Welcoming New Members
« on: 07 April 2009, 08:46:42 »
This has been mentioned before, a while back, but is becoming a problem again ...... can members please refrain from welcoming 3 or 4 pages of newcomers at a time.

This often results in a newbies first post being relegated to page 4 and subsequently missed.

At what point is acceptable to start welcoming new members ?
I mean if I have say 1 post is it acceptable to start welcoming people, or should you have a certain number of posts before doing this ?

I have just welcomed a new member, my first I believe, as I think we
may have something in common.

Not trying to cause an argument, just asking if there is a kind of protocol with this sort of thing.

I feel anyone can welcome.

Best done oldest 1st, so new newbies stay at the top

also not going back too far.

Personally I only welcome if under 15 welcomes already done.

Come on ladies, join in!  Usually no-one bites apart from in jest.

Nothing to be frightened of though as we all have something worthwhile to say! :D :D :D ;)


......and yes HC I am noticing how often some very recent Newbies are missing out on a good welcome because some member wants to welcome everyone over the last week in one go!! ::) ::) ::) ::)

It's the only way to become an Omega god isn't it?

I was going to write a perl script to welcome people.
