Be More Welcoming

retired_elpata · 10-10-2007, 03:53 PM

As we are getting to that time of year again I suspect an influx of new members to begin appearing in this forum. In fact I have seen around 20+ new members post here in the last 4 days or so. I have seen a lot of older members being rude and very unwelcoming to people.

Now that is something that must stop now. Everyone is welcome to post and wether you are a new or old member you all deserve the same treatment. So id like it if the more seasoned members could be more welcoming in future and not so rude and arrogant (I'm not saying you are all rude but a select few are).

We are bound to get a lot of duplicate threads appearing but instead of flaming them maybe you can link them to the threads that are simliar. That was the forum is a friendlier place.

If I see people being rude in any way or shape action will be taken and it could result in permanent bans.

Thanks

The forum seems to be a lot quieter these days, maybe this is one of the reasons why.

Could be, as well as the fact that most are waiting for FM08

Yeah no doubt it'll be a lot busier upon release.

Whatever happened to the off-topic thread? Does it not get used anymore?

i hate to see people flaming new people its not rite but the site is quiet as the off topic forum is gone.

That's not the reason. The old crowd have left and interest in FM has waned. There won't be as big an influx of new members as there was last year.
