On Novice Networks and Inappropriate Discourse

[strawberrycake]

Outside of my initial sarcasm I see no reason to do anything different, the current state of FF already discourages people from interacting baseline due to people being easily offended, or in many cases abusing the GM system and mass reporting players and said players being banned for 10 days or more.

That being said the NN hasn't been (at least from my experience) very helpful since the early says of FF, most sprouts dont use/ask very basic questions resolveable with a google search, it seems at times most do just google search the answers to their questions. If anything being talked about in the NN is actively offensive, report it, actively *too much* for the chat report it (and some people can be over sensitive to a joke or something that isnt that big of a deal but I digress)

And can we fix the NN, in another post someone said GMs should be more active, with the amount of people playing, supposedly 20 million, no GMs literally can't be more active. This is relevent because unless a GM is constantly monitoring the NN no, we can't make a chat where its always on topic, and always sprouts asking questions.

No MMO, no forum, no game, will ever have a system like that, that stays on topic, or maintains is primary function, unless its heavily monitored constantly. People will always just talk when bored, and ultimately from my attempts with trying to deal with it, many GMs will tell you to also just block people, they're not always gonne revoke a mentor or give someone a warning just because you dont like how the NN is being used.

If the GMs I've dealt with say just block people, then its not that big of a deal imo
