I still think the key to doing what we need is to have ient program the areas so that only newbies (2,1 Lt) and trainers are allowed in Main. Capt and above can use all other areas.
Without totally understanding everything this is what jumped out at me.
I've flown warbirds since well before version 1.11 I flew long before there was a "rank" system. I pay absolutely no attention to the "rankings" and points... I don't fly because of points and so my rank is only 1st LT
I dont spend hours and hours in game and the sheer number of points needed to rank is ridiculous, guess that means I'm still a newbie or perhaps I just fly like one...
A negative thought:
Your plans at first glance look as if they are exclusionary. Is there some way a pilot could wander in there and get involved without knowing the password? can they still type on an open channel to see how to join in with one side?
A positive thought:
In my opinion, people go where they know what to expect and where there are other people. They stay because it's fun and also because of the camaraderie built flying with the same people. At times I see name calling, malicious taunting and complaining which gives me a very negative impression and I would assume new people too.... So I applaud your efforts to put a stop to that type of behavior and to attempt to lift the level of play of everyone participating.
