Idiot Friendlier Perhaps..

[tfmachad]

There already are two "index" threads of sorts that are pinned.
Mine has over 5000 views, and Majkp's has several thousand in the Welcome Forum.

Still, Xoria, we have to deal with the ignorance (no pejorative meaning whatsoever here) of new players on a daily basis. It wouldn't hurt to have some sort of less cumbersome interface for the really important content, as rules and your "tips for newcomers" thread.

In a time of infomercials, flash content and pop-up windows; thinking that people in general can be bothered to browse through tons of text content is hoping too much. It's like hading out complete encyclopedias at the entrance of a park and saying, "Here's what you need to know so you can play here"; as opposed to handing out folders with comprehensive enough information so people can avoid making blatant mistakes. People come and see all the rides inside and won't care about reading no book. But maybe they'll have time to check in the folder while they wait in line.

If we're really interested in including people rather than becoming a death trap of sanctions, we should be serious about considering this. In the end, we are party with the bigger interest in this. We, who play here everyday, will be the ones who will have to endure and deal with that ignorance.

EDIT: As a quick alternative to this. Could we at least include an automated e-mail and/or forum PM to the new registered people. (1) A link to your welcoming thread; (2) How each of the forums are used; (3) Where to find specific information; and so on...
