I'm gonna start yelling at people who don't hold 'spirit sight' 24/7.

You know, I can see both sides of this. With Achrid, I try to have spirit sight up all the time, but there are some times that is just not possible. Walk though any no-magic zones so fast that you don't realize all your spells dropped till you get attacked and sanc should have blocked it or a dead person sends you a tell.
I try to make the first few rezes for people a bit more difficult, depending on the situation. Few key questions, one of which I can't believe how many times I've gotten "Huh? What are you asking?" for a response, c'mon folks, it's not that hard if you think about the question.
I too have helped out newbies/lowbies of opposite aura when they need life. The recent rash of aggro NPCs comes to mind when a group of 4 lightites sent me tells cause they couldn't find a priest, I kept them talking for about 10 minutes hoping one would log on, when one didn't, I brought them back. I see no reason to make a newbie/lowbie jump through tons of hoops in a situation like this, sure there was RP both before and after, but I feel if a newbie is stuck too long in the afterlife they may just quit and not come back. In my years of playing priests, I've had a few confused newbies ask me oocly how long they have to wait to be brought back, not realizing the auto-rez is low level only or the mud they were on before had a timer after death and they were brought back. A kind direction to Help Death worked greatly in that case, and I believe they are still playing today.
