New Member Welcoming Commitee

[pottercrossing]

A thread like this may or may not already exist, but I made this anyway because I'm awesome. So it goes like this: Just post the word "Raymond" in the comments, and I'll sign you up. Your job is simple. Check the new members list on a regular basis, and you can choose someone to private message with a few words of welcome. The only rules are to be polite and that you have to be a member for at least a full day to be able to sign up. Otherwise, please make the new people feel welcome and have fun going on about your daily lives.

I am personally confused about this, what is this thread exactly? Doesn't this already exist in the form of the introduction board as well?

Welcome to the forum!

There is an introduction board as @Antonio said. This forum is very welcoming and lots of people actively welcome and help new members

I believe there is a new members list, not an introduction board, but an actual list. If I’m understanding correctly, whoever posts here will go on that list occasionally and message a new member and welcome them, regardless if they post on the introduction board or not.

If this is the case, I don’t think this would make new members feel comfortable. They might not want to be bombarded with messages, hence why they didn’t just post on the welcome board.

Hopefully this thread will be closed as there are other relevant places to post to introduce and welcome new members

Yeah also it's a bit like "I SEE YOU" and some people don't really wanna be seen.

Hi there!

While this thread was undoubtedly made with good intent, we think it would be better to rely on the existing Introduction Board than to have an unofficial welcome committee. We feel like using this board is a more natural way of welcoming people to the forums, as it allows new members to choose whether and when they want to say hello.

I will be closing this thread here, and would like to ask you not to actively reach out to new members. Thank you!
