Novice Network needs to be reworked

But if novices aren't asking for help then that would mean the Novice Network is actually fulfilling its intended role.

As Novice Network currently stands, it's just a boys club of individuals who cater their chat to the people who only agree with them.

That varies from world to world. I think the biggest problem is that different players have different ideas of what SE allows within NN chat. I've seen arguments over whether location flags are spoilers and so shouldn't be allowed to whether or not someone can offer to invite novices to their FC via NN chat.

But if novices aren't asking for help then that would mean the Novice Network is actually fulfilling its intended role.

Or that it's failed so badly to fulfill the intended role that most give up trying. I have caught many occasions were sprouts were ignored as mentors argued over something not even game related. Try to answer the sprout question and it can quickly get buried in other discussions going on. It's a bit frustrating to have to send a tell to help someone out when you know their question is one that some of the other novices likely have and would benefit from learning the answer.
