Or you know, they could spend an hour on TTT.

Being GROSSLY optimistic, 1/10 trolls decides to join FRG. While the 9/10 requires moderator action!!!! Is it worth it?
Three things I'd like to address-
Yes, I do think they'll do events and bosses. I couldn't play with my friends back in the day because of the level 10 limitation, so we had to grind them through TTT to level 10 by feeding them traitor round items and (I'll admit) looking the other way when they had a traitor round. It's not a tall order, it's making it more accessible to people in general. PapaRussia was oddly allowed on the lobby when he was level 1, and Brass invited him to run Survive with them. He did so, and has been an active member of FRG ever since.
Yeah, they could spend an hour on TTT, but do they even know it exists? At the moment, I've seen a lot of level 1s click the lobby when there's 20 people in there fishing, get hit with a kick, and then never see them again because they have no incentive to try to figure out what happened, or look for the TTT server. They didn't even know what the community had to offer because they weren't here but for 10 seconds, assuming they were paying attention after they loaded the content.
Lastly, let's assume that 100 people join FRG. 90 are banned within a few seconds, and 10 join, are awesome members of the community, and are fun to play with. I wonder if that's worth the 90 seconds that we had to take to type !ban troll 60 trolling. ...
Have you stopped to take into consideration that not everyone is a troll, and even some people that are aren't there to make your life miserable, they're just trying to have fun- something not too far away from the reason you joined the server? I can't tell you how many times I've had a troll join the server, rdm me, and I proceed to strike up conversation and get along with that person. Sometimes, in previous servers, they even got to know me and joined the community. It's rare, but some people want to just have a good time.
Yeah, you're going to have some degenerate spouting some racist bullshit because he's misled, uneducated and just a hateful person. But most of the time that's not the case, and if you try to categorize 9/10ths of the world as that you're going to have some serious trust issues.
