Well, getting back to the original post, I think that both sides acted in a slightly disagreeable manner. The player was rather impatient and rude but the immortals seemed less than helpful. But that aside, I think it brings to light another issue.

If the newbie channel is for not for mortal-to-mortal communication, why allow posts/responses to be seen by all? Wouldn't a petitioning system work just as well and eliminate the global channel?

I for one don't like global channels on a RP MUD. The above situation seems to me like proof of how they can be misinterpreted by new players and how they can contribute unnecessary ooc talk in a MUD.

Again, that's my opinion, for whatever it's worth.

Take care,

Jason
