Perhaps it is just a matter of giving it a positive spin? For example ..

In all seriousness, it is not hard to be nice to newbs. It will just have to be a rule that we ask them to start a new thread when they start saying stupid shit. Easy as pie.

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

Maybe we should just put a Introduction sub-forum in the R'lyeh board for some good old fashion intro threads.

I don't often go into intro threads, and when I do I rarely comment. Unless they are A: transsexual, B: a hooker, or C: look to be a fun member Smile

What, and every member of the community do a reintroduction of themselves? Big Grin

Actually... that's not a half bad idea. I even like it.

Troll them (very lightly), and move on. A solution to all of your problems Big Grin

One is for your dick.... and the second is in case the first one falls off.

I dont understand why the need to derail someones intro thread.

Look at what happened to idunno's welcome thread.

What if we suspect a intro thread of having weapons of mass destruction?

Just kidding. I like the new rule. Tongue
