Of course everyone is agreeing with Intelli. He's the one that most likely made it, so of course he wants it as-is, anyways. I see this argument going in one way: Intelli's way or the highway.

New building. Forced Tutorial Mode: You read the sings, then walk down paths to get out of spawn. You have to answer questions about the server rules to survive out of spawn. How do we do this? Simple. Two paths/one question per floor - one path is right, the other is wrong - you drop down the hole with the right answer. the wrong answer leads to a lava pit This'll force new players to read the rules. Multiple other servers I have played on have all been like this.

Simply move the exit from the fence to the left. People then walk past all signs like the original spawn.
^ Is that a hard fix? Not really.

Also have people spawn facing towards the signs.

Everything else, the building, keep as-is like Intelli is saying.

That would mean having the exit turned 90 degrees, intelli wont like it

Pacman, I know exactly what you're talking about with a tutorial like that. Although it forces players to learn something, it's also incredibly lengthy. With my experiences of a walk through tutorial, I'd stay away from them altogether.

One problem I see for new players logging in with some sort of flying mod. They log in and dont see rules at their back and take off in flight. Then BANHAMMER!
"Help Bot: MRmandudeguy23 I have banned you for flying."

LM:
I'm curious as to why you feel this way?

This is an idea I had also in the suggestions thread..in fact I like the idea of brand new players not even being able to chat until they complete this. I envision something silly and informative at the same time, making it as fun as possible while making a point that the rules matter here. I don't necessarily think they need to fall in lava, but a dead end for a wrong answer forcing them to backtrack to the right one.

Also it would only be for brand new players (they would be considered brand new until they successfully completed this even if they log out before completion), though perhaps also having it be for the first time after an unban would be good too.

I have an altered tutorial idea: The server knows when a player logs in for the first time right? so Intelli could code a screen that shows up before they actually "spawn" with all the rules and a series of questions which they have to answer in order to spawn.... not sure if that makes sense so i'll type out the screen how i see it in my mind.

Thats my idea, of course more than three questions would be wise, and this can be edited and honed if something like this is thought to be appropriate
It takes care of the whole walking past the signs thing, though i would keep the signs too so people can check the rules if they can't remember if something is against the rules.

Edit: spotted a typo

[Wxclm]

eh none of the questions need to be answered, but the first section of your message king, where it displays all the rules would be useful as people can't argue the point that they missed the signs/rules as every person automatically has them projected to them.

Plant big trees instead of small. I really like it
