Some mentors...

[CazzT]

Some of us wear the Crown for its actual purpose: To help and mentor others. It's frustrating that so many only go for it to get an extra roulette (which i still haven't even unlocked for myself) and then give the rest of us a bad name.

Everyone has this idea that the mentor should be regulated. That's a pretty ridiculous assumption. First who decides what is right and what is wrong? Would you all be comfortable with -Me- deciding that? Oh of course not, you all have your own ideas.

SE would be the one to decide on this criteria. I thought this was pretty obvious. The description of the Mentor that's already in the game is pretty clear that it's intended for the purposes of guiding sprouts and being helpful and not being an ass. It wouldn't take much to expand on this and have an official set of rules/policies for Mentors to abide by. Why would you think the community is asking to be the judges of this when most people asking for regulations are asking this of SE?

But what God given right makes your ideas better than mine?

You don't have that right, your ideal mentor isn't better than mine.

Which is why it would be up to SE.

Next is the logistical standpoint. You now have people getting whiny because someone did a bad thing, maybe not even an actual thing, maybe they did everything they were supposed to and someone decided to be a dweeb and report them anyway. You all do make a ton of frivolous reports.

This is likely the biggest reason SE does not make an official set of rules for Mentor status. There's too many vengeful internet tough kiddies that would submit a report because a Mentor tried to help and they got offended about someone trying to help them. Among other asinine things.

Would I like to see something more official? Absolutely! I don't expect it, though, because SE isn't going to waste money to staff enough people to deal with the whiny brats who got their feefees hurt because a Mentor was legit trying to help and was being nice about it.
