Mentors

Overview

The Mentor position on Hack Forums is one of the most notable positions on the forum, with members moderating the different sections of the forum. They are given a special userbar and abilities which other members do not have. They are a separate group from Staff and Administrators, however most staff seem to be former Mentors.

All staff are honorary members of this group, as well as other members who remain helpful and steadfast on the website.
