Mentor moderation Suggestion

[DrWho2010]

the devs aren't going to turn to a third party program like discord for anything lol

plus they probably don't pay their CM's to go thru player logs. they're too busy doing other things, since they don't even show up here all that much.

Oh you'd be surprised. It's way more common than you might think. Even if it's NOT an official community, a lot of CMS will work alongside major fan community hubs for various events and activities. You just won't see it because it will stay between the Moderation team and one or two CM's typically. Leaving these communities to the players and just working with them occasionally is basically Free Labor for the CM teams. It also requires almost no dev oversight if you get the right leadership.

As for digging through logs, thatd be a one off activity, only needed for the initial setup. If that gets setup, it'd basically make the entire system on auto pilot for the cms. In fact they'd probably be able to free up some of their human resources elsewhere since they'd have the players moderating themselves.

Mind, Discord is just an example gathering spot. Plenty of ways to skin that cat. I just say discord since practically everyone uses it.

Stop trying to elevate the status of mentors.
They're simply experienced players who may be faster at google searching an answer than someone new to the game.

Well there's some hostility out of nowhere for no good reason. Regardless of what you think, Any new player to the game who joins the sprout channel is going to have their first experience with the community with a mentor. This will set their expectations for the game going forward for better or worse. Since mentor is a system in the game, why not make a suggestion to improve it?

Mentors in this game are in essence the same as my position in my discord. Just another player who wants to help someone, but due to having that particular title, the public perception becomes altered and elevated by human nature. I'm not elevating mentors, I'm just making a suggestion that could help spin em into a more positive track for sprouts overall.
