Put up posters before each door/place stating which ranks are not allowed to enter.

For example, near the Tower door, write, "ONLY JO+".
You may say, "That's useless!" but I see a lot of Initiates going into places where they shouldn't go, and most of the time, they don't even know that they aren't allowed in.
You may say, "Just look at the guidelines," but some people can't access Discord.

[proper sedge]

Um..

You do know that

8 year olds exist & they just dont follow rules

[half ocean]

Mhm. But maybe this will be a little bit better

[barren orbit]

Ye

Kinda like in booths

[half ocean]

@magic nymph can u please add reactions?

[magic nymph]

Alr

[half ocean]

Thank you

[magic nymph]

You're welcome

[inland nest]

Nah their card can’t even open it
Second most of the low ranks that do it are trolls

[barren orbit]

Oh yeah

The cards

Well it could be open but I don't think they'd care

[half ocean]

What about cliffs and caves? And sometimes u can found the door open from Raiders. I see a lot of time Intiates going in booths since JO+ always leave booths door open.

And who know. Maybe there are some initiates that doesnt troll

[inland nest]

Not rejecting the idea just pointing out facts

[inland nest]

those that haven’t trolled have already passed Stage 1

[raven shell]

there’s guidelines, multiple stages of an academy and sc in game… all to tell you what you can and can’t do

Do you really think more text is going to stop people

[inland nest]

they’re gonna ignore it

even if you put a pop-up window they will ignore it

@half oceanWhile I understand how this can help, you gotta understand Initiates are meant to read the rules and guidelines (At least in the BAT, if they don't do the BAT that's on them). The rules and guidelines show every post and the rank required to go there, so if Initiates fuck up that's entirely on them.

note that this comes from someone who tried going outside the border multiple times as an initiate. i understand that you can be confused, but i also understand that me not reading the rules at first was on me

[half ocean]

I undrestand, but, for people who can't access discord or they are new and skipped bat it can be hard to know. They will just learn after getting some warnings. When I was a JO, I didn’t know I wasn't allowed in roof or cliffs and caves. So I was thinking, maybe this could help a little bit people to remember.

[split dew]

Again, completely understandable point of view and that's what warnings are for (to WARN you to check what you can do or not). If someone can't access Discord then I don't even know what they're doing playing The Border, this is a closed community kinda thing that requires Discord to be in touch with the game. Moreover if they skipped BAT, as I said before, that's on them.

So if someone, for whatever reason, decided to skip reading the rules, that's completely on them and once they get warned they should take that warning as "Maybe I should check out what I can and can't do, or maybe ask someone where I can find that information". Common sense goes a long way.

Now this doesn't mean your idea is bad, on the contrary, it's an excellent idea. However, this shouldn't be needed as it literally comes to show some people don't have the required brain for a roleplay game, or simply didn't bother reading the rules at all despite being aware of their existence (And that's what warnings are for, among other uses, in my opinion).

[inland nest]

well they don’t “skip” the BAT they just straight up send a request to the group without a care in the world

that’s how those 2-10 day accounts get in

[glacial patrol]

90% i just cuff people out if its a genuine mistake

[split dew]

Yea exactly
