New Players/ Cop Rules

Grubbsy

I have been trying to help some new players out on the server and some new players, mass rdm not knowing about the jail time they can get.
So would it be favoritism to free/ not VIP new players if they don't know about the rules?
A player yesterday got jailed because of mass rdm and they quit the server cause they didn't know the rules/ how it worked out.
So, this has me torn on what to do because I have wanted more new players to play the server to give it more population.

doesnt anyone read the rules? I think its all over the place

Apparently, new players skip the rules, but anyway, my point/ question was
If a new player skips reading the rules and they mass rdm can you let them free on a warning and also tell them the rules when they're in jail.
Because when they are put in jail they often rage quit or get out and rdm some more get jailed and the process repeats. I can say in the past 2 days we lost about 5 new players cause they got put in jail and rage quit.

Yes, have jailed a few new players and have discussed to them that i've let them out as many times as possible and told them about what happens when yo get a bounty and when an officer jails you that when an officer jails you that it is their diecision if they let you out or not. But i've warned them about this as many times as i can remember so when they get bounty jailed i told them i warned them. We had this same case yesterday with about 3 new players. I would love for the rules to be enforced more. ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

Here is an idea.. Maybe the developers can put the very basic rules on the jail cell walls that would state what rules would normally put them in jail.
It'll give them time to read and understand.

Hey, thank you for that idea. Some might ragequit quickly, so we must provide something very attention-drawing so they can see before they leave. Additionally, rather than putting the text in floating spots on the map, I think displaying text on the screen when they're jailed might help too. We can try the text on cell walls first, though.

Genius Idea
I had an idea similar but if it's in spawn they run past it like nothing is there.

Great idea Myback an ROG. I think this would help new players a lot because i've given some prisoners the rule link and they most of the time ignore it and keep begging to get out.
