How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Usually every day, unless I have computer maintenance or just cannot access the internet. However, this is rare.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Well, I usually spend about 3-4 hours browsing around per day.
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?) Well, I'm not sure if this counts but I have a great sense of solving issues and questions. I kindly come up and offer a solution, and 9/10 of the time it's legit and works great. Another thing I might mention is that I'm patient with others. Even if it takes a year or two, I can tolerate someone's silly questions and mistakes. I don't know any other language asides from English, but I'm learning the Japanese language on my own. I know a few words, but I still need to do a lot of studying before I can speak/read/write it properly.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? Because, well, I want to be useful around the site. I want to be a General Helper because I want to help out others in need and help out issues. When I'm browsing around on the site every day, I spot some issues that can be corrected, i.e. people posting in the wrong forum, users arguing, and the such. The reason I haven't confronted these issues and try to help is because I'm afraid that I would be unintentionally mini-modding, so I keep my nose out of it. But for the most part, I want to be a General Helper so that I can help make Chicken Smoothie a better place.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I come on literally everyday, and stay on for at least 1 - 4 hours [during school], and about 5+ when at home.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
I love communicating with people and have learned to handle many different situations through my college Communications class. I have also worked with school councilors in the past - learning how to mediate a situation.
I have already been answering many questions, and re - enforcing rules throughout my time on CS, and have always felt I should tryout for an official GH.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I just want to help people with anything they need. I also want to ensure the safety and understanding for these wonderful members of the ChickenSmoothie community. I have always wanted to become an "official authority" to make sure others take my good advice seriously. I also have so much time on my hands, and since most of it is spent on CS, I'd love to put it to an even more good use.

Thanks in advance for any consideration. ♥

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I keep the tab open all day, really, and I reply to any notifications nearly instantaneously.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I am rather familiar with values of items & pets. I additionally help out with the school counseling team + school psychologist and as I mature, I feel I deal with problems more maturely. Moreover, I speak fluent Mandarin Chinese although it is not my native tongue.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I feel that I should give back to the community after all these years I've been active on the site. I wish to help others feel as welcome as I did when I initially joined. (:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: I try to visit every day if I can, though I may not post every day, I certainly do lurk around.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: I'd say around 3+ hours.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required): I feel I have the necessary skills to be a General Helper because I have previous moderator experience on multiple websites, as well as being apart of a council on several other sites, and owning my own website. With all these skills, I know how to appropriately handle situations, stay on task and get things done, and be an overall positive and helpful person. I also would like to note down that I do more "behind the scenes" work than I do out in the open, which is why I love being a moderator and helping out with things that are not entirely seen (and may also explain why I am online often but don't entirely post as much). I work currently at a veterinary hospital, which can be a rather stressful environment at times. This shows I can work well under pressure, and I have been able to remain respectful, calm and polite when dealing with upset, rude, or angered clients.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I would like to be a General Helper here on CS because I have been a user here for many years, and I would love to give back to the community moreso than I am now. I remember being welcomed when I joined CS, and it is a great feeling to know you're accepted within a community, so I'd love to give this feeling to others and ensure their questions are answered appropriately and positively. I also recall when I was a younger member and had many questions, yet most people did not respond, so I would hate to see other users in this boat, and I do try to take an extra step in helping users. With this position, I feel it would help me give back more to the community, as well as make sure users feel comfortable here and are able to have their questions answered with a positive attitude.

Thank you for the consideration!

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 1,171.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Every day. This is the only site I've gone on consistently ever since I've registered.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Usually depends on what I have going on, but I check in frequently every hour, especially if I have a purpose to check the site (the advent calendar or my art shop when it would be open).
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I've been on the site for a long time and I am pretty familiar with it. I have run my own art shop for a couple of years now and I know that patience is required when people are asking you questions...especially when you're asking them for very specific details of what they want drawn. But I'm more patient with people on this site than anywhere else because I absolutely adore CS and the kind of people here.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I would really love to make use of how much I go on this site with helping other users to the best of my abilities. Even without a General Helper status, I'm always open to helping users because it is just a great thing to do. It makes me so thrilled to know I'm helping people become less confused, therefore allowing them to experience all of CS's potential more. The position would never be considered a hassle because of how often I tab to the site, either. Thank you. :-)
