Apple Discussions Helper Program

Apple® Computer, Inc. ended their Discussions Helper program on 16 December 2003 in favor of a system awarding levels, with increasing privileges on the Discussions, based on members' contributions to the Discussions community. A complete description of the new program can be found in the Discussions Help. Most former Helpers are now Level 4 contributors to the Discussions.

The original definition of a Helper was part of Discussions Help, specifically in this link. As the definition may be removed at some future time, the following screen shot captures Apple's original definition of a Helper.
