DO UNTO NEW MEMBERS...

...AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU

An issue has come up that needs to be addressed. The issue is the treatment of new members. This public announcement is more of a reminder to current members, as the issue hasn't gotten outta control. We just would rather head it off before it gets there.



Boys, our forum's growing. We're seeing increased numbers of guys showing up and asking questions, whether it's advice or about specific ideas, equipment, etc.

But guys who really wanna have a good time, won't come to a slaughter house.

BE NICE

Let the new member get grounded before we derail his threads and make fun of his funny Montanan accent and chicken farmer career choice.

We just want these guys to return feeling welcomed. And it won't happen if five posts into his first thread we're comparing FF's sister to Rex's gigantic ego.

Which raises another point...our New Members Introduce Yourselves thread. Go outta your way to just say "welcome" or even "x2." Just something to acknowledge a newb for doing what he's supposed to...introducing himself. And if ya feel so inclined, take it a step further and ask him what he hunts, his favorite color, if he's from Montana or Texas, is he a cop, etc.

Guys reaching out like this goes a long ways.

Please use restraint when these guys show up and are just trying to get to know us. For some it takes awhile. For others like Gila, Hudson, Ohio and Frylock, it'll only take five minutes before it's game on. But use your best judgement.

We were all newbs once.

BE NICE, until it's time to not be nice

Either that's the worst shave I've ever seen or your face grows hair like Sasquatch.

Is this the beginning of Californication of the WFF?
Do we have to be politically correct too?
Can we still use curse words?
Is the ban hammer being brought out?
Has Red gotten soft in his old age?
Can we still bust balls?

The new members could take a few lessons from RMFC.....just saying.

Message received Red. :lol: :lol:

Stand by. We're ushering in a new era. There will be no upper class. No lower class. The forum will care for you and protect you. Mod's are militarizing and resistance is futile

You know Red that I have absolutely no desire to be a motorator but notice if you will that my avatar has bigger tits than your avatar.

I agree Red, we've got entirely too many troublemakers here. Too many 40-year-old adolescents, felons, power drinkers and trustees of modern chemistry.

Red, if you don't mind, I would like to pose a couple of serious questions:

Has Olly been on your ass for not motorating properly? Or, is this a troll?

I'll just add this little bit in here.

New blood and growth is directly related to WFF's life span. You guys will make it last as long or as short as you want by the way you treat new members.

They have a valid concern. 92 members online right now. Some I've never seen.

Red's just trying to make up for the mess he left in the military forum while AK was gone.

I gotta agree with reds thread starter, it goes a long way with a new member to give'em a warm welcome in the Introduce yourself thread.

Olly, you could just change the slogan at the top of the page to: For Duck Dicks by Duck Dicks. That way, the new guys know what they're getting themselves into :thumbsup:
