Small question - While Toki is a GH already, I was wondering if I ( Bel ) could apply to be a GH?

Not sure how it would work for merged accounts ^^;

Quoting because it was never answered c:

I don't think Bel could apply for one; as the both of you are merged, and it'd be pointless if Bel applied again. It's like if Toki re-applied for GH. c:

Except technically Bel is a regular member. While she is on the same account as me, she doesn't look/post/etc. in places she isn't supposed to. c;

Really, in my own opinion, it'd be perfectly fine if she wanted to. I see no reason why she shouldn't. ouo

I think I might have read somewhere that if you are a merged account the other user has to accept your duties as well. I cuold be wrong but I thought this would help a little.

[*]When applying for staff positions both members must meet the requirements and do an application. Both must be accepted as well, not just one member of an account to get the job.

View the whole guide here.
So in other words, I believe Bel is a General Helper too. If not, I don't see why she can't apply.

[kivr & fireflii]

Thanks guys, but I think it's a bit different from GH or has changed since? Global Moderators, yes, both need to be accepted. When we merged though, it didn't matter that Bel wasn't a GH (could be different since g.mods have actual moderator powers). We were just told/promised that Bel wouldn't do certain behind-the-scene GH things (like working at the ticket system). Anyway, she'll probably put in an app. nonetheless.

Bel should/could if she wanted to. (: I'm sure just being on an account with you Toki has taught her many things, and I think she should apply for herself, if she feel's the time is right. C:

Glad to hear she is. (:

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
1571 posts, and more to come. I plan on staying here for a long time, as I enjoy the community and being around everyone here. Whether or not I get this position, I will continue to do what I do everyday, as Chicken Smoothie is something I look forward to. ^^
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
All. Chicken Smoothie is like, almost my addiction, in a good way that is. :) For me, a day without chicken smoothie, sucks a lot. It's like, not being able to see your friends, or not being able to even give help to your friends, or even others.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
I would say from anytime to 1:00 in the afternoon to about 2:00 am, or a bit less sometimes. I try to stay on Chicken Smoothie as long as I can, because it's like my getaway, and I really feel happy, and truly excited to see others being able to cope with others. It gets me glad to see people helping others, and I try to take on that role also. (: I have insomnia, and I stay up on Chicken Smoothie, so I can always answer's those in a different time zone then me, or answer questions for those late night birds. (:
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
I speak French and German, although Google Translate is always my friend. I grew up in a traditional German home, and I was taught German, and how to respect other's and their traditions, just like I excepted them to accept mine. With school, I was also taught bits of french, and I'm currently in a french immersion program. I'm more then willing to learn more languages, and am always open to teach others German and French.
I'm always open to giving advice to others, and I find it fun to help others, and direct them in the right direction. I know when I first joined I was very inexperienced, but I think everyone around me on Chicken Smoothie guided me in the right direction, teaching me fair trading, different ways to handle situations I was in, and what was right and what was wrong. Unfortunately, when I tried a new hobby, I was given a warning, due to me being foolish and not reading the rules, in which I have fully read many times. I was quite new to what I was doing, and ended up getting one. Since then, I really did ask more and more for advice and help, and I want to help others so they don't end up like me. I'd rather more people without a warning, then people lost and not asking for help, and getting a warning. Sadly, what I did was not acceptable, so if I can help others, I feel like that warning was turned into a blessing almost. But it will always stick to me.
I know trading and rarity's, as I have rare's and Very rares, some of which are on the Rare's list. I really like trading, and gifting others. I trade serious, but with friends, I like spoiling them. They are, after all, the one's that have helped me the most. Trading, Art and Role play are big hobbies for me, so I really try to excel in them. Fairness, obeying their and Chicken Smoothie's rules are a really big factor to me, and follow them as best as I can.
I do reply on threads asking for help, well at least the one's that I can answer, and answer them honestly and kindly, and only express my opinion, not bashing or saying hateful comments towards someone's view point. I have very good grammar, and spelling, and always include it in everything I say. I like expressing myself in very detailed writing, or sometime's just simple smiley face's.
Art is something I do a lot now, so I've learned the tricks and tools of the trade. ;) I've drawn in the oekaki before, so I'm use to the tools, and how to use them. I've read the helpful guide to the oekaki, so when I used it myself the first time, I had no troubles at all.
I know Chicken Smoothie's 'Post a reply' coding, and some HTML and BBcode, so if anyone were to ever ask me any question's about that, I'd be most then glad to answer. I did/do a lot of role playing on here and other sites, so I know how to code, and how to improve grammar and spelling.
I know the help box, since I have put in a ticket before. I know my way around Chicken Smoothie, and where guides and tips are. I've read most of the guide's made by Members and Staff members, and I'm currently reading a couple over again. I want to make sure that I understand them clearly, so if I do get position, I can help member's clearly, and provide accurate information.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
I feel I can help direct members (or newbies) for help, and be honest and truthful to whatever they need help with. I will encourage the user's I'm helping to follow the rules, and have as much fun as possible. I'm more of a positive person, making other's feel their question they asked is normal, and feel comfortable talking to us. I can be quiet strict, though it's more towards following the rules, and making sure theft, copyright, inappropriate topics/words, and/or abusive topics/words don't become a regular help question that come's up. I think my time on Chicken Smoothie has taught me many things; including to trust the staff, but also the members. Everyone can help everyone, even staff and members. If we all help each other, we'd be like a big community, in which we already are, and I'm sure we'd all like to keep it that way. C:
Since I'm very active on the forum, I can always help others there, without them wondering if they should or should not ask for help. Some newer members are scared to ask, as I was a long time ago to when I first joined. But when I started talking to newbie helpers, and other members, I realized myself they were no different, and were defiantly not scary, I opened up and started asking more and more questions, that led me here. I'm very glad that there were helpful General Helpers. I want to help other's because of many reasons. One being that I don't want anyone to end up with a warning like me, so I want to help them with the correct information, and guide them to the rules, or guide them to guide's member's and staff member's have made for other's. I would encourage member's if they have more personal questions to put a ticket to the Help box, so that mods and you and Nick can answer. Another reason why I want to become a General Helper is because I like the feeling of other's happiness. If something in my household goes wrong, or something more personal happens, I feel member's who are bright and happy because of the answer they received make's me feel a TON better. Instead of me helping them, it's like they helped me in return. I feel just being able to help others, whether or whether not I'm a General helper, affects me as someone; seeing happy people makes me feel like I did something great, just like the people applying feel too.
Watching newer members join get's me excited... I'm not so sure why, I just do. Maybe it's because that I love watching this site expand, and become more active, and more smiling smiley's. Maybe it's because I just love making more friends, and also helping them too, or just simply helping them with their questions, or giving them advice for the long run. (:

I thought that I should add that I do have a warning. I do feel quite childish, and angry at myself that I let that happen. I understand if that affects this.
Thanks for your time in reading this. (:
