Mentor Requirements

[Krotoan]

You can't hold Mentors to higher standards than everyone else, because they're just players like everyone else.
You don't sign a contract to become a Mentor, it's just part of the game, that they're playing the same as you.
And if you did, then you're just policing personality at that point. "It's not technically against the rules so doesn't warrant a suspension, but you did seem a bit of a dick to me so no more Mentor for you." Yeah I don't think so.

Mentoring should have a higher standard because people volunteer for it, you don't "earn" it. You are agreeing to being a guide and coach and a teaching position requires patience and understanding most gamers don't have. If you are proven not to have it, you don't need to be a mentor.

What does this mean?


This seems like it would be wide open to abuse.
Don't like someone who is a mentor? Report them for 'being a bit of a dick' to remove their Mentor crown.

This is why I also said it should be reviewed just like a normal report. It shouldn't just be "tick tick tick too many reports you lose mentor". Enough people report you for bad mentoring someone takes a look at the logs and makes a call.

How do you prove that exactly?

This is a game. Mentors are players, they are not SE staff.

As mentioned in my post , hence the edit, by review. GMs will have standards to follow.
