How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
7 days a week, I'm an Internet person.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Lately I don't have many lectures, so I'm spending quite a lot time on CS. On more busy days it's still always around at least 4-5 hours, when I have free time I sometimes can spend whole day on the CS. I have to admit, You made this site very addicting. : P

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
If we're speaking about languages, I can fluently speak only English, German and Polish, but honestly I think this is even more than enough here. I'm already doing my best to help other people here through answering questions I'm already getting via PMs and active posting on Forum; as examples I can mention my AC for Coppa'd which turned out to be not only the AC, but also a little help center, as I often answer their questions about the CS [through trades, as they can't post or write messages, of course], some guides I'm making with other players [for example, I'm one of the "Outcomes Threads" "staff"] or all the anti-ninja trading during 18th Dec re-release bigger and smaller "campaigns" I'm participating in or organising. I also think I'm long enough here to answer almost all questions about CS. I don't have any diploma confirming that I ended some kind of training in peer mediation, but being an adult player I can interfere where other players are fighting without getting into fight and letting my emotions take over.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Despite it's "only" a pet-adopting site with rather big forum, the CS has given me a lot and I think it's time to repay - and there's no better way than helping out other players. The GH position doesn't give anything, but would let other players find me more easily, what is already a huge +.

edit: Corrected some typos.

What date did you register as a CS member?: I registered onto CS on May 22, 2012, approximately 18 months ago.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): This will be my 4,791st post.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? Unless if there is a major change in my schedule (Sickness, Holiday, Party, etc.), I usually visit CS every day of the week.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? On weekdays, I spend 3-6 Hours on CS, and up to 10 hours on Weekend days.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I'm a decent leader (I take leadership seminars at school), I can keep a cool head in situations, and I believe that I have an extensive vocabulary. My friends have recognized me as a place to go when they have troubles, so I can see how people can resolve their problems with my help.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well, I've always seen people getting horrid information from other users on CS, and I really am not fond of that. It hurts me to see that people give wrong information on purpose, just to see another member confused. I would like to use my knowledge of this website to help others, and I could see myself doing that.

Thank you for the chance to apply for General Helper, I would like to wish my luck to all entrants.

Why do you want to be a General Helper? I just adore helping people! It makes me feel good, it makes them feel good. I enjoy assisting others and, recently, I found out that I'm extremely patient and a diligent worker.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: Commonly every day of the week unless I happen to be more busy than usual with work or college exams

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:Around 4+ hours I'd say

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:I've been a mediator in several peer mediation groups throughout high school due to my tendency to be a peace maker and find out simple but peaceful ways to end disputes between two parties. I can easily remain at a neutral stance, viewing both sides before helping with a conclusion. I have a good understanding of CS rules along with trading, and have joined "adopt a newbie" to help new members several times. Each time I've spent quite a bit of quality time teaching them about what they should know, including links to the rules and helping them with how to gauge if a trade is fair. Commonly I do this more-so over christmas, since commonly during the 18th they have confusion with what pets they have. I have successfully aided many out of the grip of christmas "ninjas". On top of that I have stopped a handful or art thefts, one of which was located off of ChickenSmoothie, and on chatlands. I have camped out on intro boards several times and will try my best to do so more often.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?:I love to help people and be a generaly kind and peaceful member of CS. Although I admit there are days where I've got the grumps, I have never harassed or bullied anyone and tend to be a positive and helpful member and would like to continue being this way on chicken smoothie. I will try to remain generally cheerful and helpful and hope to own up to the expectations of this position if given it. I would love to help those in need here on chickensmoothie.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
5 or 6, depending on my schedule. I am not on Sundays though.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
On Mondays and Tuesdays, I will generally come on for about 1 and a half hours, due to Martial Arts. I try to come on as much as possible, I'm usually on for about 5-7 hours during the week though.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position:
That's a tough question, but I would say yes. I am currently in the leadership program (Again in Martial Arts), and we are told to help out as much as we can. Being in this course, I am able to handle situations of repeated questions and I am very patient with other users and people. I also have began a co-owned circus training and gymnastics school with a friend at school, and we even will teach people older than us. I can also speak German quite well and read and write it even better. I am also very good at "Peer Meditation", as I ha had to deal with many people who I need to use this with. I also get PMs from other players asking me questions, and answered almost all of them. I am fairly good at trade values, but with pets and C$ mostly./i]

Why do you want to be a General Helper?: [
i]I want to be a general helper because I really like to help others when they're confused! I would not only use skills that I've gained previously, but I would be able to also gain experience from being a helper! I think that it would also be fun to be a general helper on CS, and I would like to help people with things that they don't know, and give them advice. I've also, seen many people asking questions more than once because they didn't understand the previous answer, and other players yelling at them. I would like to answer their questions before this happens.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every single day <3
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
At the very, very least I spend about 10 hours, maybe a little less during the week.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?
I speak basic Spanish and German, and I consider myself very good with trading values, and getting around the site.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I love to help new players, and becoming at least a general helper on here has always been a dream of mine, so I could help people a little better c:

Thank you!

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7 days a week. Even if I'm busy I still manage to find time for CS.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? On busy days, I'm online 3-4 hours per day and on usual days, anywhere from 7-12 hours a day.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required): I consider myself a peer mediator because I'm editor-in-chief of my high school yearbook staff of approximately 250 kids. With so many kids on staff, there is bound to be arguments and disagreements somewhere along the line, and when there is I step in and solve them. It's part of my duty as the editor. I am also a student mentor for underclassmen at my school. I show incoming students (transfer students, foreign exchange or freshmen) the way around the school, the best routes to take, I show them their classes, introduce them to nice people, and even tutor them if they're having difficulties with a subject. I also think I know my rarities fairly well and I help new members when I can, like when I receive a trade from them, I try to point them in the right direction if I can tell they're struggling.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I really love to help people. It's one of the best ways to make friends and get to know other people. An act as simple as showing a new user the "Is this a fair trade?" thread is enough to make them happy and that is honestly the best reward. I remember when I was a new user, we didn't have general helpers and we had to try to figure out things on our own, which was very difficult at times. But now that we have general helpers, I believe it makes their CS experience even more enjoyable.
