Hello! A lot of people are just doing swaps at the moment, like a very uncommon for a very uncommon of the same year. Some of the 2:1 rules still works, like 2 commons=1 uncommon of that year. I suggest you talk it out with the person you're trading with to ensure both of you think its fair, and if you want some further help, making a post over on Is This Fair? can get you some great opinions on people well versed in trading! Hope this helps a bit!

Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: i've been a user on this site since mid-2008 (switched accounts back in the olden days(tm), so i've been on the site a bit longer than my join date) and i'd like to believe i've gotten a pretty handle on the website since then. i try to help people where i can and enjoy getting to help others get into a website i enjoy so much. i've got a good handle on general trading rules/etiquette, adoption, forum rules, etc. i think i have a lot to offer newer players c:
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: at least once daily, but i typically check in multiple times a day to bump my trade thread, answer trades and send pms. i average about three hours online every day, but typically more than that, since i primarily play on mobile.
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: yes!
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: yes!

Thread Update

The following adopters have been accepted and will be added onto the list:

The following adopter forms have been declined for the following reasons:
  • Form was inadequate, either did not provide enough information for us to make a decision or it simply did not give us confidence that you could adequately help a newbie. If you are not sure how you can fix this, you may PM a thread-mod about it.

The following newbies have been assigned the following adopters:

Newbies, your adopter will be messaged shortly to notify them that they have been assigned to you, and will hopefully be able to answer all your questions. If they don't contact you within around a week, or if you're having other problems such as they're being rude to you, you don't understand their explanations, or anything like that, you can PM one of our thread mods, and we will assign you to a new adopter as soon as we can.

Our mods are;
>> AquilaFuga - axelandria - Burrito Bunny

In the meantime, I would suggest that you take a little look at the Newbie Guide & Index, if you haven't already. It has some great tips, and could help you while you wait for your adopter.

Have you helped anyone before anywhere on CS? If so, please link to the post/s: yes, i have also helped friends join the site but i dont have any links, here are the links i do have: Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4873607&start=6840#p143215499 , Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4873607&start=6900#p143222963 , Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4873607&start=6840#p143215427
Why should you be allowed to adopt a newbie?: I would love to help people around a site i care about. I have a pretty good grasp of everything on the website including the oekaki, roleplay forums, most trades, art shops, and just the normal forums. When i explain something i do it very thoroughly, this stems from people trying to explain things to me but not having enough detail for me to understand (not just from this site but in general throughout my life). I am NOT good at the coding aspect of the website besides the absolute bare bones basics that you can see the options for.
How often do you get on CS, and how long are you typically online on these days?: every day, on weekends im on almost the full day on and off. On week days im usually on consistently after 3pm, but i will usually check the site through out the day when possible
Did you read and understand all of the Adopter information?: yes
Do you agree to be helpful and polite to your newbie at all times?: ofcourse!
