TLDR:

• ASSIGN HUMANOID ROLE TO NEWBIES
• CHAT W/ NEWBIES
• REPORT ON NEWBIES (GOOD & BAD)

What the Newbies see!

Newbies Are Precious!

Newbies are our next generation. They arn't lower than us. Their opinions and thoughts are very valuable! A stranger is just a future friend, and we should treat them as such! Often times they can give us a fresh perspective on something that is inefficient or poorly worded.

Step 1: Get 'em in! When a Newbie joins, they are isolated from the rest of the server. (See image to the right) They can only see the guest zone, tickets, and a few other channels. To get let in, they need the humanoid role. They can get that from you! Here This is to prevent scammers, bots, and potential malicious people from having instant access to the server.

We have a few bots set up to protect the server. For example, if someone join and tries to tag @everyone, a bot will automatically ban them! Neat! This is also to prevent short-tempered people who may use our server for malicious activities. You'd be surprised how lazy most mean people can be! Double Whammy!

Greet That Newbie!

Step 2: Welcome 'em in! The next thing we should do is welcome them in! Often times a person will join a server, spend 30 seconds looking around, and then throw it in a folder somewhere, never to return. It's important to jump on them ASAP with an experience to keep them coming back! Feel free to make your own "script" or change it up every time! A sample of what Mondo will usually say is at the right under "Greet That Newbie!"! Don't be afraid to be a little unhinged or chaotic. It's a good litmus test to keep the normies out, LOL!

Step 3: Chat it up! If you're available, chat with the newbie. Try to get to know them, and if they have similar interests to someone else, tag them and maybe we can pair a few people together to make a friend! For example, if someone likes League of Legends, tag @Zac. If someone likes Warhammer, tag @MysticFlare. If someone likes Factorio, Tag @MondoCat. Make sure to tag relevant channels that they may like, like #🍍⟝foodcraft for people who like to cook, #🔌⟝nerdvana for those that like Linux, etc!

Step 4: Report on the newbies. In #💼⟝❛mergency-meeting (This is modchat), post your findings! Was someone acting BAD weird, suspicious, insensitive, or something we should keep an eye on for potential future bad behaviors? Let the others know! We can add them to the #📡⟝sussy-bakas list so we can keep tabs on who may need extra help fitting in. (Mondo has to add them!)

NOTE: Report on the GOOD newbies too, not just the bad ones! If someone is helping others out, might be interested in hosting an event, or might be a good candidate for a mod, talk about it too!

How2: Let Newbies In

Newbie Short Form

When a newbie joins, they cannot see any normal channels until they get the humanoid role. If they go to #2-ᵍᵘᵉˢᵗ-ˢʰᵒʳᵗᶠᵒʳᵐ•ᵖᵈᶠ and grab the short form, fill it out, and post it in #3-ᵍᵘᵉˢᵗ-ᵘⁿᵗⁱᵗˡᵉᵈ•ᵗˣᵗ, they will need approved to join the server. If they filled out the short form correctly, the bot will let them in. (Thanks to Clamor for programming YAG to do this for us!) If they don't, then they will need to manually be let in. That's where you come in!

Cat Screaming in #🍄⟝everything

In #🍄⟝everything, it will announce when a newbie has joined but hasn't filled out the survey yet. See: This is your cue to jump to #3-ᵍᵘᵉˢᵗ-ᵘⁿᵗⁱᵗˡᵉᵈ•ᵗˣᵗ and tag them, asking them to fill out the short form in #2-ᵍᵘᵉˢᵗ-ˢʰᵒʳᵗᶠᵒʳᵐ•ᵖᵈᶠ. (A quick way of typing the channel name is to type something like "Hi, @name, can you fill out #2- (hit enter) for us". Typing "#2-" and then hitting enter should autocomplete the channel name.)

If they are over 18, please "right click them > Roles > Humanoid". A bot will give them the rest of the roles they need, they will get access to the server, and then the cat will scream their name in #🍄⟝everything. (Thanks to Confused for this bot!) We are an 18+ server, so please do not let anyone in that is under 18. No exceptions. Even if their birthday is in 2 weeks. They can wait 2 weeks.
