I've seen evidence that these questions shouldn't be answered by people with fewer than 1500 commendations. Trade mentors do not usually have 1500 commendations and in my experience, a lot of them don't know the answers to a lot of battle questions themselves so what they do is quote The Balance or what they googled. This results in them giving level 90 optimized rotation advice to a sprout wanting help with their Sastasha rotation. Someone with a large amount of experience of the game does not need to consult The Balance and Google for their answers all the time.

I imagine that most people are like me and are in NN just to actually have some interaction with people. More chat channels like that would go a lllooooonnnngggggg way and possibly even get rid of the need for NN if it's done right; For example, job-based chat channels, DoH/DoL chat channels.
I agree that it's a great channel for being social. I don't personally want a global chat because that would be chaotic, but ones with the a limited capacity like the novice network and a specific theme like job-based chats would be good. Linkshells only have 1/5th the capacity and it counts people who are offline.
