    No, I mean a way to see that they will are getting out of rookie status, not a 0 or 1 from green to white.
    Maybe earn some points after completing tutotials (get blue faster).
    (Oops, maybe it's the already the case ?)

    At that point, just display their level next to the badges.

    Another weird change that older ns2 designers had the right idea with thats been changed by the new ns2 b-team. I guess as long as they can find one person on the forums to agree with them, they get to claim they arent ignoring the community completely.

    Exactly my point. Nonsense political correctness ruining video games now.

    It's fine though. Just shout and get annoyed as you want. It's not your fault if the social engineers want to hide the fact that someone is new and inexperienced.

    Don't know about other players but whenever i use to see a server with more than half greens i would just leave or else just destroy them. It's boring + just pisses everyone off, now i can't know at all until they talk, genius!

    Yep pretty much, and since you don't have an average skill indicator in the "amazing" server browser you can't notice it unless you look at each player individually. Was wondering why the few times i played the game lately i had more vote kick for "cheat" than usual.
    In the end it hurts the rookies more than me, if I was selfish i would say i really don't care (like for the health bar buff or shift hive buff for veterans)

    No, numerical values are to be replaced by symbols :)

    I think shruggies are the way to go. More shruggies = more skill? We'll never know.... because that is the point!
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    dumb stuff

    "This guys clearly knows what he's talking about"

    stuff

    I made that sarcastic comment NOT because you're a rookie (which I didn't know at the time, I realize you're one now because of how you phrase your posts) but because, clearly, you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Sorry but it's the truth, being a rookie or not has nothing to do with it.

    Next time I'll make sure I put a trigger warning just for you though, since it seems you're in dire need of more safe spaces for your poor little rookie self.

    Can you imagine those learner drivers don't have "L" plates and drives really slow. normal people are gonna start spamming their horn wondering why they are hogging the lane. Its only when they drive past or do a closer inspection that they realised they are learning.

    I can confirm this coming from a country that doesn't have plates like this.

    Nice analogy.

    I'm going to ignore the politically charged nonsense for now, it's completely off topic and has nothing to do with the science of psychology. I'm disappointed in some of you guys.
    At that point, just display their level next to the badges.

    This is a really good idea! As a rookie gaining levels is motivating, if the metric is granular enough it can't be stigmatized, and it's a reasonable metric for determining whether someone is a rookie or a baddie which I think is, ultimately, what people are trying to figure out. Blizzard games do this and it works really well.

    Careful, I think cars are also politically incorrect. Please limit your transportation discussions to trains/buses only.

    Funny to see the person who brought politics and social engineering in to this discussion now suddenly trying to be aloof.

    I work in Paris, whatever sticker you have on your shiny *ss, you'd better take off in less than 0.03 seconds when you have the pole position on a traffic light or they'll rush over your dead body :#

    lol, that sounds like eastern europe :D I would've thought all those baguettes and cheese made frenchmen more considerate :P
    Still, knowing what to expect beforehand is better, "assumption is the mother of all fuckups"

    The gold star analogy wasn't meant to be political, and I already apologized for that. However you are confusing politics with psychology or misinterpreting something I typed, and that's on you.

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-new-you/201409/should-we-give-our-kids-participation-trophies

    To sum up, "So: should we give our kids participation trophies?

    To be honest, it depends. As an unexpected surprise for someone’s unwavering dedication and effort – absolutely! As a meaningless gesture for just “showing up”—maybe not."

    Edit: I don't think you know what social engineering means. At least in this context you aren't using it correctly. Whenever you see a friend drunk and stop him from driving home by calling a taxi for him you are engaging in the act of social engineering. It's a much broader term than many people think and we all engage in it nearly every single day. Trying to use it as a kind of insult doesn't make much sense.

    Back to the rookies ?
    Do we want them back ? Well I do, I'd agree on a 3 bars thingy (no, not in game under the health bar please !)

    Me too, I'd hate to be the one disencouraging newbies with my ingame rants :D

    Highlighting rookies on the scoreboard should come back in someway, even if they start of as green then progress into a different color to show there progress.
