Education... where is it these days?

This statement was originally in reference to chat only. The more I read through the following responses the more I believe it should have been refered to the library in general. Yes mentoring would be helpful, but as has been stated there is no standard and there will not be an agreement on a standard.
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".

No I wouldn't, I would consider it training.

Not to quibble, but I must... lol, even trainees mostly 'do" rather than mostly watch.
