My newbie looked at my message, but never responded. May I be placed back at the top of the list?

Yes we do c: Its still the best way to make sure someone knows about their newbie.



Thanks for the PM, guys. Never would I have known! What do we do if our Newbie is COPPA'd?

I think that to adopt again, you have to be put at the bottom, just like everyone else.

COPPA'd newbies can't post on the thread, and since there would be no means for us to have adopters communicate with them its rather hard to adopt them out. I know a lot of COPPA'd users have older siblings to help them out (and may have brought them to CS in the first place) But since communicating through oekakis (the only place they can post) would probably be spam, and there is no other easy way of talking to them we really can't do anything other then provide a good FAQ for them and provide links to other guides around CS.

But we always encourage helping out COPPA'ds if you get trades from them and they seem to be struggling with what is or isn't fair. They can still read what you write so you can always kindly explain it to them and send a more reasonable trade back.

(Oh and last thought, some COPPA'd will communicate to you through pet names in trades, you have to click the pets to see the name though. Thats usually the first thing I check when getting a trade from a COPPA'd member)

tldr; You can't be assigned a COPPA'd newbies cause they can't post their form here, so its nothing to worry about.

Actually if you didn't answer any questions from your newbie, then you can be put at the top of the list since you've already waited a good while and didn't get the chance to help your newbie.

@More Than Conquerors: We do prefer that adopter questions are left to thread-mods, so wrong answers aren't given when we aren't around (not angry or anything just letting you know) Our system tends to get a little complex or fuzzy in some areas and its just better to be left to us since we know it inside and out by now.

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I think it is time I start taking a big responsibility, and I feel maybe I should help others. I'd like to share my CS knowledge!
How often do you get on CS?: Pftt everyday. I'm an internet person <3
Which categories would you like to apply for?: General Knowledge, Forums, Role-playing, and Oekaki
How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: Depends. Maybe three, or four, hours
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course <3
Role-playing sample: I don't know… I guess I'll role-play a wolf in the forest?

Gemma lifted her muzzle to the pale grey sky, her shaggy dark fur swinging in knots. It was only days ago that her mother ran away from the place Gemma once called home. She remembered the whole thing. And now? She didn't want anything to do with the world. She just wanted to be careless, like the birds in the swaying trees.

With a raised head, Gemma parted her mouth and howled in sorrow and defeat, the voice like a loon. Haunting and filled with grief. Her breath clouded in front of her muzzle like a cloud in the frost weather, and yet unlike the lingering white cloud of condensation, her voice drifted over the mountains, free as a passed spirit.

(I was Josie; when I previously adopted a newbie)

Why should you be able to adopt a newbie?: I have adopted a newbie before and it was a great experience that helped me organize my knowledge while answering their questions. Teaching is something I love and I'm good at explaining things in different ways if someone does not understand the first time. I also have my answers that I've given my previous newbie saved so I could use them again if another newbie has similar questions, which would expedite them getting answers.

How often do you get on CS?: Almost everyday

Which categories would you like to apply for?: General Knowledge, Forums, BBCode, Roleplaying, Trading and Pets, Rares List (Advent).
(I passed the Advent list Rares List test the last time I adopted a newbie, but I understand if I have to take it again.)

How long do you typically spend on CS each day you get on?: A few hours [depends on if I have work].

Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: Of course!

Roleplaying example: It's kind of long so I linked to the post.
(this is the same one I was accepted for last time)
