Hi Folks!

I am sorry if some of you feel that I spammend newbie channel because I asked
about how a certain skill works. I am not sure, how else I should/could have
asked?

The rules "help channels" clearly states that you are allowed to ask on newbie
if you have been away a long period of time. Well I hope that more than 5
years count - and that was not my first long break.

Recently I asked on wanted or bat and got told to stick to newbie channel and
on newbie channel i got banned..... well i have a seriously problem getting my
answer. Well thats life!

And of course I asked friends (the few that are left) and some new friends. I
would not have asked if they knew the answer for 100% sure.

The only thing I really would appreciate is that before I get a Channel Ban,
could you please talk to me - so I realize what i did wrong or how to do
better?

(Oh and cant use guild channel - as I am planning that reinc)

Thanks for your time, Kal

As a general rule, if a newbie could ask that question, it's perfectly fine to
ask on newbie. If it's something that might confuse newbies, leave it out of
it, and use wanted/bat/whatnot. Some helpers also find this confusing and only
look at peoples levels for signs of newbieism, but that really is not the
right way to act.

One way I've seen used is to ask on the wanted channel.
