I started play lobbies when I understood that I started to play more advanced in pubs (does not mean I got many kills tho)

When I joinec the first time, I pressed medic and joined a process map (I map Im not familiar with) and I got so much hate because I suck a medic and its f***ing lobby. I got really upset and just left the game. At the time I had some real issues finding out where to start. 

1. Noob problem: tf2center.com doesn't show the "Lets Play" good enough. I used atleast 2 hours on the website trying to understand where to "sign" in for a lobby. When that was done I joined the game I just talked about, and left, without knowing what this my do to me. I leave, and check my account, because at the time I still didn't properly understand what was going, and see that my reliability. Now the Reliability function is a really good mechanic. But not for n00bs. I didnt understand the system, so I just left the game, and got redused to 90% because I didnt write !rep our "class". And that is because I didnt know.

 

The next thing is:

I just before this was gonna go on my 5th lobby. I join, but the server has a newer update than my pc. I was so worried that I might get redused in reliability, I tried to figure out what to do. Now I was too afraid to close my account to update, but then something happened. Someone !rep'd me. I was so glad, because I thought it wouldnt reduse my reliability. But it did. Even now I still learn things, that i crucial, because some server require 80% + reliability. 

 

My request is:

Please make this site more noobfriendly, and if you could, (im not expecting this) please make my reliability. I just feel its unfair that I learned some of the lobby mechanics by using my reliability "points". Thanks alot.

https://tf2center.com/faqour faq actually answers all the question you had

[MasterNoob]

Did you actually read the landing page? https://tf2center.com/

 

Why are you blaming us for a 90% rep because you rage quit?

That is not what I meant. I probably could have used more time to understand. But the noobfriendly'ness isnt that great. Im not blaming anyone (not intended if I did blame)

People never read the FAQ. Then they ask stupid questions and wonder, why people get annoyed by them.

I personally think TF2Center is very easy to understand.

To be fair, I don't think the FAQ is mentioned in the landing page. Something at the bottom of the page with the other links like "Any questions? Be sure to check our FAQ" might help. People still probably won't check it, but then the landing page will contain just about everything a new player needs.

Alright, so: if we put that line on our Landing Page, everybody will know where to look for an FAQ? How about a huge fixed position at the top of the site, stating the simple letters "FAQ", oh wait....

Not every website has an FAQ, so people's default reaction may not be to look up an FAQ if they have a question. If it's mentioned in the landing page, they would at least know it exists. Also, the more linked up your website is the better (where appropriate). Finally, the link to FAQ is among a bunch of other links that new players generally don't need to worry about (Changelog, About, Donate, Advanced Lobbies).

I get the point you're trying to make, but it's so hard to feel bad for people when they literally don't try to figure ANYTHING out for themselves.

The FAQ button is literally right next to the forum button on the top of the page. Use your brains people.
