Should you think new members should get a good welcome?

Yes if you see them.

Listening to Hatsune Miku 3pm-8pm. I'll be on at 8pm-10pm every day.

New users and old users alike should always be welcomed in chatrooms. From then on, it's up to them how they're treated by other chatroom users. If they decide to hold a decent conversation, fine; if they decide to be inappropriate, spam, and/or troll severely, then they don't deserve respect, but instead reprimanding and being ignored. I do feel, however, that new members should get just a little more leeway so that this website doesn't become an immediate turn-off and so that they can learn.

Catch my drift.

I did not even get a message from WelcomeBot.

Today, I am become Death, destroyer of the worlds.

new people should learn the way we all did. no one told us so why should we. they act like noobs when their ignored and start cussiing and telling people their ugly and other names.

~Blue to my Core~

I also think members should be more nice to newer ones. No offence, but especially some of the admins...

I promise you'll be disappointed.

Yell helpboard when they get anoyying.

Come at me dog.

All they have to do is go to the help file...

I'm not saying you're fat... but if i had to choose the 5 fattest people i know, you'd be 3 of them.

yes but I mean we were all new members once and we didnt get a welcome did we?

Believe in your dreams and your wishes may just come true.

Mayby they should get a message in there inbox or somthing saying WeLcOm NeW mEmBeR!

@Star Toad
There is, when i joined, i got an welcome message. From "welcomebot"

Look, Again, all new members these days, are, as Halliane pointed out, annoying pests. Some of them just brats, honestly. A few, I've taken a liking to, but, only because they're polite, and, for some reason, found my Profile.

But, just leave it as it is. New members are new members, and they'll get the Cold Shoulder for a few days. When I joined, I was welcomed semi-warmly. Unfortunately, I was welcomed by 3 different religions, who kept bugging me to convert to their side. Not fun. But I digress...

Anyway, the point is, there's no need to give 'em special treatment. They're annoying 90% of time, anyway.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

-.-

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

No, a small, cold-shouldered welcome is proper!

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

I think, the first time a member comes into chat, if they're not a total brat, they should be welcomed, not shunned and ignored simply because they don't yet know everything about the site...

Just my opinion.

I recieved a very warm welcome when I first joined, by then again, that was over avyear ago...

Yeah, we dont need to great MOST new Members. They usually get banned after 5 minutes.

Hello, friends.

Well, i'm new and everyone ignores me and i never know what to do. I think everyone should be informed of new members

Keep on roaring! RAWR!

and we should help them, i agree with Paint

Keep on roaring! RAWR!

@Party: Go ask people on Profiles. Done.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

We can't act like they're something special. they need to earn their place here, as many other have done. Sure, I will gladly point a newcomer in the right direction, explaining who Hullbreach is, how to use /me, etc. But I won't treat them like they're already one of my good friend.(Unless, of course, we have a good conversation a number of times.)

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

They could be some type of admin!
Called buddy admin, and they would get warning about new members ect... it would be good!
personally i think it would help alot, and id be more than willing to help a newbie and show them how the site works.

two is better than one!
