Improvement to Help Squad Identification
So Ingame badges are a thing for every other group that has an effect in game, other than Admins (Even Event Artists have one) so why not Help Squad? Or at least something to make them more identifiable in game.
Pros:
Cons:
If you have any additional pros and cons, then please provide them below and I'll add them to the OP.
Pros:
- With the Help Squad's increased necessity for activity in game, would it not be helpful for them to be identifiable to others? They have no current prefix symbol or anything, and considering their work is mostly with beginners to the game, it would help to have something clear to label them with. Drawing them towards the member for help. (A prefix is possible, however I am unsure of how people are going to globally be able to associate the prefix symbol with the Help Squad, a '?' maybe?).
- (A Side Note) With an on-going Recruitment Drive, wouldn't it be nice to say "Oh and you get a cool looking in game badge" as just a little extra that would attract players towards the idea of getting involved and helping the retention rates of the game. Especially with the amount of work they are doing for very little recognition, it would help to bring light to them in the community. (Read This Post Before Commenting On This)
For Anyone Thinking of Applying
- As mentioned, almost every other staff position has one and so it simply adds stigma to the group as 'not part of the staff team' when they are undeniably vital to the community.
Cons:
- Time taken out of the item forgers days, and the creation of a new item (unaware of how arduous this process is).
If you have any additional pros and cons, then please provide them below and I'll add them to the OP.

As I mentioned before, it would help in certain situations but it's not really something mandatory, it's mostly just proving new players in the beginner rooms that you are a staff member and there to help them. It's also quite useful if you're just chilling in public room and someone has a quick question that they want to ask, it would be easier for people to identify that this person can help them if they got any questions or need assistance.
