How is there STILL not a confirmation before throwing newbs into Novice Network?

"stuff"

Well, you ARE kind of a nub.

Couple quick notes:

1. New adventurer status controls more than just whether you are eligible to be in the novice network or how other players elect to mentally categorize you. It controls a 20% XP bonus when grouped with a mentor sub-20 (including level sync). It renders you eligible for free aetheryte pendulum teleports. Bullying people into removing the status to avoid being harassed is most definitely not the answer.

2. The novice network is subject to the same rules enforcement as any other chat channel. If there are trolls there, report them to GMs. Also note that kicking someone from the novice network doesn't magically do anything. You have to actually report them yourself. There's zero proactive follow-up on a kick.

No, the expectation is that a novice may not have any idea how to chat, how to parse the idea of being invited to something, or know that they even may need help in the first place (this one is especially true).
While I've not been very invite-happy myself, helping people who are invited, even if it's to help them out of it (there's some irony there...) is still how it should work. We don't need people who do need help hitting No on their invites. Nor do we want to pester them with consistent invite prompts.

Are you serious? Why would "people who do need help" hit no if prompted to join a channel that offers help? Or are you implying that people who are too stupid to decide if they want to join a channel to offer help or not are the ones we should be creating systems around?

Considering the quality of players in general, sometimes you do have to question their rationale.

I feel a wee bit offended that I have yet to be tossed into the novice network on any of my test characters.

Seriously.... I have a mule alt, I log her in for 2 mins max at a time to grab things from FC bank....

Why not just simply filter Novice Network on your chat log?? ^^;

We always told people to do this. They never did and asked for a new boot every day.

Always easier (and more fun) to complain about something than to find your own solution. Couple times a week and can't be bothered? What a weak excuse to not type a simple script.

Umm I think this person is saying they asked the mentors how to stop the chat or something along those lines and they were not helping?

I am thankful someone in town was able to help me figure out how to change my logs around since this novice network was not helping.

Also TamiSanri you may or may not know you can edit your post to bypass the 1000 character limit

No, when you are inserted in the novice net a pop-up or rather a tooltip appears explaining the purpose of it. You can leave right away if you type the / command nastatusoff. Simple. And you cannot be brought back in after that. It's ideal for, say, an alt used solely for banking purposes. To pull an example from the air.
