What date did you register as a CS member?:
July 26th 2010 - I've been on here basically every day for over two years now.
How many posts have you made in the forum:
21,806. I post on various different topics a lot.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day; seven days a week.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Generally about four on weekdays, however on the weekends I can spend anywhere between four and ten. Let's just say, weekdays: four and weekends: six.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position
I personally believe that I know the site very well, from the Site Rules to all of the different forums, not to mention the Oekaki, the Trading and anything to do with editing your profile. My writing skills, being outgoing, friendly and easy to talk to would be a few values I own, which would really help the role of a General Helper in my opinion. I speak fluent English, as well as knowing a decent amount of French, however in any other language I don't really know very much.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
The main reason why I would love to be a General Helper is because I'm a helpful, kind person who wants to make sure that all of the new players - as well as those who aren't new - can get the full enjoyment out of Chicken Smoothie by knowing everything they need to know. I'm well-mannered and patient so I have no problems with repeating myself or simplifying anything if players are getting frustrated and can't understand whatever I'm attempting to explain. Basically, I'd just love to help out with any of my fellow Smoothiens' problems with my knowledge of the site and my ability to speak to people with patience and kindness.

Thank you for your consideration and good luck to all of the other applicants. :)

Kind Regards,
Goldie

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position I can't really think of a whole load of skills I can offer, but I know my way around the whole site, including where everything is in the forums, how to edit signatures/avatars and things such as that. I know the basics of how okeaki works. I'm pretty sure I have a grasp on rarities and fair trades. I've been a moderator on an old Petz forum before, a few years ago, however I have forgotten the name of what it was called... I had to help a few of the newer members around there.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I've been looking for an excuse to be more active on the forums. I love talking to people, and making friends online. I think being a helper would be a great way for me to do both of those things. I spend a lot of my time on CS and I'd love to be able to help out more on the site. I'm easy to talk to, and I have a lot of patience. I've actually had a few newbies message me for help already and I had no problem in helping them out. Helping people out online is something that I really enjoy doing as it gives satisfaction that I have been of use to someone.

I very frequently visit the Suggestions And Problems forum but I've always been beaten to the question so it feels like spam if I'm about to re-post the same thing.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

Nearly everyday, excluding holidays, vacations, etc.

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

I often keep a tab of CS open while I'm multi-tasking on the computer, so I would believe around 6+ hours on weekdays, and around 10+ hours on weekends.

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

For starters, I speak fluent Thai, as Thai is my first language, though I don't believe there are many Thai-speaking users on CS, so it wouldn't be an exceptional language to use on the message boards, haha. Another skill I would like to point out is my tolerance with chat speak; I know most of users on cs dislike chat speak to a certain extent, but chat speak isn't nuisance to me, and I can read most chat speak easily [knowing that I use it quite often myself within chats.] So when users 'typ3z li3k dis' I'll still respond to them in a mannerly fashion. I'm also quite familiar with the BBC coding on the forums, and one of my favorite things to do is play around with the forum's coding capabilities.
I would like to say I have a personality that would be easy to relate to, I know what it feels like to be a newbie and have this 'lost' feeling when being around a new site, and when someone expresses that lost feeling, a little help can go a long way.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

Well, so many users on cs would love to have a colored names, for the fame, being set out from other users, or just being helpful. So I what I say here wouldn't vary much from the users before me.
I have always seen general helpers around the forum and various threads just offering help, but general helpers to me are really amazing, they have always helped me when I first joined the community, being a GH to me would be like giving back to the community, because on CS, I have been so confused so many times, and just with a quick pm, so many of my questions were solved. GHs felt a bit more 'personal' than being directed to the FAQ, or using the search engine, knowing they always did their job to the best of their ability, and I just want to do the same. To help CS users along with other GHs to keep the community up and running.

What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply) I joined in December of 2009
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) I believe it is 2,928
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day, unless I am on vacation (I don't go on many vacations though)
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Usually at least 4, more in summer, and maybe 3 during the school year but I am on quite a lot.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation? Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert? Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum? Do you know how all the tools/options in the oekaki work?) Well, I can speak some German, and in school I take Peer Mentoring classes. I love helping others! And I believe I know the rarities on CS pretty well. I also know how to navigate the site and have helped newbies before.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well, I love helping people! I always have, and for about a year or so, I have wanted to be a helper on ChickenSmoothie, but never caught the opening spots. Now that I have, I am very excited. I think I could be a great help to the members on ChickenSmoothie, and train (for lack of a better word) newer members with fair trading, rarities, and much more like Oekaki, Settings and just about everything. Right now, I also have a Minor Dreamie Center going on to help people achieve the minor pets that they like! Well, thanks for taking the time to read over my entry! I hope I am chosen, but if not: I gave it my all and that's what counts(:

1.What date did you register as a CS member?:
i remember it like it was yesterday; july 02, 2010, ten days before my birthday- july 12.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
10,702.

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
every day. even if i visit school, which actually starts on september fourth, i spend almost all my day on CS.

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
almost all day, unless i stop for something serious, like yesterday we had a problem out at my uncle's farm. he drove over his dog my accident, and he hit a horse while driving to where we live. i almost LIVE on CS, really, i'm on almost 24/7

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
i know what every single option in the oekaki does, and how it works, and i can speak fluent french- currently learning spanish. i have had 2 warnings, to be completely honest, but they weren't that huge- And I have talked to moderators, and they have been cleared. i am now warning free. i am very positive with things, and can handle heated discussions quite well. i don't get angry easily, i am being completely honest here. i've questioned several people, and almost 97% of them say i am the nicest person they have EVER met. :3 thank you.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?
helping people really makes me feel good. my family says i am very kind, and i usually put others before myself. i am definitely not a follower, i'm more of a leader, really. i've learned how to have a positive attitude, think of the bright side, and all that from my sister. she taught me how to do MANY things, which brings me to this position here. i have to thank her for teaching me of how to keep calm in a discussion, how to keep my cool and such. she's really helpful aswell, though, back to me. :3 i suppose i am very helpful, and i laugh things off that weren't meant to happen, but i am also very serious. i can be funny, but i usually am very serious with things. i love, love, love, love, LOVE to help people. it's what i do. i have very good mannes apparently, aswell.
thank you so much for even considering me. there are probably thousands of other people that are going to apply, and i'm not much different, but thank you so, so, so, so, SO much for even thinking about hiring me. it'd be an honor to be on the staff.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

I'm typically on CS every day of the week.

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

Around 10-13 hours a day on weekends, 5-6 hours on days I have school. I'm not necessarily being active and posting for all those hours, but CS is always open when I'm on my laptop and I'm constantly checking the forums and my PMs.

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

I can speak both English and Spanish, and a bit of French. Also fluent in chat-speak. (Ha.)

I have a good knowledge of BBCode, computers, and the tools of Oekaki. Though I haven't been a member of CS as long as some have, I am very knowledgeable of the website, how everything works, Events, etc. I'm generally good with rarities and check for rarity changes and read-up on the rares list often.

I can provide quick answers to problems and questions in a calm and friendly way. I'm very patient and I do not get frustrated easily.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
There's many reasons why I'd like to be a General Helper.
-For one, I enjoy helping others. Answering questions and helping the members of CS with their problems has always been something I've liked to do. Although I haven't answered many questions in the problems/suggestions board, I have been PM'd with questions on several occasions and was able to help.
-I'd like to help CS in some way. Seeing as CS is one of my favorite websites, It'd be nice to give back.
-In all honestly, I have not been as active on CS as I could have been the past few months. I see this General Helper position as a way to become more active again as well.

Also, I've had one warning in the past for putting a character made with one of TWG90's lines on a character sale thread.
That was quite some time ago and an honest mistake, so I don't believe that will hurt my chances of being considered?

Thank you for your consideration.

How many days a week do you usually visit cs?:

everyday c: every week. Unless vacation(not very often at all c:)

How many hours per day do you usually spend on cs?:

oh golly .___. Id say around 8+ a day sometimes many more! Im on at random times up at night to early morning to the middle of the afternoon! Im on this poor site like a fly xD

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:

yes! Well ^^ im very kind, and love helping new people who have trouble on the site and with trades, FTT, where a thread goes and such!
Ive traded for a very long time and in the past made mistakes with rarities and fairness...until i got the hang of things you could say! But I think making mistakes means you learn from them and they make you better and more wise.
I go on the FTT made by hekomi alot and help everyone with their trades trying to figure out if its fair or not and if im unsure I ask a few knowlagable members on their input so I dont give out inaccurate information.
Ive been able to trade up very well and down sometimes if the person really wanted the pet(im a sucker for people who have sentimental attatchments to certain pets xD)
I understand the basic principles of the sigi but....errrg sometimes! Haha. I try to help whenever possible when I see someone needs it and I try to answer all questions im asked! As for trade- value ive
Ive held auctions, and an art compettition so I could help out anyone with questions on those! I love to RP and have 7 sucsessful ones going right now!
I understand litterate and semi-litterate RP's. I also visit general chat ocassionally and talk to people who love anime. But oekaki...I can draw on it. When I have a laptop. I understand lock alpha and layers but not blending and such as I usually cant actually use oekaki very ofyen so I havent been able to figure things out by myself..I am a softy for new members and feel terrible when I see on the FTT if someone is uber ripping them off D: and they are always so nice and happy when I help them out! Im a very social person and love chatting and getting random PMs! Ive actually gotten a few PMs a few months ago and people wanted help with trades--which of course I obliged myself to help^^ so random PMs are always welcomed by me!
Since im on very very often I can always reply as soon as im aware i have a new message! In rl alot of my friends often have problems and consult me for my input on it and I always do my best to comfort and resolve the problem sensibly with no violence, cursing, yelling, or hurt feelings.
A few days ago I saw a 'vent art' and PMed the person what was wrong and they told me(im leaving it confidential haha) what was wrong and actually it was very simmilar to something id had to deal with once in my life and gave them as much advice as I could! In the end they said id helped them alot-- it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside that id made a differance in someones life. Not just online but offline as well ^^. Im a very sensative person but have learned to control myself when needed. Im very...neutral on everything. Religon, orientation, life style choices -- i am never ever one to judge! Im not very shy and am open to help anyone whom needs it c:

why do you want to be a general helper?:

well. Its actually been a cs dream of mine to become a member that others new or old can turn to to help when they need it. I love helping all and wish I were more known so people could know that im there to help!<3 and recently ive found myself completely bored. Besides trading I have nothing to do. Its hard to just be that random user who tries to help xD If i somehow got this job as a general helper id help anyone and everyone who looked for help! Id help with trades, art questions, be a critic when needed, give my imput on a trade, be there to help solve problems, and just be there for any random question to be whirled at me! Im more than willing to take on the task! Im very friendly and deal with bad attitudes often so im prepared to deal with any and all kinds of people! No matter what I promise that I will always give all ive got to help everyone and earn the name'general helper'.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)
8904.. So this will be my 8905th post.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS
Every day.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Depends if there's an event going on, or if I have any new PMs, or if there are new posts made in threads I like to stalk.. It can vary and it can go from one hour to.. multiple hours, to the point where you could say I might not have a real life. I alt-tab between different sites. C:

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position
I'd like to think of myself as someone who can type proper English. xD Also, my first language is Dutch, and I am learning French and had German lessons for 3 years, so I can understand the basics of those languages too. I wish I could say I knew the rarities 100%, but I sadly don't.. I'm still a bit old-fashioned about those, I still think of them like they were a year ago. xD I know how the oekaki works, but I don't go there often. I can help with artprogram-related problems though, I have tried a lot of different programs and I found my way around with them, such as gimp, Photoshop or SAI.
I also know the basics of coding- BBCode, HTML and the very basics of CSS are where I can help with. Although I doubt whether CSS would be needed. xD
I am able to be patient and friendly under most circumstances (Or at least, not letting the rage, if any, spill all over my keyboard where it'll seep into the computer). Also, I'm able to think about random examples, if that's a skill. :D

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I've been around on CS for a while now, and I feel like I should be doing something more useful then browsing the forums only.
So, being a General helper seems like an amazing chance because I can help people and they will send me questions. (Hopefully xD)
I will also be having a more active mailbox yay. I understand I can also help people without being a General helper, but I'm afraid they won't be asking me any questions. :C
Even if it would mean repeating myself over and over, if I'd be able to help someone that way, then I'm fine with it. It'd be awesome to see users "grow" and look at them while thinking, I helped them with the oekaki or rarities. c:

Thank you very much for considering and I apologize if this post was a bit rambly/long.
I hope fou enjoyed reading my application even if I don't get chosen. :)

EDIT - I was being sleepy and accidentally said I joined 18 December 2012.. which is impossible. xD
