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.

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'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.

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