Thanks, it means alot, I plan on it.
On topic, another problem is that I feel like new players are
A.Being influenced by bad seeds.
B. Are being turned away by bad seeds.
Several minutes ago, I was in a lobby with a first time player. He mentioned it being his first time playing, and was immediatly bombarded by people telling him what to vote or to skip, and not helping him. He asked several times how to join a game, but was answered by people saying "HeHE N00B Doesn't evEN know How SG works.". I helped him out, explained the games and gave him some tips, to the praise of several other newer players, who told me that no-one would help them when they first joined.
Point is, to have a better community we need to bring up the new players well. Help them, be a good sport and follow the rules, and unless they're an intentional troll, they'll follow along. Back when I really got into survival servers, I didn't base playing on the server by quality of build or quality of plugins, I based it on quality of player. The reason I've stuck with MCSG for so long is because of everyone on the forums. You're all great, and I hope you realize that. Out of the 200 or so that really visit the forums daily, your the heart of the community.
Remember, people will decide how to act on the server based on how others act. So if you all get out there and help a new player, or act kindly, you'll truly be affecting the future of the community. The community is not based on the how many bad players there are, it's based on how many care and how many are nice. So improve our community by setting a new player on the good path (not the bad path, the circle one (looper reference! (lol))) and improve our community further!
