make HoS non exclusive to mentors

[Frank_Stein]

I don't understand the objection "It'd make people lose respect for the HoS"

Can anyone explain why respect for HoS's is important?

I think, what people are getting at, is that because it's a job that you have to apply for there's a certain degree of trust in the person since more people cared enough to approve them rather than reject them. Which hopefully means that a player in the HoS role won't abuse their position or the unspoken authority they command.

I don't necessarily agree with that position, but I do think it has merit. That said, mentors have a degree of trust placed in them as well, so I'm not against lowering the restrictions either.
