PixieDust Posted September 22, 2019 I've noticed that lots of newbies introduce themselves on the forum and as result there are lots of individual forum posts. Just wondering what others think about creating a pinned "Place to say Hi and make introductions" Not sure how we go about it as such but just thought I would pose the question.........do we need an introduction page? I just think it would be nice for newbies to have a place they can go straight to and say hi and its all contained within one Forum post. What are your thoughts on this?
ey**** Posted September 22, 2019 I do feel, despite the problems it sometimes brings, an "introduce yourself here" sticky/thread could be a good idea. I've nudged your post to the mods
Wo**** Posted September 22, 2019 Great idea! The introductions and welcome thread is the first one I look for on any forum..
Philip2004 Posted September 22, 2019 There is a newcomers section on the site but that's mainly a search for newbies but the lobby once again is a good place for new people to introduce themselves there are usually a few old heads about to answer any questions etc
Deleted Member Posted September 22, 2019 It is a great idea, only you need to make sure that it cannot be missed, otherwise newbies will not know that they can use it
Mz**** Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) I was considering posting something similar myself yesterday, I agree wholeheartedly. I do understand people may want to say hi to everyone rather than just those who may come across their profile, but it can be disappointing seeing new posts and it's another hi from someone, especially when a couple of days later the profile has oftentimes been deleted..a designated area would clear the boards a little, and help stop more topic based posts slipping off. I'm not sure if the newbies forum is the place though, my perception, which may well be wrong, is its aimed at newbies to the lifestyle rather than the site, one doesn't necessarily mean the other, though the blurb under the header does say introduce yourself, so perhaps admin already feel that they provide a space for hellos.. personally I'd put an introduction thread in the online munch forum.

ey**** Posted September 22, 2019 in my head within the newbies forum an "Introduce yourself here" thread - designed for both new members and long term. It would need to be actively monitored so any comments that just go "hi" or "need a Mistress plzzzzzz" are removed. And, if anyone misses the thread and creates their own - then new forum posts need moderating anyone so the mod could just move to the thread I guess exceptions that apply are the "I am new and actually I have a question / point of discussion / etc" but otherwise, yeah, a single thread for anyone that does just want to introduce themselves.

Thank you for the nudge also and thank you to everyone else for your feedback. I will follow it up further with the powers that be.
le**** Posted September 26, 2019 Hi all! following @PixieDust suggestion, we've now created a specific thread in the 'New to BDSM, Kink & Fetish?' forum. It's pinned and featured at the top of the list and people are also reminded of the forum guidelines to avoid the tread getting 'spammy'. The mods have all been updated. Thanks everyone for your feedback
