I want people to understand that even though the Helper rank doesn't have a lot of responsibilities it doesn't mean it's a rank you should just go ahead and apply for out of the blue.
It's a serious role and a way to expand the staff team, so it's important that if you apply that you're serious about wanting to help out and that you will be active.
