But it's about the attitude. Pashka thought it was the only channel available for what was considered a valid comment; nobody explained whether this was true or false. The 'immortal' (who obviously didn't want to be accountable, always a bad sign) wasn't exactly very friendly in advising about the nature of communication. In fact they almost went so far as to censor any kind of discussion. Maybe that was the wrong channel for such a debate, but I didn't see anyone explaining where the correct channel was, if one even exists. Saying "don't do that; look at this help file, it tells you not to do it" is not helping a newbie, it's community policing. Overall it just seemed like an overly taciturn and unfriendly way of dealing with new players, and the phrase "that's not real conducive to true newbies" looks very true.
