1.What date did you register as a CS member?: Sat Jan 31, 2009 6:24 am
2.How many posts have you made in the forum?: 3858
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: I try to get on every day, even if it's just for a bit ^^
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? About 4 hours, if I'm not doing anything at all it can be close to 10 hours
5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I get along well with people (it's almost impossible to get me angry, and if I do get angry I don't take it out on users), I am experienced in oekaki, gimp and Photoshop and running an art shop if users want to know how to run an art shop (I have also posted a gimp tutorial and an oekaki tutorial). I have also been on cs a long time and know the settings to customize your account (folder rules, removing trade PM's....)
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I love CS, I've been here for 4 years and try to give back to the community as much as I can (free adoptions, free art, answering questions) and I generally love it when I can help someone out, even if I have to take screen shots.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
As many as I can, mostly on the weekends. However, school has started, so I won't be on for 6 hours, plus homework. I will try to make as much time as I can for CS, though.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Though most hours I spent on CS is around 12 hours. On Monday-Friday, I am on for at least 1-3 hours, possibly more if I'm lucky.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
Well I only speak English, but I am pretty patient when it comes to stuff like this. I also have time to welcome newbies and help others. I am alos quite familiar with the Oekaki as well.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I think it's a great experience, and my goal is to try and help others. I want people who are new to CS to feel welcomed with open arms, and not feel left out. Because let's face it, nobody likes to be new to a website long. You don't know anything and just lurk in the shadows. You feel left out, like beginning a new school. I want to help people not feel like that.
I also want people to know from right and wrong, and direct others to the help system or staff members. I really want others to become aware that there are rules to follow, and let them know that if they don't understand the riles or have a question, that there's going to be someone to help them, even if not a staff member.
I know I won't get to moderate or anything like that, but I still want to be there when a user needs help, or I can be a friend to someone who needs one. My goal is to make newbies (and older users) feel welcome, and to help other users when needed. I promised myself that one day I would become a moderator on a website so I can help out. I know other users who are far more experienced then me will also probably make it, and I want to wish everyone a good luck.

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: I registered on the 18th of December, 2011.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 2396

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: I visit every day that I can, mostly for more than 5 hours. But this may vary sometimes, seeing as I have a lot of assignments, and I have a few dance rehearsals a week. And plus, my family visits me most saturdays, so, around 6 days probably!

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: As I said, around 5-7, depending on my activities! So yes, this number will vary thanks to dance, family visits and assignments, but I manage 2 hours a day at least. But my dance rehersals are quite long sometimes, some go for 30 minutes, others for 5 hours. ^-^

On weekends and holidays, though, I may be on for like, 10 hours? And that's with me active. I always keep a Chicken Smoothie tab open, so maybe around 12 hours give or take.

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: Well, I can speak phrases and understand Japanese quite well! That's probably, apart from English, the most fluent language I can speak, even though it's difficult. I'm pretty good at date and rarity swaps, and Advent List trading. ^-^ Also, I always go on the introductions forum to welcome people with helpful links, and I also go on the Suggestions and Problems forum and help other with any questions I can answer. I'm good with explaining things around the site too, because when I joined I self-taught myself how to use the site without any help. I'm also pretty good at Oekaki, I know the tools and some good techniques to use too. c:

I also am quite familiar with the site rules, and refresh myself regularly, which I guess might be a good trait? CX And I also don't mind explaining things a billion times over. ^^ I'm pretty patient with people, too, especially if they are confused about something, which might be helpful when helping new players and answetring several repeated questions c:

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I would like to be a general helper because I enjoy helping people around the site, whether the player be old or new, because I don't like people to feel excluded in any way. We all know it's horrible being left alone with no-one to answer your questions or give a helping hand, and I don't want people to feel like that, so this is also another reason why I would like to be a general helper.

Also, I have had a lot of help form other users, and all I had to do was ask, and I really appreciated that. So now, I want to give back to those people who did that for me c: Being a general helper would mean the world to me and my CS life, because helping people is absolutely fun <3

For those who don't know, I opened an adoption center almost a year and a half ago thinking it would be one of the only ways I could help people on CS. I was very wrong. Granted, I've loved being able to help people with pets they've missed, or their dream pet, but I've had loads of people PM me asking for help, or I've helped on any given forum I can, and I realized I loved it! I love being able to help anyone that I can, and I love being able to give the same kind and caring-ness that I was given when I joined CS. The people of CS are so kind and awesome and they deserve 'Staff/Helpers" that are the same way (which everyone who posted is :3) I would be so honored if I was given the chance to make my helping out "official." It's always been a HUGE dream of mine to be able to be a Helper/Mod/etc. on CS, and I would love to help out in any way possible. Thank you, Tess, so much for the opprotunity to perhaps become a bigger part of this huge community of CS. I truly appreciate it <3

Good luck everyone! I can't wait to see who gets it!!

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I visit Chicken Smoothie everyday.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
About four-seven hours on a school day, and about eight or more on a weekend because I am a Chicken Smoothie addict.
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?)
I look at the Suggestions forum whenever I can remember about it, which is quite often and I try and answer them if they haven't been answered already. I am pretty good with rarities, maybe not perfect, but better than some people. I can stay calm most of the time, and I am happy to help others if they are stuck. I can speak a little bit of Japanese and I am very patient. I know how to use the oekaki reasonably well.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I want to be a general helper because I want to help new and old members, after all, we were all new once. I want to make everyone on this website feel welcomed, nothing feels worse than feeling all alone. I want to help take the some of the stress off the staff members, so they don't feel overwhelmed because they have too much to answer.
