I was also one of the unwelcomed ones. <sniff sniff> So I always make it a point to welcome new FTers whenever I see a newbie posting, usually based on the join date and number of posts (less than 5).
I'm also giving a big FT welcome to janey, peteropny, and Canarsie, even though your join dates were long before mine. :D |
I never got the welcome either, but I happily assumed it was because I'd read a lot of threads on FT before I offered my first post, so when I *did* post, I kinda had the lingo down... which made it easier for me to "blend in," which maybe made it easier for people to miss the fact that I was a FT infant...

Welcome to FT!! :D |
Personally, I only do it for the first post, and I generally won't just post a welcome with nothing else (i.e. I like to have something substantive in the post).

[QUOTE=ozstamps]Is this anti-ozzie discrimination? :D
Actually a workmate of Margaret's joined only yesterday and her first 2 posts are here in the ORD forum: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=624995 She is ECSTATIC about FT and has been babbling all day about it in the office, she is so excited about the advice she got. If anyone has time to add a few more welcomes she'll never stop raving about FT is my guess. :D |
A welcome is always ...welcome!
|
I never rec'd a welcome either. Though I always make it a point to welcome new posters with two or less posts that've joined within the month.
Shouldn't we welcome posters every time they post? I mean, though they might not be new to the forum, they are just signing on and have generally been off FT for a fixed amount of time (or at least, I hope no one is on here 24/7). So it would only be rude not to welcome posters every time they sign on to post. :D So, welcome to the next poster and all those above. |

To offer a contrarian opinion, I think the welcome should be withheld until you're sure they're someone you want to welcome! :cool: :p :D
(Well, someone had to say it... ;) ) |

(Well, someone had to say it... ;) ) I think I agree with the rest of the people... you should welcome somebody within first couple of posts. On FT you can always take back the Welcome... (called suspended) if you dont like them :D |

Anyhow, I made a joke and you ruined it by being serious. :p |
