I remember being really happy when I earned my Mentor role, because I genuinely love helping people. But walking into the Novice Network was like:



It was just a nasty, mean, toxic place, full of Mentors abusing their power. I tried for a few days on the off-chance that it was a fluke, but it wasn't. I left and haven't been back since. Turned off my crown too, because I don't want to be associated with that kind of toxicity.

The main issue with the current Mentor system is that it only vets Mentors to ensure they've done enough content, but there's nothing that vets their ability to be compassionate, decent people, nor is there any accountability. And until that gets changed, Novice Network will remain what it is; that's what happens when you arbitrarily give players power over other players.
