Hi Kuby101,

Helpers are usually recruited for the IVT according to what foreign languages Wikia needs covered. There is a lot you can do to help keep wikis free from spam without global powers; such positions can't generally be applied for, but suitable users with a history of reverting vandalism are selected for the VSTF when new members are needed. Only Staff may promote Helpers, but with helpership comes much more than access to anti-spam tools, and it's not a mere "key" awarded to helpful contributors -- there are numerous exemplary users working for the good of multiple communities across Wikia, all of whose efforts are appreciated equally.

Best of luck with your wiki, and happy continued editing!
