For Anyone Thinking of Applying
In the beginning when HS was created, it wasnt meant to have this stuff as our "job" doesnt require it.
A prefix symbol would be fine I'd say for in game recognition. A ! or a ? would be suitable I'd say. Though I don't know if any of those are taken yet for other departments.
Regardless, I don't agree with your 2nd point. Yeah, it's nice and all to have a badge, but if it's just encouragement to get them to apply, then what's the point of them joining? If they want to help out, then that should be enough, not telling them about a gray name or a badge in game. It doesn't seem like they'd be after the position to do its job, but just to stand out as Help Squad.
A gray name for the forum is fine, as always. But I wouldn't use it to get people to join.
I'm sure they'd do the job, but for what cost? Just so they have a badge? Jeez.
