The problem with the mentor system

[RajNish]

But the icon's purpose is primarily so that a new player can spot someone and know that they should be open to be asked questions.

People farm recommendations not to help others, but to have a shining icon. The system does not work as originally intended. Both sides suffer from this. But of course, many continue to deny the need for change.

Moreover, the aggression with which some opponents of change often respond to me shows their toxicity quite clearly and only confirms my words.
