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.

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. 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.
Well I like the idea of new members recieving acknowledgement from the more seasoned ones
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?

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. (Edited by RelientKFan824 at 8:54 pm on Nov. 4, 2005)
