It's a cute idea and all, but as already suggested it's not a good solution for anything.
What a "reporter staff" would be, is just like any other user, they would be able to take actions like any other, and help like any other. The difference is that they would be enlisted as a "false" staff. In my case this honestly sound more about a matter being on some sort of staff list and being able to receive more recognition than it is about actually helping with reporting and finding rulebreakers, and simply because of that, it isn't a good idea at the time.
Some of the posters must realize that "Wanting more staff/mods" in this matter is not equal to having "Reporter staff/mods". What we eventually would get is a staff/mod title that cannot do much more than a user could help with, and could live under the false impression that they actually could, if you want to help, it's just to be your own staff reporter as mentioned and we will be thankful.
Now to add on what has been mentioned, this game is not getting that much bigger user count wise inside of the game, nor is it getting that much worse than it has been. During the time I have been here and spent both time on the site and game, I do not find it getting worse, only better, and the online user count is roughly about the same for the time being with some peaks once in a while, but nothing that has been there before. I do feel good confidence in the staff team, and I know that it's not handling matters any worse at all than how things used to or could be handled a few years ago.
Could we use more mods?
Yes
Are you aware?
Very much so.
Are you trying to make a more effective staff?
Every single day.
A good and trustworthy staff that can do work, feel well, get along, in feralheart, is something that takes time and energy to achieve, it has been a long road already, and most likely a longer road to come, whether it's from Raz, I myself, or the rest of the staff.
So I gotta say no, this idea is not what we are looking for, input never hurts though but this is really how it is.
