Recently there was a thread "wondering about religion in America". I wouldn't have recognized this as an introduction. If someone obnoxious posts here with no clue in the title or first paragraph, it might be more appropriate to move the thread than to hand out an automatic penalty to anyone who gets drawn in.
That's it. Not a big concern really.
Alternately, there's the new member who comes right out of the gate pulling veiled threats and insults in the introduction forum... so this needs a notation of their inclusion in the fine print.
Well... 'needs' is perhaps a bit too strong

[Didn't understand.] Talk slowly and loudly as if to an older person.
You're lucky I added "member" and "out of forum" to that. I kind of figured they were unnecessary.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
