How is there STILL not a confirmation before throwing newbs into Novice Network?

[Canadane]

No, the expectation is that a novice may not have any idea how to chat, how to parse the idea of being invited to something, or know that they even may need help in the first place (this one is especially true).
While I've not been very invite-happy myself, helping people who are invited, even if it's to help them out of it (there's some irony there...) is still how it should work. We don't need people who do need help hitting No on their invites. Nor do we want to pester them with consistent invite prompts.

Are you serious? Why would "people who do need help" hit no if prompted to join a channel that offers help? Or are you implying that people who are too stupid to decide if they want to join a channel to offer help or not are the ones we should be creating systems around?

Considering the quality of players in general, sometimes you do have to question their rationale.
