To clarify, I don't spam my message. My usual mode is:
- Port to map, put on the apple hat.
- Post the offer to help with questions once.
- After receiving no more questions (or after 10 minutes of receiving no questions), post it again, but never twice within 10 minutes.
- If after 10 minutes nobody asked for help and I asked at least twice, change map.
So basically, once I haven't received a question after posting it at least twice, I leave. And I never post it twice within 10 minutes, usually longer. I think that's reasonable. Unless a map is really stuffed with new players, peeps are only going to read it 2-4 times total. And if it is densely populated with people who obviously need guidance, I think sticking around is justified.
I'm just asking because my third attempt within 40 minutes was suppressed at some point, which struck me as a bit restrictive.
Thanks for the advice folks, I appreciate it. Can recommend offering help to newbies to every experienced players. It's relaxing and wholesome. And gives you an excuse to not run Bjora for the 20th time in a row. 😉
