Sun Nov 09, 2008 7:51 am, according to my "Joined" data on my profile.

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

3082 to be exact(until now of course xD).

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

The 7 days of the week, CS is one of the main sites i log into just when I turn on my computer(except when I go on trips, if there's wi-fi available at my hotel, I log in inmediately from my Ipod).

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

Depending on how much time I have available, but mostly about 2-3 hours a day(If I'm kind of busy 2 hours on those kind of days)

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required):

I'm very fluent in spanish since it's my main language ;I also enjoy helping with answering questions around the forum, it's both nice and fun to help people. I'm not too good at trade-values though, I kind of get confused with rarity and those kinds of things(I know the basics though); I'm not too much of an artist either...

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

When I joined back in '08 , I had a friend who took care of me here and helped me along in the game, I just want to do the same thing, make users have a great time here;help new users around and answer their questions. I just like helping around very much , it's one of the main things I like to do. I'm quite open to getting messages/questions everything

Thanks for considering my application,

Sakura Kyoko

☮ What date did you register as a CS member?: ☮
I registered as an official CS member on the date of October 9th, 2010 with the time of 12:22 am, to start my exciting life as a proud Chicken Smoothian Member ^^

☮ How many posts have you made in the forum: ☮
Since the time being of when I joined, until the current time, I have made 14,472 (Fourteen thousand, four hundred seventy-two posts)

This is because of helping on the 'Is this a fair trade' thread, roleplaying ( RPing / RP ), and helping others :)

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

Always 7 ( Seven ) days each week. :)

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

Usually around 10 (Ten) - 12 ( Twelve ) hours, because nothing is more better than enjoying a day on CS (Even though jogging is a just-as-extraordinary option as well :3)

But when school starts on Monday, I will only be on about 3 (Three) - 4 (Four) hours, which wouldn't be a problem :3

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

I could help with issues between two people (Which though should be through PM between the two, which is Also against the rules, and the mods would need to take care of, since it is there job to remind others about the rules.)

I am also currently taking French, Spanish, and Japanese. I could maybe help with other languages as well.

I have been made an Admin and a Moderator on a few different sites. (Will hopefully post all sites later today.)

I am also an 'expert' with how much a character is worth, with the knowledge of all the best artists on the internet. - And with the quantity of art the character has -

Helping People is my main, (and my best) quality ;3

I clear out my messages / inbox right after I respond, so messages getting deleted wouldn't be a problem :3 // My inbox would never be full :3

I will usually read over the CS rules every month, just to make sure I don't forget any single detail, so I will definitely help remind others about the rules if they are too lazy needing a quick list of the rules that would take them a second to read :3

After being around one of the best trade experts ( ~ t r o u b l e ~ ), I believe I have had some of her knowledge remembered in my mind :3

After being around amazing oekaki artists, and observing the guide for oekaki, I think I have a bit of knowledge of it ^^

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
My favorite hobby is to help others in need of help (Includes any problem that someone would need help with, from arguments to help with grammar.) Helping is the biggest thing someone should respect, (Or as I believe.) And helping people, no matter what they do, is what I love to do best.

I will occasionally spend my spare time on CS ( When I am not helping others or roleplaying, ) I will gift new users with ( somewhat ) good pets to help them have a better chance with trading and / or buying art, or anything they might need to do :3 Although this is probably not necessary to post. But, I think I would have more meaning and need to gift everyone a pet any time I can. :3

As I believe I mentioned before, I love to help people. Most people throughout my life has called me the nicest person they have ever met, so, I would like to put my kindness to use, by helping people more than I actually do.

This has been my life-long dream ever since I was a newbie on CS. If I got this job, I would just scream, with being so excited to have one of the best jobs ever - Of being a General Helper - It might not mean I am part of the staff, or that I would be more special than anyone else (Which wouldn't matter because nobody could be more special than anybody else) But to feel all happy inside :3

I am starting a new school on Monday, in a whole new state, and getting the news of me getting the job as a General Helper would make my life at that school better, knowing that I have the best job in the world <3

Truly nothing better to do then help someone, and make their day better! ^^

Thank you! ^^ Good luck everyone, and I hope you have a great, wonderful day ^^

I really like cs and think it would be nice to help the new/unsure members around cs. I've never bitten anyone and don't plan on biting any of the cs members.

Some riddles also. I speak some french, i'm not that good though. I also can speak some spanish. It's not as good as my french though! X3.

I'd love to help anyone who needs help and I will be alot more active in the school year. I'm fine with getting random PM's from any people. After I'm back from vacation I check CS maybe like 5 times a day. And you said it might take a few weeks so I should be back before then C:. I remember I had to figure stuff out for myself when I first joined and it wasn't very fun trust me :l. I had a few rude comments from trades before I finally got the hang of it and I'd hate for other members to go.

What date did you register as a CS member?:
October 24, 2010 - So I've been on Chicken Smoothie for a year, nine months and three weeks.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
793

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I usually visit Chicken Smoothie at least once every day of the week. Sometimes I might not be able to, due to constantly changing schedules with Theatre, Piano, Friends, and Family events.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
I usually stay on for most of the day, if I have to leave at some point I get on later in the night, or sometime the next day. I don't know exactly how long I stay on each time, but it's definitely around the 6+ hour mark.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
I tend to handle stress very well, I'm not a very stressed out person, and when stress is layed on my shoulders I go about things in a rather calm manor. I'm very calm in tough situations. A debate between two arguing members for example; I'm one of those people that listen to both sides of a story and consult higher ranking authority if I know I can't be of any help. When people ask questions, I tryto be the first to answer them. I love helping people, it's really fun and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I speak a bit of spanish, as well as french. I have what some would call a photographic memory, once I learn how to do something, or know where to go to get to a certain topic, I can easily instruct someone else on how to do or get to it. Experience wise, I'm a moderator on the popular SSSWarriorCats forum, which is based on the SSS fan videios on youtube, and have been for nearly two years, so I have experience in dealing with people that ask the same questions over and over. I mean, if they don't understand the first time, obviously I'm not explaining it in a simple way, so I'm always willing to try again, as many times as it takes so whomever I'm helping knows how to do what they are seeking to do like the back of their hand. In real life, I've been a student councile member, this will be my second year actualy. So I'm fairly good with peer mediation.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I want to be a general helper for the sheer fact that I love helping people. Now, I know I'm not very well known on CS, that would be due to me being a bit shy. However, helping people is something I have always really loved doing. It's just.. Knowing that someone is benefiting from something I've told them really makes me smile, and lets me know that I've done something good to help someone whom needed it. I get along great with people. Who cares if there are differences between us, not everyone likes the same things after-all. I like answering questions, I can't even begin to explain. Even in real life I'm constantly waiting for someone to ask something about anything, 'cause I just can't wait to pipe up and answer them to help them out. I'm a really easy going person, I'm not to serious and I'm definitely not judgemental, at least from what I'm told I'm not. Haha. I really don't know what else to say, besides that I sincerely want to help people as much as I can, and this would be a great way to do it. I really appreciate that my form has been looked over, and I just want to thank whomever looks at them and decides on the people chosen for taking time out of their days to do something like this, so thankyou guys. c:

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

2709 posts

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?

Seven days a week

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

The most I've ever spent consistently is about two or three, but throughout the day I pop in and out to reply to PMs and look at the forum so it's rather hard to say for sure.

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?

I can speak a microscopic amount of Cherokee and Spanish, but I have a friend that speaks several languages so she would be able to help me communicate with someone that doesn't speak fluent English. I would be particularly skillful answering questions about writing, books, things of that nature since I'm an author. I also like to think I'm good with explaining things because I'm blunt and to the point- meaning I don't confuse them by giving them too many instructions. I tell them what they need to know as simply as possible.

Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert?

Considering I have no idea what that means, no, but I'm sure I can learn along the way.

Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum?

Not very many, but if someone has a question on a thread I'm on, I try to answer as best I can.

Do you know how all the tools/options in the oekaki work?

Unfortunately, no. I can't draw, so I've never really used it. However, I like to lurk through the art on that part of the forums so I might be able to answer a few questions there.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

I'd like to be a General Helper because I remember how confusing the forums were when I was new and not knowing who to ask to get my way around, and so I'd like to be able to be there when someone new, or even an old ChickenSmoothie member needs help around the forums and throughout the entire world of CS.

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: I joined CS on February 1st, 2011. Or, about 1 year, 6 months, and 13 days ago.
2.How many posts have you made in the forum: 1547 posts (I was recently Un-coppa'd in March.)
3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 7, provided I'm not on vacation. Although, I'm less avalible in the summer on Sundays and Thursdays. And, since I'm still in school, I am less avalible durning the weekdays during the school year.
4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: In the summer, usually beetween 4 and 5 hourse. Closer to 6 or 7 if I dont have anything going on. during the school year, I try to get on for at least 2 1/2 hours, though that dosn't always happen. But I am almost always on for at least 2. It really does depend on how much work I have.
5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I am currently learning spanish, I have a very diverse dictionary of english words, I have a vast knowledge of Pet Raritys, my Item raritys are a little weaker, but I know enough to know whats fair and what is not. I am very patient (I have a 6 year old sister at home, so I kind of have to be. ) I have a sense of humor, and am always willing to help out.
6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
Well, there are alot of reasons really, mostly because I just love helping people, and, seeing as I joined only a year and a half ago, people don't seem to think that I know much, so, I dont get alot of people who ask me things. I always try and help out, I try to spend some time on the Fair Trade Thread when I can. I just love helping others! It just makes me feel good knowing that I've helped someone, even if its only a simple question answered.

Thank you for reading my little ramble up there. :3 Good luck to everyone!

Sorry, just curious. c8

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
4,742 posts, but now thats one more. c:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
7, most of the time. If not seven, then at least 6. I just started school, and Im going out for sports aswell.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
I can normally spend as much time I want on here, but on school nights, I get off around 12-2 in the morning, Mountain Standard time. On weekends, I range from a few hours, to all day.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
I am very patient, and I do quite alot of trading. I know most of the rarities, and whether a trade is fair or not. I know some Spanish, as I took it in Junior High. Im not currently taking any language classes, but my vocabulary is a little weak. I'm always available for questions, and I love to help out with things.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
c: As stated, I love helping out with things, and Im always open for answers. I might not seem like the person that can answer questions, that are complicated, but I would try to make it short and sweet. If that makes sense. If someone doesnt understand something that I have said, I would gladly repeat it, with simpler words.

c: Good luck everyone!
