Best Posts in Thread: Buddy System

I believe this is what we have Helpers and other staff for. I don't think this is necessary as you always run the risk of having people who don't know enough to make much difference volunteer, and possibly make the experiences even worse for new players.

Though I do agree that we could use more staff members that more-so spend their time at spawn to answer questions, especially when there's a lot of other staff online or no modreqs to take care of. Many times the new players just don't understand the need to put /g (or /shout, for you oldies.) before every message to talk to the whole server.

Also this. ^

If you would be able to explain more in depth of what the role/task of these volunteers/buddies would be, I'd be happy to hear it. Otherwise, we really don't need tags/ranks/names to help others. I feel like some people would just do it to be recognized for helping. If you want to help people, you can either apply for staff and have full duties/responsibilities, or do it out of the goodness of your heart - not expecting for anything in return. (Or in this case, a "label" to make you stand out. Either way, it sounds like a nice idea, just not very efficient in some areas.
