Re: Welcoming New Members

Ok, I've been thinking about this for some time now, since I wrote the KMC article on Wiki anyway. Basically I've noticed that although new members are always welcomed positively in the Welcome Forum it seems that as soon as they venture anywhere else on KMC they're generally ostracised within a very short space of time.I know I, and a few others, have tried to keep the positive welcomes consistent but there are a lot of members who have been here for a while who constantly try to intimidate newer members, as though it's some kind of competition and something to be proud of. This makes absolutely no sense to me, especially when you consider how many times I've seen people questioning KMC's overall atmosphere and wondering why it's spiralling downwards.
I think that we should ALL make every effort to make new members feel 100% welcome here, there's no reason to make them uncomfortable and if we were truly proud of the forum and our membership here then we'd all be doing this automatically. I say from now on, unless we're provided with obvious and valid reasons not to, we should all try to prove that KMC really is the best community on the net.
Who's with me? eyes
