Adopt-A-Newbie Agency, Version ?

[Locke Yggdrasill]

Feeling generous today? Care to give the newbies a place to live? Adopt a Newbie today!

The point of this whole thing is to help the newbies, show them the ropes. Tell them what you know. For the newbies, this was designed so that you would not feel nervous or alone. We can provide you a SPPf veteran to help you get acquainted with the place.


Owner: Locke Yggdrasill .

Assistants:
MondoTR
Darato
Those interested in assisting, you will be hand picked by me or my other designated assistants. Be smart and we'll consider you if you show interest.


Rules:

For the SPPf veterans who want to adopt;
1. When you sign up, you'll go through an inspection process to make sure you're suitable for adopting a new person.
2. You must use good English grammar and preferrably good spelling.
3. You must follow the rules.
4. Be polite.
5. Be nice to people. We on't want you to be rude to your newly adopted newbie.
6. At least be registered at SPPf longer than three months. If you had an older account here, please post the username under which it was.
7. Be patient. Give your newbie time to learn.
8. Make sure you read the Offical SPP Forum Rules before adopting. We want to make sure you know what's proper to teach your newbie.
9. HAVE FUN.

For the newbies:
1. Be nice to your adopter. It's nice for that person to adopt you.
2. Be patient with your adopter.
3. Have to be at least recently registered. (I don't want a 3-year SPPfer to be adopted.)
4. Try not to annoy your adopter too much, you might have lots of questions, but sometimes he or she can get frustrated. Pace yourself a bit.
5. At least TRY to use proper English. Many of our SPPFers get ticked off with chat speak. But comprehensible chat-speak is allowed.
6. Leet speak isn't allowed at all.
7. Have to read the Offical SPP Forums Rules before being adopted. We want the newbies to have a good idea of what we want people to behave like here at the forums.
8. Try your best to refrain from spamming. We all spam, but please, try to not.
9. HAVE FUN.

Remember, we reserve the right to deny any applications.

I beseech of everyone to read both sets of guidelines so that you know what you should be following as well as the other person in your mentoring pair.

If you have any problems with the newbie you adopted, or with the owner who adopted you, or if for any reason you want to stop being the adopter (owner) or the adoptee (newbie), please PM me with your newbie or your owner's name and explain what the problem is or what you want to do to resolve the situation.

Please refer to this to see if you are an eligible adopter. This is a Calendar Calculator.

Adopters and newbies, when signing up for this agency, please provide a little bit of information about yourself.

Since how the requirment to be an adopter in this thread is three months, I'll wean you off after three months. We can still remain good friends ofcourse, and you can still always come to me if your having trouble or questions. ^_^ I would also preferr if you had MSN so I can have an easy way to contact you.

[Sammi]

Name you want to be called: Sammi, or Samz.
Age: 12. Though don't underestimate me for my age. I really dislike those kinds of people.
Likes: I like a lot of little things that don't matter, like Anime pairings and umbrellas. Oh, sweets too. My list of things I like is far too long so please skip this.
Dislikes: HOMOPHOBES. It's in caps for a reason. I really, really, really hate them. I can't stand them; I'm bisexual. Oh, and racists, Anti-Anime/Manga people, people who think whoever likes something Japanese is a weeaboo, people who disrespect art, people who are way too happy-go-lucky, anti-organized signature people, people who keep whining about not being able to make a good piece of art (you have to try instead of give up, goddamn), people who can't stand swearing, people who can't stand androgneous people, people who hate Japanese things because they're Japanese, people who call my by my real name, my real name, homework... and the list goes on and on.
Interests: Umm, I'll put my hobbies here. I love to draw, and every other form of visual art that doesn't involve acting. I also like writing and reading, as well as some forms of math, graphic designing, watching Anime, reading Manga, gaming, and taking walks in the rain. I also like shopping, worshipping Anime romance, and other girly things like playing with my hair. Oh umm, and editing my signature.
SPPf Forums you visit often: Shipping, Miscellaneous, Games, Polls, Mystery Dungeon/Trozei/Ranger, Fan Art, Alt Anime, Alt Manga.
For the Adopters; length of time I have been here at the forums: I have been here since September of 06. That's over a year, for sure.

As a side note, I'm really picky with newbies/pairs/etc, so don't be too expectant of me to adopt you unless you really fit with me. I'd really love it if the Newbie wanted to actually be friends with me instead of me just showing them the ropes. I'd like to show someone the ropes and get to be friends with them at the same time. Anyway, that's all. I hope my post follows the rules and such. Oh. One more thing. As Babylon said, please be active here, and MSN would be nice since it would be easy contact.

EDIT: I'd like to add that I'm a rather perverse person that fangirls over Anime/Manga waaaaaaay too much to be considered... sane, and does really weird things, thinks oddly, spazzes a lot, isn't too patient and is really... quirky. Just a warning for any newbies that uh, are thinking of being adopted by me.

 

[Sheer Cold]

Locke Yggdrasill: I think it may be a good idea to have a variation of "What type of newbie I want" in the adopters' form, like in the newbie form.

Name you want to be called: Articuno
Age: 14
Likes: Good grammar.
Dislikes: Bad grammar. 
Interests: Math, knowledge, music, making artwork, programming, web design
SPPf Forums you visit often: Misc. Discussion, Clubs, General Pokemon Discussion
For the Adopters; length of time I have been here at the forums: 6 months, 26 days

Notes: I WILL NOT tolerate lazy grammar or spelling. The newbie would preferably be at least 12 years old, with similar interests as mine. As Babylon said, I don't want a drop-out.

SPPf Forums you visit often: Role Playing Games, Miscellaneous Discussion, Alternate Anime, Clubs
For the Adopters; length of time I have been here at the forums: 3 years and 11 months - almost four years.


Like Sammi and some other members, I only want an adoptee that plans to stay at the forums for a long time and a person who wants to be friends with me. You'll need to understand that I really like anime and manga and I'm not going to bend to you. I'm not saying you have to like anime/manga to be friends with me, but I will relate to it alot. Just so you know.
