and I recently warned another user with somthing I put in my siggy, and A mod PM'd me and I did apoligise, of course :3 Anyways. I warned them, but they chose not to listen! At least I tried, and I know I have helped. I often post on the "Is it a fair trade? Thread" And post, also posting to help others. I am sure I will do good for the site, Tess. I am trustable. Of course, you can pick whoever you want :3

Tess, please note I am going on holiday for 10 days from the 15th of August, And I will try to be online, by using my phone or my mums iPhone. Just to let you know If you pick me, I will not be on as much as usual ^^

What date did you register as a CS member?:
November 15th, 2008

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
2164

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

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Around 4-7 hours on weekends/breaks and 2 hours on weekdays. If I am not on the computer, I am usually on my phone, and I did not include that in my hours.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
I know how to use the Oekaki and how the tools work and some tips and tricks, I am quite good at trade value, knowing my dates, which pets are worth more from popularity, and normal rarities. I know some Spanish, and I can remain calm and collected when being yelled at, as could possibly happen (I'm not sure) or trying to mediate an argument/fight. Also, I have good grammar and spelling, and you can understand what I write. I avoid chatspeak.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I would like to be a General Helper because I love helping people, and I love CS. I have been a member since 2008, as stated above, and even though I do not have that many posts, I know a lot about the site, and about it's rules. I do not get angry easily at people who yell at me for no reason, and I like that about a Helper or Moderator, because it is not uncommon to see the "Mods" of threads, especially in the Oekaki, lose their temper and use caps and give out harsh punishments just because someone asked a question that had already been answered! I can't give out punishments, of course, but still- I will not be like that and be rude or get fed up of people asking obvious questions, ones that make no sense, or otherwise. I have helped out newbies before and find it quite fun, and I just like to see them happy once they get the hang of things and are able to start figuring things out for themselves. I helped I around 3 friends join, gave them some starter pets, and although they are not active anymore, I loved helping them. I also like to gift-bomb newbies, and give them some tips. I wish someone had been there to help me, I made many bad trading mistakes that I have regretted and don't want that to happen to anyone else. I think that being a General Helper would provide good experience for me, also, and make me able to handle real-life problems even better. I have always wanted to be a Helper (or Moderator, or any member of the staff, really) and when I saw that this was open, I leaped at the chance.

      Flie's Application
      What date did you register as a CS member?
        - I registered on April 7th, 2011. Actually, I had an account way before then but I deleted it. That was years ago, though.
      How many posts have you made in the forum?
        - I have made 3060 posts in the forum and the numbers will most likely increase by the time you see this application.
      How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
        - Everyday possible. I am always checking Chicken Smoothie whenever I go on my laptop. Once school starts, on August 27, I may not be on as much as I am now. I will try to go on at least 5 out of 7 days a week.
      How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
        - If I'm not bored, I usually spend most of my day on Chicken Smoothie. I mainly wait for replies on the forums and in PMs.
      Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
        - Well, since I have been on CS for a while and I am on it almost everyday, I will be able to help others with any questions they have. I know all of the rules and everything needed to make a good forum or trade. I can also help others with coding, grammar, and spelling as well as creativity.
      Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert?
        - I guess you could say so. I barely accept trades myself since I do not want to give up my pets, but, I am always helping my friend, Madicekit, with trades.
      Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum?
        - If I come across a question or problem I know I can solve, then I answer them.
      Do you know how all the tools/options in the oekaki work?
        - Yes, though I am not a perfect artist, I do know how to use every tool to it's fullest.
      Why do you want to be a General Helper?
        - I want to help others with any problems that they need. I know that CS can be difficult at first and that Oekaki can frustrate you. I know this because of experience. I want to help others so that CS isn't difficult to them and that they enjoy it instead of giving up on it.

~What date did you register as a CS member?:~
Thu Sep 03, 2009 5:14 pm

~How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):~
20512 posts

~How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:~
Everyday, every week

~How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:~
10-12 hours, maybe slightly less or slightly more

~Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:~
Well, I have been on CS for years and I know everywhere on the forum and oekaki. I really like to help people and I answer PMs as soon as I get them. I don't mind explaining things to people a number of times. I have helped people find their way for a long time, I get PMs like that. I greet new members happily and even some older members. I know that i can bring even more happiness to the boards and I can help CS run even more smoothly.

~Why do you want to be a General Helper?:~
I really love to help people. It is a nice thing and it's fun. I enjoy to help people because I get the joy of seeing them find their way and to know that I helped someone, it means something, every little bit counts. In real life I help people a lot and I am sure on CS it would be much easier. I know how the oekaki works, in fact, i make drawings almost everyday! I know each and every tool and what happens when you use it. I know how to change font styles, colours and sizes as well as placing images in profiles/signatures and in the forum. I know my way around the site. Even on the events, like Halloween, I have told a few members on how to collect the pets and items and exchange the treats. I know how to trade properly and change trade settings. I know how to edit your account, username, password and other edits. I pretty much know almost everything about the website, I have picked it up over the years and i would be very happy to share the knowledge on to new members that have questions.
