I dont like how some administrators say 'we dont need it anymore' when we clearly do. With an exception of a few admins i have rarely seen a team i associated less with roleplaying then currently.
Divey brings up a few points that are valid but those arent dealbreakers for me. I find it very assumptive to say 'omg they just do it for the power'. We have a good server with a big playerbase, so what if there are players who want to invest a little more time in the server while helping others? Just because you would only do it for the rank, doesnt mean others have the exact same reason to become a teacher.
The argument that you dont need a rank to help others is valid, but i see it more then as a rank, its an endorsement from FL saying 'this guy knows what he is talking about and isnt trolling you'. Ill give you an example: there are players who, if a 0 hour player approaches them, offer them a 'once in a lifetime deal' of 1 pistol for the small price of 10K, and because its their lucky day theyll get some free pistol ammo with it as well. This borderline scam is just annoying to deal with and if you find out that your whole fortune has been spent on an overpriced pistol youll get dissapointed/distrustive of community members. I feel teachers, who have a visible rank of trust, can fight this kind of behaviour and showing new players around without them having to be afraid to be screwed over.
Hell, give teachers more powers! Ive seen servers where i could do '@ i am new to this server' and a teacher-like person TP's to them to show them around on the map, showing them the possibilities and rules, it was an amazing introduction to the server for me and ive played on that server almost as much as FL. It wasnt an issue on that server, i dont see why it should be on FL and i dont know why it has always to be such a power struggle here, its a Gmod server where, in the end, everyone is just here to have fun.
