	'''Helper''' is a [[Ranks\|rank]] on the [[Dogcraft Server\|Dogcraft server]]. Their role is to help new players on the server. On the server it is represented in chat and on tab by the {{Rank\|Helper}} tag, which has the "Helper" text in light red, and the brackets and the player's name in aqua.		'''Helper''' was a [[Ranks\|rank]] on the [[Dogcraft Server\|Dogcraft server]] from March 2019 to December 2023. Their role was to help new players on the server, particularly with [[Guide:How to link a Dogcraft account\|account linking]]. On the server it was represented in chat and on tab by the {{Rank\|Helper}} tag, which has the "Helper" text in light red, and the brackets and the player's name in aqua. Helpers were rotated on a regular basis.

	The role was announced on March 17th 2019. It was based on a suggestion from former moderator {{Player\|RTACubed}}, ~~after which~~ the HeadMods ~~developed~~ the ~~rank into what it is today~~. While the in-game tag ~~distinguishes~~ helpers from regular players, they ~~are~~ not part of the official [[Staff Members\|Dogcraft Staff]] team.		The role was announced on March 17th 2019. It was based on a suggestion from former moderator {{Player\|RTACubed}}, before being developed by the HeadMods into the official role. While the in-game tag distinguished helpers from regular players, they were not considered part of the official [[Staff Members\|Dogcraft Staff]] team. In December 2023, the role was discontinued due to changes to the server infrastructure; the new age verification and account linking system meant linking is now done before players login, rendering an in-game role limited in ability to help new players.

	==Purpose==		==Purpose==
	The purpose of ~~this~~ rank is to grant players who the staff have observed to be very helpful in the community the ability to help players with basic tasks. ~~The tasks include~~ helping new players to link, showing them around, helping them with commands and overall ~~provide~~ general information about the server. ~~Every month~~, three helpers (occasionally four) ~~are~~ selected by the HeadMods, usually on the first of the month, and otherwise a few days later if there~~'s any~~ delay. ~~It is important to note that this is~~ not a staff ~~rank~~, ~~it is~~ a ~~title. However,~~ some ~~helpers are selected by staff~~ to become Chat Moderators. The Head Moderators introduced this rank to take some of the workload off the [[Ranks#Mod\|moderators]], especially in busy times such as when [[ReNDoG\|ReNDoG]] ~~is streaming~~ on the server~~. If there are issues, people should contact the server staff team~~.

			Between March 2019 and December 2023, three helpers (occasionally four) were selected by the HeadMods, usually on the first of the month, and otherwise a few days later if there was a delay. Helper, though not a staff role, was often a pathway for some players to become Chat Moderators.

	==Selection ~~process~~==		==Selection Process==
	Helpers are proposed to the HeadMods by other members of the Staff team, who observe regular players to be especially helpful. Based on these suggestions, the HeadMods choose the 3 Helpers for the next month and contact them to ask if they're interested. Direct requests from players to become Helper do not influence the selection process and may have an adverse effect. To have a chance, one has to be a consistently helpful member of the Dogcraft community. Occasionally a second term can be granted to Helpers for various reasons.<br />		Helpers are proposed to the HeadMods by other members of the Staff team, who observe regular players to be especially helpful.
