1. What is the best way to help a new player who just started playing the game in your opinion (when you are not a game master but just a normal player)? Assuming they speak english, I'd direct them to the beginner quests in Tulimshar, answer any questions about the rules they might have, explain basic game functions (such as how to whisper, trade, etc). If they speak another language I'd either ask a player who speaks their language to help in the same way I would, or if none were around, hope Google Translate gets the message across well enough.
2. When you would have the ability to spawn items using a GM command, who would get what from you? That would not happen from becoming a GM, but theoretically if that command were available to me, it would probably die of neglect.
3. You are a GM, get online and immediately receive reports about these behaviors by different players about different players. Please order them by your priority in dealing with them:
-advertisement for other servers
-botting
-insults
-not speaking english in public
-scamming
-spamming

-Botting: I don't really care about people using automation, but it's unfair to other players who actively spend their time grinding monsters, when a player is away from their keyboard getting all the same exp/items as the player actually working at it.
-Insults: Players sitting around town insulting each other just makes it a less enjoyable environment for other players. I'm not very strict about it, but calling people offensive names and harassing them should at least end in a warning to the offender/s. Of course, to be fair, I wouldn't come and warn someone just because somebody tells me they were called a name - I would go to where they were (probably invisible) and see for myself.
-Not speaking english in public: I consider spamming to be worse than this, simply because spamming is an annoying behavior while speaking another language is simply a matter of heritage. Still, I would probably respond to this first because if the non-english-speaking player gets no responses, they might repeat themselves until they get autobanned for spam. If the player is reminded of the rules in their language, and refuses to comply, then the usual action would be taken (warning, etc).
-Spamming: Though some spam will happen unintentionally here and there, continuously doing so with no regard for other players is inconsiderate. I only placed this below "not speaking english in public" because in some cases, the autoban for spam will take effect on it's own.
-Scamming: This isn't against the rules, so aside from warning players to watch their trade windows, there's not much that can be done about it. If someone is trying to scam people with websites that ask for your password, that's somewhat different.
-Advertisement for other servers: This is not against the rules at all, unless the player in question spams about it, in which case they might get warned for spam.

4. A player disagrees with your decisions and starts to insult you in public. How would you react?
If the player makes a valid point, I might ask the other GMs their opinion, though I'd still warn the player for insulting regardless. I'd also suggest that if they believe I'm not doing my duties as a GM, or am abusing the privilege, that they post a complaint in the Court House (Abuse Forum). If, however, they are just angry and directing it at me, I will warn them appropriately before taking action.
