insim suggestion Welcome message - THE WIZARD DK - Today 14:17

hi.
when a user joins tc for the first time they get the message:
User has joined [TC]for the first time, enjoy your stay!

to inform newcomers to read the rules that message could be:
User has joined [TC]for the first time.Please read the rules & enjoy your stay!



just small suggestion that could help alot to get people to actually go read the rules.

Reason:
"i see an increase in people who dont read them lately".
a message like that makes no excuse for not reading them as that would literally be the first message you get when entering TC .

Good idea, but you know it would be even better if the new player was FORCED to read the rules kind of like a "user agreement" page where they would have to click 'I accept' at the bottom of each page until all rules were covered. That way there would be no surprises from the newcomer such as "I didn't know I couldn't ram other players on the wrong side of the Autobahn while using profane slurs"

Also, a message on their screens with copy-able links to the manual so they know how the insim works would help too. I find myself always walking new guys through stuff such as bussing or jobs in general or even explaining to them how things work because this insim is a bit more complex than it was 5+ years ago before the introduction of jobs and mods.


User has joined [TC]for the last time. You failed to read the rules, good bye!

true. and most race servers have a insim screen that pops up when you join and you have to click it before it goes away so you are certain to read it whenever you log on.

if chuck wants to check that out i would suggest to go to MRC or AA servers using ario or lapper.

in that screen message could be any thing really. rules links etc.

there acould actually also be a buy your first car menu. as i also see many asking how to buy their first car. all that kind of info could be in a single pop up screen when you log in.

so yeah also good suggestion Jardim Smile

There already is one kinda

"User has joined [TC] Citydriving for the first time."


An additional line saying "Welcome, Please read our rules and We hope you enjoy your stay!" would actually be a nice welcoming touch.

i think these ideas are a good improvement can i just throw in a teir system though. like the whole ignoring sirens...............!!!!! deep breath gets to a lot of people. i think we should have 3 strikes first general warning like yellow card system, 2nd kick, 3rd maybe 24hour ban and reread of the rules as people continuously break these rules. new and old
