Since I just noticed that there's actually not enough words in the reason+experience I'll add a few words to it:
I've started playing on goonstation in, I believe, at the start of 2014.
I was extremely intimidated by the game's harsh way of teaching you how to play so I know fully well how a new player might shy away from the game completely just by playing it for the first time without someone answering their questions.
I've been totally ignorant to some of the rules at the beginning, but after a couple of warnings I've shaped up, so I understand the importance of getting a inexperienced player to read the rules as soon as it's apparent that it's their first time on the game/server.
Reading the unbans forum, which I read from start to finish awhile ago, is also, I believe, a plus when it comes to mentoring. Reason being, it helps to explain in length why there are some things the player must keep in mind when it comes to them doing something for laughs that might end up with another player to sit out of the on-going shift.
