General Helpers: (APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED)

[{lava]

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply) July 19, 2011

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply) 2408 and counting

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

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? 5-10 hours, but I go back to school shortly, so it will go down to about 4-5 hours on weekdays, and knowing me, about 10 hours on weekends.

5.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 can speak English and Spanish, and I know a lot around CS. I am the main photo editor for yearbook at my school, so I am great on tight schedules and take responsibility very seriously. I also know and have memorized ALL of the rules throught CS. Even though I am only more than a year old here, I know a bunch of stories from 'back in the day' here on CS. Like the story of the girl who never died. I also post often and I try my best to help when people are in need of it. Of course I'm not going to go crazy and start posting a bunch in the help forums to help people. I'm going to be myself. What you see is what you get. I'm not going to change my entire personality for the few weeks of your deciding. This is me. I help occaisonally, but of course having the job as a General Helper I would state and know my responsibility and do what needs to be done.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? I spend so much time on CS that I want to do something more on here. All I do is sit here and wait for people to post on a Loki Army page, and that's every few hours, so I'm wasting my day away. I think it would be neat to do something more on here. I have nothing else to do, so I guess I can give you my CS history here.

So, my cousin got me to join CS. When I came here I wasn't sure of the rules, so I'm not going to lie, I broke some rules. But I learned my way through them and now I know them like I know how to walk. I got my friend, ~greenday~ to join, and she loves it. I was really close to quitting a few months ago, because everything got so monotonous. But I finally worked up the spirit to try some new things on here. I am shy out here in RL (real life), but here everybody is just too kind here on CS, that I can just be myself. A lot of people are like my family. I have to say my attitude on here has changed a lot since I first came here, and I am just closer to people now. I have to say I am very thankful for this website and every member on here. Without this I would be in my shy shell in my room doing nothing with my life. I ahve made so many friends on here and even though I don't know them personally, they are better friends then my friends out of CS. I'm really very greatful for everybody here and I don't know how I could thank you enough.

Thank you so much for this opportunity. It is literally a dream come true.

1. What date did you register as a CS member?: (if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
October 28th 2008, though it changed to October 27th 2008 about a year or so ago.

2. How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): (if it's less than 300, do not apply)

5. 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?
I'm very patient and flexible. I also like to solve other's problems and keep the peace. Usually when I get unfair trades I'll explain why it was unfair to my partner, so they'll know better next time. I have a link to the Rares List in my Trade Rules too, so whoever trades with me can use it as a reference.

5.Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum? Do you know how all the tools/options in the oekaki work?)
I try to answer to the best of my knowledge whenever I can. I have used most of the Oekaki tools/options, so I have general know-how.

6. Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I would like to help to make users happy and aliviate distress, as well as answering questions. I want to be useful to the site because I love CS and I think everyone else should enjoy it without having any trouble

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
I have made 2,186 posts (Not a ton, but I'm mostly a private message gal) unless someone needs asap help.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I visit on a normal week every day, unless a family emergency or other important or urgent item arises.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Normally, I will log on for a brief moment (30 minutes to an hour depending on activities scheduled) in the morning checking private messages, any introduction threads that have been responded to or any questions that have been asked. During the day I log on, and this is again with no family emergencies or urgencies that must be attended to first normally 2-3 hours. Usually never anything less than 2 hours but again I do occasionally cut that time short if I have other things scheduled. As for the evening and night hours, it can be anything from 30 minutes to 10 hours. Depending on when I've had enough and must hit the hay

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position
Well, I've always been active in the "Introductions" part of the forum welcoming new members etc. lately I haven't been as active in that forum although, mostly because I've been receiving so many private messages from new members asking about the adoption system etc. so I'm very glad that they were not nervous to ask me. Along with answering many new member questions already, I do love to browse the HTML help and CS Help/Suggestion forums to help out with any immediate question that I personally can answer. I do have a knowledge of HTML and php along with many graphic programs for all those artists out there
__
As for considering myself a trade expert, I would have to say definitely with dogs. Everything else (rats, spiders, cats) I shrivel just a bit and occasionally get stuck asking those types of trades on the "Is This a Fair Trade Thread"
_
Very good with Oekaki, however I currently have not participated with oekaki for quite sometime. I've created little nonsense drawings but have not released them so all in all with Oekaki I can give tips and pointers along with instructions on what each tool does but as for actually showing, my horrific art skills won't bring much gratitude.
__
I am fluent in Spanish, been taking it ever since I was in HS and since I've gotten out I am a little rusty but I can hold a conversation. (Not all grammar may be correct but it's understandable.)
__
I personally consider myself a navigation expert as-well. Even over the years as CS has changed I still know it like the back of my hand, so any member that as questions of where everything is located, I am here.
__
Very easy going. I consider myself a very easy going person with alot of patience. I can sit hours with the same person asking the simplest of questions and it really doesn't bother me, we were all there at some point

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Personally, I enjoy helping any member. I love the gratitude in their messages after we've solved a problem or have just helped them through a trade. I have been joined for many years and it's been an honor to see how much the site has grown! It's just amazing to see 4 years ago to now! But along with being joined many years to get to know many members old and new, and it's been great to catch up or just chat with a new member. I am very friendly and don't mind spending hours talking to new (and old) members about the simplest tasks that can be hard to understand at first. I enjoy browsing the forums, looking for anyone that may be in need of help or has just had a bum day and wanted to talk about it with someone. I've had those down days myself and it can be great when someone cares, which even if I don't even know you or you live half way around the globe I still feel sympathy whether or not I know you. Along with someone who cares, I've also after our questions are answered from many members received a message saying that I was very easy to talk to which, is understandable considering I'm such a chatterbox. (In any case, it's a good thing unless we're at a funeral ) I do have a large, comical sense of humor which can be great to cheer anyones day, although I do know when to cut the crap and be sincere about something. To round off my application I would just like to say I think I would be a fantastic General Helper because I adore, and find joy from helping members who don't know what to do, where to start, or where to go. I have plenty experience with Chicken Smoothie and I would love to be apart of the team in helping anyone who needs me to take them under my wing.
Thank you for reading, and please consider this is such an amazing opportunity and dream come true,
Wolfie

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? When I first joined the site I didn't really speak to anyone because I dont even remember there being forum when I first joined.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
All seven quite normally.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
It depends on the day. During the weekday in the summer, five to six per day. During the weekend under the same conditions, three to four. During the school year, three to four on the weekday, and four to five on the weekend. I spend most of that time browsing about, looking for questions, trades or roleplays to join.
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?)

To start with, I can speak French and English, as I am taking French and live extremely close to a French speaking country. I've had experience with peer mediation as well, and have served as the school vice president, so I know how to handle confrontations and disagreements between two people, and/or groups. I'm quite knowledgeable with my rarities, and I enjoy answering rarity questions for those who need the help. I do answer a few questions on the forum, and normally browse the general and suggestions forums for unanswered questions, or questions that require help, as it's a learning experience for the question asker, and an opportunity for me to help others out when needed. As for Oekaki, I do know what the buttons do, and how to use them, as I use the program often, though I'm not very skilled at computer drawing. Another skill I have is my ability to stay rather calm, and not get frazzled or rude while working to sort something out. It's all about staying calm while helping both parties understand the complete focus of the issue, or in explaining the answer in detail with both words and images if needed by using the prt sc button to screen capture.

I also run an adoptable shop, so I have a knack for helping others understand and comprehend the rules, as questions do, and will, be asked. I love answering questions, and will continue to do so no matter what to the best of my abilities.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

There are several reasons why I'd like, no love, to be a general helper. It isn't because of the colored name, or any other reason. It's simply for my love of helping others out when they need, or request it. I find the honor of helping another member out as inspiring, and I remember the feeling when I first helped someone out in the 'Is This a Fair Trade Thread' by giving them advice. That's inspired me to to continue helping to the best of my abilities.

Another reason is that I'd like to contribute to the site in the best way possible. There are other ways, of course, but the position of General Helper better fits my abilities, and personality.

CS has been a great site, and I'd love to give back to the site. Volunteering this way, I believe, would be a wonderful way to. Thank you for the opportunity, and I hope you have a wonderful day~

Well i can speak Norwegian and english, and im usually very tolerant no matter how stubborn the user may be. I consider that i'm pretty good at trading values. I also know how most of the oekaki tools work, though i may get stuck sometimes due to me not using it so often.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper? When i firsted Joined Chicken Smoothie i had no idea how anything worked, the site was pretty confusing and it took me a long time to figure stuff out.

Thank you for this amazing opportunity.
