My interactions and observations of Vode have been purely (to my knowledge) on Discord.
I feel like Vode's breath of knowledge and willingness to investigate mechanics and concepts would be a boon with MHelps. Always quick to respond and very thorough....
But I have to agree with Ines. I've had a couple interactions that rubbed me the wrong way, but I don't feel it was intentional. Regardless there is a level of restraint and softness that I feel mentors and admin should have that I feel Vode can get definitely get to, I just can't make that recommendation today.
The level of detail often seems more like what I assume would be in imspoilered. (Though I'm not in imspoilered and also the guy who is hesitant to add detail to the wiki because I wants people to experience discovery... so maybe its me.)

Tailor their responses to mentorhelp requests with the goal of maximizing the player's fun. Keep in mind it's easy to take this too far - if a player is asking about how to use the science teleporter, it would be great to mention that there's stuff out there they might want to bring friends for. Giving them a shopping list of what exactly they should bring to handle any threats would be too much, and ruin the 'joy' of 'discovery' that comes from getting eaten by yetis because they didn't think to bring a weapon.
Mentors are discouraged from doing the following:
Answering too far past the question - let players play and make their own mistakes and discoveries. Avoid 'backseat driving'.
