People say they dont like this, yet they complain about newbies not reading the rules, leading to more bans.

Simple nub filter^

In theory, this should work, in a society where there order and logic is (more) present and everyone follows the rules. In theory, if this were true, this would not even be needed.

In practice, I don't see it working that well.

There's always the option of being a server that makes you find a command in the rules or have a quiz at the end to leave. But no, although this is a good idea, I don't see it working well.

What I think is, is that if a new player can't read the signs and ban them self, then they obviously wouldn't last long even if they had read the signs so there's no point in forcing them to read them. It's like natural selection, the smartest survive and make minerealm a better place and the stupid ones get banned. Out of the hundreds of new people that have logged in in the past few month, I would say about 10 of them would have stayed for over a week.

i know its already Rejected, but i dont think that the idea is bad.
Maybe we just need to optimise it.

If we are able to filter some noobs we would relief our poor chat and staff members, which are always confronted with questions and inapropriate language.

After Reading all the posts i got something in mind.
How about a little platou/tower where you can see the spawn buildings, but you cant leave the place until you typed "/spawn". you will never ever be able to return to that place.
On this Platou/tower there are stairs leading inside it, and you will find all the rules there.


Maybe we could also implement a little quiz or else at the before we tell them that /spawn lead them out of that place.
Something like, the red door is the right one, and you see 4 doors marked with red, yellow, blue and green wool.
Behind the red door, there the last signs, with the warp commands, and a "good luck"^^
Behind the other doors, there is maybe a teleport to the top of the Platou/tower or cause death or auto kick that player, or whatever, idk

And add something i saw on other servers, "chat areas" or something like that. if you at or in that tower/platou you have your own puplic chat only for this area and nobody else can hear you (except maybe staff members), so the normal puplic chat is save from the newby inapropriate language and spam and else. so they have to read the signs before we are able to hear them.

and at /spawn you see some last signs, with something like "forgot the rules? Just follow the red carped to reread them" or else.



Thats my suggestion for this Idea, i dont just want to turn the Idea down, only because i dont like the specific Suggestion.
Its clear that a lot people are annoyed by all the new players who arent able to read the rules.
And most people dont like to make the spawn "Ugly" like you spawn in a box.

If we were to add a new spawn room for noobs, people might think of it as the Terms and Conditions, and just skip to the end saying that they read the signs. I would rather have a system where you spawn in a room, and after 5 or so minutes are able to teleport out, so they have a chance to read the signs rather then wander around aimlessly. The problem with that is, they could just go afk for 5 minutes, or they could just leave the server.
