So, as a Helper, it's our job to help newbies on the server. However, finding them is not always simple. Sometimes, they're in an easy place to find, such as somewhere in Diagon, but other times also they're in weird places like the Knight Bus(I ended up wandering London for 10 minutes, unable to find Diagon as a newbie xD). As such, I think it would be beneficial for Helpers to have ,/tpa.

But Andrew! That's a Mod perk!!
This is true, but if you think about it, how often does a Mod need to teleport to someone? While this wouldn't be essential for Helpers, when there's 5 newbies and 3 Helpers, we don't need wasted time trying to find our newbies when we're rushing to help everyone.

Meh you're probably just trying to get an extra perk for Helper so you have it.
Actually, I'm not. I have no need for tpa outside of helping newbies as I literally can just ask for them to turn their /sidealong and go to them. The issue is that this can be confusing for a newbie, and the last thing we need is random people trying to Apparate to the newbie if their /sidealong is on. Not to mention not many Helpers can Apparate anyway.

But what if this gets abused?
Then punish them like you would anyone who abuses it? Helpers are supposed to be trustworthy and mature, yes? I imagine a role model like a Helper would not abuse perms any more than other Staff members would.

So to conclude, I think this would be very helpful for Helpers, and though it's not necessary, I believe it will make our job just a little bit easier and I hope it gets added! :)

No.  Helpers aren't staff.  Tell them to /spawn

The thing is if they listen to the TPA they likely will listen to you telling them to go to spawn as well. As well if they are far away you need them to go to spawn anyways.

I do like this idea, though I understand if it isn't accepted. I personally tend to have lots of trouble with finding new people when I'm trying to help them, and sometimes it can be overwhelming for them. I do think it would make life a lot easier, but like I said, I do understand if it isn't accepted.

I know we have agreed on not giving /tpa to Helpers, but I was just wondering since I just thought of this:

 

Is there any possible way that we can give /tpa to Helpers but make it so that they are only able to use for members in the Unsorted group? Like make the permissions so that Helpers are unable to teleport to already sorted players to avoid the risk of perm abuse?

I do honestly think this is a good idea. I do. but don't they have to accept your tp request? they are just as likely to accept that as to do /spawn if you tell them..
