How to fix minges. (Stauta Supports.)

Good job deleting my post.

Who in the right mind would connect to a server that forced you to watch 5 - 10 minutes of a video before playing? It's only a minority of people who join and have absolutely no idea what this is all about. A lot of new people would just get it within a small time frame. However, new people joining this kind of server is very rarely a majority; it only seems like it because you encounter them more frequently.

Point is, if I were forced to watch a video upon joining a server, I would just disconnect and never come back. I'm sure I speak for the majority when I say this.

Have you SEEN the minges at about 8:00PM! They clusterfuck a CP all day! It is worth a shot. Why do minges become minges? They don't know what to do or they just like getting banned. Either way this takes care of a good ammount of trolling for the people that do not know what to do. And I think, "HL2RP in 5 minutes." Is perfect.

I usually go on the server at 8 PM EST, and I don't really encounter them myself much. That's not my point though. The thing is, you're making generalizations and categorizing new people with minges. What is a mingebag, you ask? They're people who take pleasure in ruining and hindering the fun of others around. What is a new person, you ask? It's self explanatory - they're people who have never connected to a similar server like this, and have no clue what to do. Yes, many minges do happen to be new people, but that's a different story.

As you said, of course new people won't have a slight clue on what to do; well, my friend, that's where an admin comes in. It's called teaching and observational learning. Job done, and sooner or later, they'll start becoming familiar with the concept.

Don't make a majority suffer because of a minority.

I didn't support this to be forced. I meant this to be optional with like a skip button. That way players who already know what to do don't have to watch it.

I'm not really sure about this idea, it has it's pros and cons. And Stat, if there was a skip button a new player or minge would just most likely skip it.

Mingebags don't want to learn, just to be a mingebag. Therefore they shall be banned.

If a new player doesn't want to learn, then it sucks for them, and they shall eventually be banned for ignorance.

Do not just copy a post without adding to it.

Warnings issued to all who did that.

Why not take this and have it in game somewhere?

[chunkeymonkey79]

Yes, like the book idea where you spawn with an OOC book.

Could have this as an automated message for first time players.

Or just take the time to teach new people. Nothing needs to be over complicated.

Again, the creepy asian...but yeah, that could work.

Yeah. Come administrate for a week and let me know what you think.

Not trying to sound obnoxious or anything, but I have admin'd at a community which used to have 20 - 30 people per day. It was a pain sometimes because we used to get waves of new people joining all the times, but all we did was teach, and if they refused to learn, then kick/ban. Yes, it was very tough and annoying at times, but the result in the long run is great; at least 90% of the new people that joined the server would be further interested and leave knowing the rules and street laws. Just to answer you, this went on much much longer than a week. There ya go.

The solution doesn't have to be so complicated, it's just simple, and that's all there is to it.
