Hi everyone, you know that I'm always looking for better ways to make new members feel welcome.

I have changed Messenger to give out 1 reward point per message sent to new members who have joined in the last week.

There is a limit of 3 reward points per new member. 1 point for messaging them, and 2 points for replying to messages from them.

As long as you've been active for at least three days on LiveWire you can earn reward points in this way.

I will be saddened if people try to abuse this little feature by spamming new members. If I hear of anyone abusing it I will take away ten times the number of points they earned by messaging new members and disable their ability to message new members.

You can learn more about ways to earn reward points here:

Yeah. If I was a newbie I'd just -love- being pestered with tons of messages my first week here.

Frankly I'd hate it and would be hard pressed not to make nasty sarcastic replies to anyone doing it to me.

its a good way to make new members feel welcome, although its not very welcoming to read the announcements and see that people only welcomed you to boost their ranking...

That's nice, but for the people who spam new members, you should remove the whole messenger system for about a week. I'm sure it would be a greater loss to not be able to message anyone, rather than only new members.

Yeah, no kidding.  I think it's a good idea, and I've messaged one or two, but I'm afraid to welcome anymore, since I'm not sure what's considered spam and whatnot.

If you're being genuinely kind and welcoming to them then you have nothing to worry about.  If you send so many messages that they feel uncomfortable or it's clear you're doing it just for points, that would be abuse.

Edit: Oh, and if you just send "HI LOLZ" or "ABCDEFGH" or some other generic non-helpful message. . .well don't.
