About identification: The higher-ups haven't expressed that they would like for HS to have in-game identification. It takes a lot of convincing and when I was HS I would have to stay up until 2 A.M. just to talk to someone about ideas and the direction of HS. Needless to say, I can't do that anymore.

About HS: Help Squad, in my opinion, is at a good position right now. It does not need to rapidly expand into unfamiliar territories, it will cause a burnout within its members. They are already taking up more responsibility by sitting in beginner rooms and talking to new people, which, quite frankly, is very rigorous and boring. So, as long as HS helps new people by teaching them new things, engaging with them and getting them involved with the community, that is all that should matter. It's all about getting user retention up.

Also: if you're worried about getting rewarded for being staff or having a colored name on the forums or in-game, please don't apply. Put your time and energy someplace else.
