turn on looc

let mentors be visible to new players so they can ask for help!!

They are already visible and the game tells how to contact mentors or check if they are there. Purple Text andThe Who command

i mean directly in game
i think a welcome page for the first like, 10 rounds to encourage the asking of questions

Again, something like this can be abused.  All someone needs to do is make a new account and voila, they can target specific people.

Someone who has a grudge against a particular mentor would get some use out of something like this.

you'd have to be a special kind of weird to do that shit

Oh, don't get me wrong, I definitely agree with that.  Sadly, special kind of weird people exist.
