My original point was of self responsibility. In that those who truly want to learn have the resources available. It is a newbies responsibility to separate the chaff from the grain and decide for ourselves our personal standards.
That's right. You too would rail and complain (or just leave) if you were bound by a set of rules you didn't like. I remember, elsewhere, where a newbie couldn't participate in chat conversations until they had been a member and online, for a certain number of tens of hours. Another where newbies were only allowed in certain rooms. And another where experienced doms were kept separated from the new subs while the chatroom owners did their own "winnowing of the chaff".
