Newbie Channel

[Bistek]

Yes, you heard it right.

 

The ones who played SAMP will remember in certain servers you had a channel which only newbies could see (or had it togged on, depending the server) and actually ask newbie questions, like, 'how to fish', 'how to park car' and such. In my point of view, this would reduce the income of those questions to /report, keeping it only for admin assistance. Once that player reaches 5k~6k of experience, the channel gets togged off automatically (same goes for existing players, obviously).

 

'/newbie' to speak on it

maybe '/tognewbie' to turn it on and off

Support staff in game handle those questions happily, leaving the mod related reports to the moderators and admins. 

[Bistek]

Ok so whenever you /report, support takes them? Thought only admins could see /report.
Nice!!!

 

You can close this, then.

Thank you for your time by answering to the thread.

I better support this /newbie than /report its faster and better for new guys !

Separating general questions from actual reports could be handy just to clean things up for for mods/admins.

[Randul]

It's a pretty clean system to be honest, supports will handle /report 1 as they are typically questions asked by new players or anyone really. 

The problem I see with separateing the channels is you make the system more complex for no real gain and you further the risk of misinformation being spread due to there is no vetting on who is answering those questions.

There have also been issues with players misusing channels like this to metagame, and yes it's easy to trace, but it does require monitoring, so in the end it creates more work than it eliminates.
