While giving Undernet helpers some sort of recognition is nice and deserved, it would also flood help committees with wannabies who will use their "badges" to abuse, intimidate, or flaunt their supposed leetness. With the exception of cservice and #zt, most other help venues are open committees where anyone who wants to help is welcomed. If all the helpers had special identification on Undernet then I would imagine we would have to screen applicants so see if they are suitable to wear their shinny new badges. I also think cservice helpers should only be allowed to have *@<username>.cservice.undernet.org while they are actually working, not every time they login. There's no need to flaunt leetness while chatting in a channel, is there? When these helpers aren't "working" are they more important or special then the user-com helper, the #zt helper or the channel op in #help, etc.?
