Question.  
 What constitutes abuse?

 

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.

Oh, okay.  Thank you!

I like the idea. And how it promotes the older members to get to know the younger members.

I think, therefore we have nothing in common

There is only one guarantee in life, and that is NOW.

I was wondering what sort of things you suggest we say?

I have a little message I give them. About welcoming them, and how they can PM me with any questions and such...but really, I usually say the same thing in the Welcome forum. SOOOoooo is that all you expect?

If one, settling a pillow by her head,
Should say: "That is not what I meant at all. That is not it, at all."

I am no longer in favor for this new option.  Since support leaders are becoming "big bros/sis" to the new people, what impact are we doign when we PM them on our own terms?  

Are you asking us to say a simple hello or what?  Cause from how I see it, they got someone they can talk to about LW and an already laid out PM with everything in it.  

I don't use it becuase I don't know what to say.  Unless you just want us to chit chat with them, then I say f-that, but if you want us to make them feel welcomed, well I think the novice support system already has that cover, so I no longer see the point in having this.

Effective punishment for abusers, I must say. Looks great, I like it because I used to send them messages (the new members) and still do, but I enjoy the points ^_^ Danke.

How come I didn't get any point after PMing a new member who was online?

I love Americans, but not when they try to talk French.
What a blessing it is that they never try to talk English.

I pictured it more as a support thing.  Members may be looking for help, and to reward you for giving that help to them, you get a nifty reward point.

For one, they never reply back and two, I already PMed two new people and I never got my points, not like I need them in the first place.

They have to actually be new members. Send me their membernames and I will look into it to see if it is a bug or if they had too many days active already.
