Helpers are staff!

Why aren't Helpers in the Staff list

Kinda a question/suggestion

Helpers are technically staff, it's their job to help remove forum spam, so shouldn't they be in the staff list

similar to how the Administrator, Moderators, and Concerned Ape Have colored, names, maybe a darker blue? like Helpers

Just something I noticed
and technically, they are staff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But you're not not staff
and generally on most things, Helpers are considered staff

So helpers can do the same as staff, i. e. delete spam, warn, ban, move posts, ... but just are not in the list?

I saw, but I mentioned them so they would see the question so their profile doesn't get spammed

to quote Magic, "that being said tho i don't really want my profile to be used for extra inquiries that people feel aren't answered fast enough, this is just my profile "

Helpers just help spam clean (this is different from banning a member, they're listed as different actions) whenever we get hit with a wave of spammers; they're not tasked to do anything else and they report issues like everyone else does. Currently, we're not looking for more, but we are trying to control a current spam wave and just update all the filters and stuff

We didn't really want them to be that distinguishable from normal members since they're ultimately normal members, they can just wipe new spam if they see it, which is helpful for when any other staff member isn't around
