What does everyone feel about the the teacher rank?

We had some absolutely great Teachers, but I think it's shown us which ones have continued to perform without the rank and genuinely help out and the ones that have faded out more since the rank was removed. We don't NEED a rank like Rickets said, we should be helping regardless for a community that we enjoy and are heavily involved in.

But I believe the teacher rank was not just about helping players, it was about promoting roleplay as well. Willem pointed it out excellently in my opinion, I think it's a big shame that the teacher rank is gone. It was already hard to get a RPP but now it's nearly impossible, most admins don't bother looking for good roleplays. I even go as far as believing that since the teacher rank has been removed, I think the server has become more mingy and less people are roleplaying (this has been my experience on FL since it has been removed).
I think we should look into the possiblity of bringing back a rank that promotes roleplay.

I'd say it promoted more superficial roleplay than actually roleplay; a roleplay for self gain interests such as roleplaying just for RPPs.

Do you have any idea how many times I witnessed people participating in a roleplay of more than 5 people for less than 30 minutes and got an RPP just for something small like "/me cleans" while carrying a rag? just because you do /me or /it for more than 5 minutes doesn't mean you deserve an RPP, there has to be more depth into the RP such as roleplaying facial expressions or having an IC conversation while performing a task, it has to be something like a normal human being would do, not just being completely silent and just walking around with a rag and do some "/me cleans" every 2 minutes or so.

I thought roleplaying for RPP won't get you an RPP and therefore don't deserve for one, I guess times has changed.
