Don't you think the wording on the intro ought to be changed

 

 

If you are a new member please introduce yourself to all the other members. I assure you, you will get a very friendly welcome ! Thanks so much for registering!

 

 

Seem's a bit of a piss take really, you never know who's for real or fake these days and it's stopping members welcoming the genuine new members.

Just ban certain members from posting in the Welcome New Members forum, it's only a few that have to act all hard nosed and make an unwelcoming welcome.

 

thats a good idea, give them all a false sense of security.

 

good work jack.

It's not a crime to be nice to people, or to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

(Should wait at least 5 posts before being rude to them )

indeed. the wording probably should be changed as there's obviously no way CTW can assure a friendly welcome.

 

there are obviously some members who, for one reason or another, feel that the fact that the world is a tough place is an excuse to just be shitty to people in general. perhaps it hasn't crossed their minds that the reason the world is shitty sometimes is because people keep being shitty.

 

they also seem slow to understand that they/we have some control over that. anyway, whatever.

 

is it possible for comments to be disabled only in the 'new members' forum?

 

that way people can use that forum solely to introduce themselves and they can decide if they want to join in the regular cut and thrust in the other forums.

 

not the best thought-through idea but just throwing it out there.

Hopefully the fad for being nasty to everyone will pass soon. It's so going to be last year.

Cheers - I've changed the wording on the forum description

Yeah Osama Bin Laden say's he has had enough, he is opening a school for under priveledged kids. He was quoted as saying "cruel is not cool".
