How do i leave the novice network

[Syrehn]

Gilgamesh has a pretty functional novice network. Things rarely get hostile or unpleasant there. We do have a dearth of novices, though, since the server is so hard to join, but when novices do ask questions they get enthusiastic answers from dozens of Mentors, all at once. XD

Players do ask how to leave, though (generally folks with novice alts), and it's a bit frustrating how little control players have over their presence in the channel. Invite a Novice? They can't say no. Novice (or Mentor) wants to leave? Too bad, not unless you remove your Novice (or Mentor) status.

Whenever I'm in the NN on Gilgamesh I usually see more Mentor/Mentor convo's than legit Novice/Mentor convo's (not counting the sprout alt/mentor ones), including idle chit chat, party recruitment, hunt calls etc. Novice's that ask questions obviously do get pretty prompt answers but the majority of Mentors I know literally groan when they get zone shoved into the global chat as they're porting around.

We also seem to have a lot of bots but they never say anything so then we just get a flood of "xyz kicked for being a bot" spam as some Mentors try to clear them out; seems pointless since they come right back in 30 mins.

I've seen Mentors who don't like the Mentor/Mentor chatter or bot boot spam that happens in our NN get told by other dominant mentors in the channel to turn their crowns off because their taking up space when they express their desire for not wanting in the channel; which really isn't fair. Additionally I've seen many Mentors say they just filter NN.

There are things about the NN chat that just feel very broken.

SE really does need to add a "You have been invited to the NN chat - Do you want to join: Y/N" style popup. As well as an option to easily leave the channel for both Mentors/Sprouts without having to turn off crowns/sprout icons or ask to be kicked.
