I've seen on some other servers that they have a tutor rank, the tutor is the first run on the staff member ladder and are responsible for helping member/guests with any questions they have whether that's about towny commands or just questions about the server, they also have access to mute and kick commands so they can intervene if someone is breaking the chat rules and there isn't a mod online, its a good way for admins to see whether some one is a good candidate to be a moderator or admin.
any comments welcome  :D

Tutor = Moderator... I don't see why we gone add another rank, that will do the exact same as a moderator, just with a different rank.

The whole point of Moderator is to help people out when they need your help, so this rank would be extremely pointless.

the point of a mod is to to help admins out with staff building projects and enforce the rules of the server a tutor is there to 1. help members 2. keep chat rules enforced. and its a good way for admins to see if someone is capabale of becoming a mod/admin

No... a moderator is their to moderate the server, being sure people follow the rules, helping others if they need it.

A mod is not a person to help out a Admin, where did you get that from? They can help out, but that is not in any way their main job.

Also you stated that a tutor would:
- Help members
- Keep chat rules enforced

This is EXACTLY what the moderator does, again, this rank would be pointless, and will probably never be implemented, because as I already said, it is extremely pointless.

A moderator is someone who helps with anything but, a tutor can be a member like I help with lots of people  :) .

so having a group of people dedicated to giving people advise when needed and answering questions is pointless ok! it works very well on other servers and helps guests settle in and feel welcome knowing there is someone there to help!

You really don't understand do you?

On this server, what a Tutor does is done by the Moderators, Moderators do most of the helping out players side, and the Admins make sure everything runs smoothly, You might have been on a server where this "Tutor" rank was a thing, but it will surely never be a thing on Noobscraft, if a guest need help he/she can ask a normal Member, he/she would probably get the same or even better answer's.

And also, I never said helping members is pointless, I said your rank idea is pointless, cause it does the exact same as a moderator does, just with a different rank, and a different colored name, so again... This. Would. Be. POINTLESS.

This is a good idea but i don't see why we would need a rank just to help guests and other players, Personally if someone asks me a question i always try to help them.

There are plenty of players who already help out people and answer questions in chat, without the need for a special rank like this. I don't feel a special "Tutor" rank would add anything to the server.

This is what I been trying to say, we already got Moderators that deal with the major stuff, and if a guest needs any help with anything less major it will most likely go to a member for help, the tutor would just be a normal member with a fancy rank and a colored name, it wouldn't even have any commands or anything probably.

So again, slightly pointless in my eyes.

I think this is a good idea.  If a player wishes to step up and try to help new players learn the server or general commands associated with noobstown, then by all means, please feel free to do so.  As far as enforcing the rules, Moderators are enlisted to do that, but if you wish to help answer general questions or concerns that a player may have, by all means, go for it!  There's no need to have a special rank or colored name to be friendly, helpful, and polite.  (Besides, how else do you think we look to find new staff members :) )
