I removed mentor status today.

The mentors who were governing the channel when I was a sprout had some soft rules. No politics. No religion. No ERP. No advertising. No trolling. Warns and kicks were swift.


Since Sarg used to have a lot of hard content players often chat would be about optimizing the jobs and excitement over new content. I remember also a lot debates over the metagame also but it was friendly banter haha. As a new player I found it inspiring and I wanted to git gud. Mentors never used to kick mentors at all. It wasn't needed. Kickwars on Sarg is a relatively new development. People used to just be excellent to each other and I'm not sure why Sarg stayed classy for so long. I guess it was just the atmosphere the oldbies fostered. But those names are nowhere to be seen anymore except very few. (shoutout to True King. Classy player.)

Haha I don't care about the mount. Looks like a long grind. Not something I'm interested in. I just revoked my mentor crown at the smith. I used to think striving to be a classy, welcoming mentor could change the image of mentors but the downward spiral is too steep now I think. I'm out.

Good take on the matter. I found your post insightful.

That honestly sound hellish. I could see how easily mentors would abuse there self asserted power to kick or tight lip any conversation they didn't like despite it not being against tos whatsoever (show me where religion or politics in nn isn't allowed) the reality is human society is build upon religous and political conversation. Its futile to try to silence or suppress it. When it it turns into a fight deal with it then but censoring it on first mention will only make you look tyrannical and you will loose the respect and eventually even the battle. Just look at china)

I genuinely think you're idolizing a few interactions. Most ppl in the game ger bored talking about parsing and optimisation because content in this game is no longer challenging or enjoyable to parse high in. People trying to enforce nn to be that way are the ones making it worse because of an inflated wgo about mentor and nn in general

You can't set and example of how a person with a certain achievement should behave tbh. Because until gms enforce specific guidelines on mentors that aren't enforced to everyone it's literally pointless and even intrusive.
