So... Let me show you why the new players leave LU after first playing time.
Ok, so the main priority of new players is to find a server with a lot of people - there is - "Mess about server". This server is official without any moderators/admins who can warn players for breaking rules. For example "Shnurok" has 2 lvl but unfortunately without kick/ban command. He was standing next to faggots which were spawn killing me and he didn't do anything. He could say: "Don't spawn kill. It's not allowed!". But no, they are his friends from his country - they can't be warned, they can't be kicked... It's so annoying. I'm playing since 2 weeks and I'm watching them, their playing methods, their behavior towards other players. In my opinion they should be warned/banned on official servers on 1 week.
I'm going to show you one movie where you can find provocative methods to leave from the game:
You should watch all. (1:20-2:30)
Regular players prevent newbies from playing by spawn kill, heal while fighting, following them with /goto command.
And ofc I vote for demote 'Shnurok'. If I have more time, I'll record their another BAD behavior.
