What is a Community Helper?
Community Helpers are regular AltspaceVR community members who volunteer their time to share information, teach others, and serve as ambassadors of our community. They are familiar with the various aspects of AltspaceVR — such as event-hosting or world-building — and they exemplify and uphold our Community Standards and Terms of Service. Although Community Helpers are not staff or admins of AltspaceVR, they are a great group of individuals who are committed to welcoming new people, teaching others about AltspaceVR's culture, and making AltspaceVR a welcoming place for all.
How do I find a Community Helper?
Community Helpers are everywhere in AltspaceVR. You can identify them by hovering over an avatar and looking at their name tag. Community Helpers’ name tags have a green outline and a green heart badge. Because they are volunteer ambassadors, Community Helpers can toggle their badge ON/OFF anytime, in order to be able to enjoy AltspaceVR as regular Altspacers too!
