Proposal
Change the requirements for the helper tag on discord
Justification
To prevent people from abusing the role that is supposed to be there for helping new players
Motivation
Keep people with bad intentions from abusing the helper tag
I noticed a new player sporting the helper tag on discord and realized with the influx of new players if everyone having access to that tag on the jump is worth having a look at?

I worry about the potential confusion, and harm to the perception of the server that can be made with someone giving misleading information while sporting the helper tag

Plus the role itself says "a role for veteran players"

Thought it was at least worth bringing up and was curious if anyone felt the same

Upvoted. Harm is already being done by members of the community abusing what is supposedly a role for, as mentioned, "veteran" players.

Allowing it to be gated behind time in the server, or a public vote, would go a long way to removing this capability to abuse it, and the trust of newer players.
