If we can actually reach out and help those new players we can lower deadbeating rates a little at the least! if everyone helps somehow, like say whenever they come up against a new recruit they can ask to be sure that player knows what they are doing or by answering any questions! but there is one way we can help them help themselves!
basically the "how to play" page in instructions should be expanded and given its own link seperate from instructions. you can expand it with more detailed directions, screenshots, and making it more visible. right now in order to see this first you have to go into instructions, then click on how to play. even then its just over a page's worth of words, and only words. there are people i know who will be turned off by that alone. people want to SEE something, an example of sorts. they want to get interested.
as for making it more visible, maybe a link can be made for new recruits above their games like the announcements that lack does every once and a while.
i believe that by reaching out, making the site more new user friendly, and not being so negative, we can greatly reduce amount of deadbeaters and increase our (already considerable) cache of fun, great to play with, players
importance 3-4
Or at the very least, a walk through with screenshots.
