Hey, mods?

I have a quick little question…
Well, when new users come onto help, they can feel more (what’s the word) welcome here if a user on this site welcomes them. I was welcomed when I came here and it made me feel really good about myself, even though I had been depressed in the past.

The point of the post is this, would it be possible to have a “welcoming committee”? It wouldn’t have to be official or anything, but just where we are notified about a new user and can welcome them here. I have tried to make it my job to say “Welcome to help.com” to every person on this site who is younger than me. Can we do something like that?

A lot of websites put something like :- “The newest member/s to join are” and then the user names of the new members. This usually in a prominent place on the opening page of the website.

Yeah, but it’s not quite the same as being greeted by a user on the site.

I think one of those could be a good idea, it’s also good to know who’s new just so you know.

i think that we already welcome people, but they are not adding new features to the site, right now, but keep the suggestion in mind for later.

If this website was modderated propperly. It would have a modderator on the site twenty four hours a day.
Then a new user could be welcomed by a mod. Also as I said above. That should entail a double welcoming to help.com

WELCOME MARAUDER!

You guys don’t know how to properly welcome someone :) J/K
But I do agree, it is a good thing to do….Chameleon welcomed me and walked me through things step by step for a couple nights. I still feel loyal to her even though she has had to take a hiatus for some reason…..:) luv ya, Chameleon

The Help Bot didn’t welcome me, either. No one did, to tell the truth. Holy cow, I just checked and I’ve only been a member for two weeks. Weird, it seems like a lot longer than that.

Lol, thanks, but I just wanted to provide another example where the HelpBot didn’t work right in its welcoming duties.
