Yeezy makes good points that would be constant issues. Yes the helper rank would go to people who are regulars that we get to know and trust but people change. Some people, including staff, may start out as nice and helpful but over time they are no longer fit to have such commands on the server. This is also a way to have staff members get their friends to have roles on the server since I do not see why we would make this an applicable position and not just give them trusted.

What you are suggesting is basically the rank of donor but with no donating involved just cherry picked members of the community getting the role. This may work fine today but the staff team has a history that would have been absolute hell even more than it already was at the time if this role existed with the abusive powers that were involved that you and I both know existed at separate times. I will not say if that issue exists today or not but there is obviously a chance it could repeat itself in the future like it has already with an abusive higher up just making his friends/colleagues basically staff and running rough shot on the server.

This is not a bad idea and I understand the thoughts for this. However for a Gmod server, the cons and/or repercussions of this idea, I do not believe is worthwhile.

Then maybe let's do it as a fallback. We're not confident enough to give them staff but we wanna see if they can handle the issues of being staff. I know this server also has a history of promoting bad staff to Trusted and we've had what we've called "Forever Trusted". Just give people a chance to show they can use powers without making them a Trusted rank.
