Is there currently a staff role, or even a non staff role, that's designed for people to purely help the community, with no permissions or powers, just a prefix to let people know that they are there, and willing to help. If there isn;t, I think there should be and here's why.
Now this post may seem negative, but it's not mean't to be, Potterworld has notoriously always had an amazing community, one that's friendly and accepting of all, but I've noticed since I have returned on the server, so many people are left hanging in the chat. A year ago, when I played before, questions were asked in the chat 24/7, and 9 times out of 10 they were answered, within seconds.. I was one of those people that used to dedicate a good few hours of my day each and every day escorting new players to where they needed to go, but nowadays it seems to happen so much more rarely.
Me and my friend always have a giggle at the fact that multiple times a day the chat box looks something like this;
New Player: Hey I have a question, can somebody please help me find the green houses?!
........tumbleweed........
Broadcast: Player123 has been sorted into the house of the brave!
Sr Prefect: Congrats!!
Jr Prefect: Congrats!!
Jr Prefect: Congrats!!
I feel like it's left to the community to spend hours of their day ensuring newer players are looked after, and it seems that as time has gone on, people are fed up of doing it.
Again, I mean no negativity by this post, I just think it's super important to keep newer players happy, and on the right path!
So I believe allowing experienced players to apply for some form of Helper role, where they at least get some sort of Prefix to showcase their efforts, would be a great idea!
