Helper wave | #4 | September 2017

[Matt Murdock]

I know. Do helpers apply to become moderatos though? Because I haven't seen any moderator applications yet there are new moderators. It would be unny if we keep saying helpers are just helpers because they aren't. The position is being used as another step in the ladder of the staff team, and that is wrong, but voicing my opinion in a post about new helpers isn't gonna help the cause either so I'm just gonna slowly watch it burn

Also about your "necessarily" point, we all know moderators aren't going to necessarily become admins, but they eventually do. So do helpers.

Well, as Younes mentioned. Not every helper is chosen to be a moderator (There are many past examples). Also if you are selected, and do not wish to be a moderator, you can simply turn down the offer and retain your position as a helper.

I am actually glad and happy that the helper position is the way to become a moderator. Joining the staff is about helping others, and with the helper rank you learn to do exactly that. You have the  staff team guide you and explain to you whatever is unclear, and if the HQ feels like the helper has learned and advanced and is ready to be given such rights, then good. I'd rather see people undergo a certain program then simply be given moderator rights and it has worked very well until now. Survival of the fittest.

Agreed as I have gone through both routes.

Well defined!
