Consensus Requested, Chime In
« on: January 28, 2012, 02:22:33 AM »
On many sites where I am registered, sites of varied topics, I have noticed that some few of them require that a new registrant make their first post in the introductions thread. Newcomers are limited to this simple hurdle, then may proceed at will.

Just their very first post, but they must and further access is not granted until they do.

It is not too difficult and IMHO not to much to ask for someone joining a community to make their first post by stopping by the introductions thread to just say "Hi". Life story not required, just the simple and very basic human "hail, friend" which has existed since before recorded time when one encounters a new group for the first time.

Too much to ask?

Absolutely not! I'm on a couple of nonpolitical boards that require the same courtesy. One wouldn't walk into someone's home and head for the fridge without at least greeting the host and/or hostess. My Marine Parents board has to approve your first few posts before you're allowed to post on your own.

"Too much to ask?"  No.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

It's absolutely the right thing to do in the name of basic human courtesy.

But we sometimes receive noobs who are either ignorant about such basic courtesies or deliberately circumvent them. One such recent noob - "nunuvurbiznez" qualifies. His introductory "thread" was little more than a "go **** yourself - I'm here and I am not joining your "community" with such niceties as a civil introduction".

Frnakly don't see the point.  I rarely read the welcome forum because there is almost never anything of substance in it.  Clubs do love rules, though.
