I have helped a few other memebers in the part, most of them were new to the site. I do know how all the tools in oekaki work and how to explain them, although I am not good at drawing myself.

I love to help others in every way I can. I have a tone of free time on my hands, and would love to spend some of that time helping others out in anyway I can. I also love Chicken Smoothie and would love to help out some of my fellow Chicken Smoothie members.

I also always look at all sides of arguments and am usually okay at sorting them out.

  I can speak Malay, Chinese, English & I am still learning Japanese & Korean, although most of it is not needed here. I am patient as I used to work with kindergaten kids as my part time job & always give people good advices as I am a good listener & love to help out others in real-life. It won't hurt to apply it here. I know how all the Oekaki tools/options work, but I am just horrible at using it to draw that it seems like I don't. I've answered only some questions in the forum but I have answered many through private messages.
  
  
• Why do you want to be a General Helper?
  
  I want to become a general-helper so that I can help new/old members & to be able to answer questions that they ask but at the same time I have to be honest if I don't know the answer to the question or not. Even if I am not chosen to have a coloured user-name, I would still help other members just like general helpers would & I want to help you (Tess) as I have been here for four years & is experienced. It would be a great experience too.

Hey guys, it's me, Ocean c;

Sat Oct 16, 2010 7:34 pm (I like to put the whole date in detail X3)

2.How many posts have you made in the forum:

3273

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

Every, single, day c;

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

about seven hours ^^

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

Well, I can speak a little portuguise (My family and I are moving there in less than a year), and I have helped a lot of confused, or distressed users who have asked for help, sometimes about trade rarities, and the difference in demand for them, or sometimes they have come asking for help with editing profiles and similar events, and I have have always answered the questions camly, ending the last sentance with a smile c;

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

I feel like you have given me so much by creating CS, having the Oekaki system that brought my drawing and designing skills to life, and the amazing friends I have made during my time as a user, that I want to give something back. It would be an outstanding experience for me, and it would also take some stress of you guys (Tess and Nick ^^). c':

I hope you don't mind that I spread out my form, I just wanted to make sure you could see it clearly, instead of having to squint your eyes to see the words :'3

What date did you register as a CS member?:
28 July, 2009 (Wow, I've been here a while. Never really thought about it before).
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
5750 (and growing every day)
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day, without fail. If I can't get onto a computer, I use my cellphone, or someone else's. I haven't missed a day yet.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? An embarrassing amount. I'd like to say about two or three, because that's normalish, but in reality I spend no less than five hours on CS a day. On average I spend about seven hours with the tab open. On weekends this can grow to nine, and during events I am on almost constantly, except when I'm asleep.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I am a mature, adult member of the CS community. I work with children on the weekends, so I have oodles of experience in that regard, and plenty of patience. I speak Afrikaans and mediocre Zulu, which is more than useless here, but since I live in South Africa, I'm in a different timezone to most people, and can bridge the gap while American users are asleep, to help the people who come online at more unusual times.
I am intimately familiar with CS's trading system, as I have been trading here for three years, and I'd like to think that I know my value. I know the Rares List just about off by heart, and I think that my trades are usually very fair.
I also know a lot about how CS works. I know where all of the rules are (site rules, as well as sub-board rules) and am familiar with them. I don't spam, I don't steal art and I generally abide by the rules.
I am also a competent oekaki artist (see my gallery for proof) if not the best, and I am an avid and active roleplayer, so I am familiar with this aspect of the community. I am a well-known face on various user-made adoptable species, such as the Warriors of Isket (I am a roleplay mod), Jellybean Dragons and Rune Dragons, amongst others. So I get around a bit, although I try not to mini-mod, as that gets annoying very fast. If I want to help people, I prefer to PM them.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I just happen to like people. I understand that there are a variety of age-groups using this site, and I am willing to communicate on any level that I need to. I remember my own experiences as a newer user on this site. I remember kindness and coldness, and I'd like to ensure that future users are met with kindness, but no coldness. I've 'adopted' several younger users, and befriended many of my age and I suspect a bit older. I like to be friends, I like to help, and I'd think of this position as a bit of an extension of what I already do anyway ^^
I love this site. I love the community here, and I want to keep it active and growing. I like people, I'm friendly and usually quite unflappable (although I admit that I'm not above a private little seethe when pushed to far, but never at the cause. Always privately) and I want to help. I like to help anyway. I just want to continue to do so in a more recognisable capacity. I've been stumbled upon by accident, but I'd like to befriend and help more users than simply my 'regulars'.
I want to help. I like to help. The colour of the name means very little to me. I just want to help in a more official capacity.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: Everyday.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Between five to nine hours, possibly more.
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 get a few questions every now and then from other members and redirect them to certain fourms that will help them out. I know how most of oekaki works, yet unfortunately java and my laptop have a long standing feud so I don't get to use it often though I don't think that would influence an inability to help others understand how it works. I would say I work best in the roleplay environment, and love to help people with questions they have regarding that. I'd also be fine helping people coding, and solving problems related to posting fourm topics. I'm not that bad a judge when it comes to fair trading and I'm rather used to the site having been here for this long.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?Back when I was new to this site I was completely clueless as to what I was supposed to be doing, I'd love to help new players relax and understand how the site works. I know it's a little daunting when you've done something and someone's told you it's wrong, and I want to help explain why it's wrong and how to fix it for future times. I want to be someone that people can approach with problems and help solve them. I love Chicken Smoothie, and I'd love to be someone who can help others to love this amazing site as much as I do. Thank you for the opportunity!
