Novice Network Feedback for SE

This system... doesn't need regulation. Let's face it the ones who are mentoring it are only in it for the roulette. If you make it harder for me to do my roulette because the chat log of the people I actually want to talk to is being pushed up by a dude trying to trouble shoot a noobie in how to First Person view on PS4.... When I'm on mac and have no idea. It's fine as it is for what little it is, if you make it so it's actually a job to maintain, then you'll see a lot of people drop off.

What might be more helpful is to make sub channels like sub sections of housing. So this way if people are afk in one channel, swap channels and ask your question. Should help a lot more.

Isn't that a good thing tho? if the people are willing to maintain it, they really are trying to be mentors no?

my main issue most of these mentors are in the network /just/ for the mentor title, rewards and what not. them being afk is one thing, but there are also those that ARENT AFK, and just hide the chat because " its too noisy" when in actuality they just don;t want to deal with this thing that SE Created. They want all the rewards but not the actual work for which this network is put up.

In the long run, I'm more worried about what /n is going to become. Either a barren chat because most of these "mentors" have filtered/hide the chat completely and/or just going to continue their afk ways in it.

Perhaps they should make it an option for mentors to actually select to login to the Network. That way we have less "mentors" who get placed there randomly by default and end up either not contributing and taking up space or who use it as a casual chill global chat cause they can.

I definitely agree with you about this. If someone wants to be a mentor, they should be willing to earn and maintain it (although I have no idea at the moment how maintaining it would work). I for one want to be a mentor simply because I enjoy talking to and helping new players. Everything else is just a bonus.
