I lurk Adamantoise’s Novice Network, and 95% of what mentors talk about there is general, silly banter about the game, glamours, npcs, etc. Nothing too derogatory, nothing toxic, and nothing detrimental to sprouts. Whenever a sprout asks a question, you usually get 3 to 4 replies within a matter of seconds.

The reason behind this, IMO, is that it’s normally the same 5-10 mentors talking on our network. They’ve set the “standard” on the atmosphere, which is much more light hearted than most horror stories I see on the forums. So I guess my advice is: be the change you desire. Be consistent, be active, make friends and create a community. Eventually the minority could become the majority.
