Welcome to the NAA! All newbies get help here! (Please read first post)

I AM NOT THE LEADER OF THE NAA ANY LONGER! DO NOT PM ME ABOUT JOINING! IF YOU READ THIS YOU SHOULD READ THE RULES AND YOU MUST POST A "RESUME" OR YOU WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. NOR WILL YOU BE FORWARDED TO MEILIN IF YOU PM ME!


Now I've noticed that there are a lot of newbies joining this forum lately. Since this forum is thriving so well and some newbs don't know what to do when they first join, I suggest a Newb Adoption Agency. Below I will post what you do to sign up as a trainer for the newbies and what the newbies do to get a trainer. Also I'd like to thank Aragorn for helping me with the summary layout and the rules on this that I will be updating in a couple weeks, depending on how this flows like this. I am sorry for all of the changes and those trainers who have lost their trainership for a while, we're just trying to be sure we don't have any newbies training the newbies.

__________________________________________________ _______________

How a Newb Gets Their Trainer

You must post in this thread saying that you wish to be adopted. If you know someone here well and you want them to train you, you may post someone's username and I shall PM them to let them know they've been chosen by you. If any newb has a problem with their trainer, such as they are never online when you are, I will assign you a new one. There will be a summary by you and your trainer every 2 weeks, here is the layout for you:

Did you feel that you understood what you were told?
Was your trainer there to help you?
What questions do you want answered?(leave blank if none)

__________________________________________________ _______________

A Word to the Trainers

It was drawn to my attention in the N.A.A.'s opening months that a newb trainer has caused the leaving of one member... THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! THIS BRINGS A NEGATIVE INFLUENCE TO THE NEWBS AND ANY OTHER MEMBER! IF I FIND ANY OTHER TRAINERS DOING THIS I WILL BAN THEM FROM TRAINER STATUS! Shugy Bear has been suspended since this is the first time this has ever happened... but i will not be so leniant the next time this happens, if it does i will ban the trainer who did it AND Shugy Bear. That will prove that Shugy has set a negative influence and will not be trusted with trainership anymore.

You must check this thread frequently if you wish to get another newbie to train. Please make friends with your newbs guys! We don't want any fighting going on between the trainers and their newbs! No trainer will be given seven or above newbies. I will allow up to six depending on the amount of time that member is on.

Ok Trainers! Looks like we've been asked to give a good howdy-doo to the new members that post a welcome! Let's make them feel wanted! Mount up!

Re: Helping those newbies out there! Read this TM/Deven

I don't think i could handle to see any more stupidity on this site, So ill be willing to adopt a few newbies to prevent even more stupidity and cluelessness from occuring.

Im online almost all day on thursday fridays and saturdays
I can handle as many as nessisary, my limit is 10
Of coarse i know the rules
If there is a way to prevent and avoid people from becoming n00bs, Im up to it

I Will try my best to aid the situationaly unaware newcomers of this forum.

Ill do it for free, unless someone really pisses me off, then i want compensation or ill just block them. Im a generally nice person as long as im not pissed off. Now, who wants to be guided under the great Starprincess366?

Im tough but fair.

*I propse an idea, that a caretaker of a newbie must have atleast had 5 months of membership on this forum before they can adopt.*

Re: Helping those newbies out there! Read this TM/Deven

No, thats the thing, this is done completely out of courtesy for the newbies. Not for any gil profit. Sorry if that mislead you Crypt and all who thought it was for pay.

Re: Helping those newbies out there! Read this TM/Deven

Ya, I wanna help out to. It'll save me time flaming people if they know what not to do in advance.

I can handle at least 7 people at once, and I'm not sure how much i'm on, it depends. I can be patient as long as the people i get aren't complete idiots.

Bring on the newbs! Gimme some n00bs also and i'll see if i can't make them contributing members to the online community.
