Help Squad recruitment (new usergroup)
Hey guys. Today we're introducing a new usergroup called the Help Squad. The main focus of this usergroup is to improve problem-solving response times.

What is the Help Squad?

Like I said, the Help Squad ensures that users receive adequate help and support when it is needed. Members of the usergroup will have a colored username on the forums and a section on the "View Toribash Staff" page. Help Squad is to the help and support boards as Market Squad is to the market boards.

What would a Help Squad member be tasked with?

Typically, a Help Squad member will:

-> Respond to Support threads with knowledgeable solutions to user issues
-> Real-time support in the #support IRC channel
-> Relay bugs and stuff to appropriate developers/administrators
-> Maintain the FAQ
-> Help and welcome users in the Beginner's Sanctuary
-> Ensure that Reports are receiving adequate attention and are properly categorized
-> Maintain a professional image when helping or otherwise interacting with users

What kind of people are the Help Squad looking for? How can I apply?

A Help Squad member should be friendly and possess a decent amount of technical know-how when it comes to the game or the forum. Proper training will be available for less-experienced members. Help Squad members should also write some purty good english.

To apply, send a private message to box, Wizard, or any Super Moderator. Available times and prior experience are the most important points we want to read about. Please do not submit an application in this thread! Thread is to ask questions about the scope of the usergroup and other discussion involving the Help Squad.

No, ban appeals are handled by people that place bans.

Are we able to help with reports or do we just categorize them?

Also are we allowed to manage Scam Reports or only General Reports?

The scope of the Help Squad extends to all boards in the "Help" section of the forums. That includes the Beginner Sanctuary, Technical Support, Reports, FAQ, and all of their child forums.

No, you do not handle reports because there is not much you can do to help. Maybe things like tagging threads to receive attention from appropriate usergroups would be fine. Otherwise, you'd just make sure that each report receives appropriate attention.

Well if a hs were to place a ban then they would handle it i believe even lmods can give bans through infraction

No, Help Squad has no reason to ban people. You will have local moderator powers in the Help section which will give you the ability to delete posts, close threads, etc.

No, local mods can't infract. That was only a rare case way back in the day.
