Rules for welcoming new users.

[Aharon]

The more active new members that join TR, the better TR will become. I continually push being friendly to the new users to my moderators. And apparently now I must give a lecture to the boys and girls on here on how to welcome the new users.

This has not been brought on by current events, I have been preaching the same thing for ages to the moderators. Most of the new local members we get have never posted on a message forum before. They dont know what the correct thing to do or say is. And they probably just dont know how picky you are.

It is required for TampaRacing to get and keep new users. Once a new user becomes a regular posting member, then no holds barred.. lol.. But, we must keep them long enough for them to get to that point.

I have seperated out some of the guidlines by sexes.

Our guidlines:

*) [guys/girls] If you dont have anything nice to say, leave this forum and go to free-4-all.


*) [guys] If a new female member posts in here, do not publically leg hump.. Atleast try to be descreet and keep it off the board.
*) [girls] I know it's difficult to get along with other girls. So, just keep your comments to yourself.


*) [guys/girls] If someone posts pics of thier "all-show-no-go" car, atleast suggest that they remove the show and add the go. Before you freak out on them.


*) [guys/girls] All new members are good, until proven other wise. Let them open thier mouths, before you do.


*) [guys/girls] I decide who gets to stays on TR, not YOU.



That is all.. Maybe we can get some fresh new faces on here before they get run off by our welcoming commitees.

is it ok to welcome them and ask for a friendly challenge against the chevette?

[dan]

well said.

there is nothing more annoying than, "got any pics?" that is no worse than 8 or 9 years ago when i was first getting online and in basic yahoo chat all we said was "a/s/l/pics? lol" not everyone who joins is single, looking, or going to be interested in the 1st person who meets them. therefore i dont read this forum much.


with that said, i will run the chevette. you better have some nos.

TRama® LoL at Aharon " generalissimo aharon!"

[Zate]

geeze.. i thought i was supposed to be Nazi Admin ?

but.. err. yeah what he said !

the more users.. the more people we can ban !! muuuahahah!!






























(that last comment is a joke you dumbasses !)

[dan]

new rule to add:

after you have posted the "hi, im new" and answered questions/posted pics and such, dont whore around in here. there ARE other forums. welcoming someone is okay, but i check in here to say hi if i see a new post and 90% of the time, its just chit chat that could be saved for AIM or PM.

That'a a helluva way to drag out the welcome wagon (a little pun there for those that didn't catch it). I'm new on the board but not new to the scene just dropped by this forum to make it known, I'll be heading to the other room now daddy.

LoL, you are new, you have no idea what I am talking about. Since you dont know what I am speaking of, then my post is obviously working.. lol

[matraca112]

lol,hi i am new. i hope i found the place that can help me with most of my raceing questions.

[LT4Vette]

Nice site Aharon. It is very well laid out.

Yeah, I am a newbie too but been doing this message board thing for years on many other sites.

[Carlos Rivera]

Hey amigos, new to your board. I drive a red 91 MR2-T which I'll be learning to launch on the track w/o spinning out. Anyway, anxious to meet more of you at the track this Saturday. That's me in the pic for those that don't know me.

[kujoBLK96gsr1@yahoo.]

just got one 1 question, how the hell do i change my user name!?! lol stupid question but i cant seem to find it anywhere on here, so if anyone can help me, greatly appreciated

[Jordan Y.]

PM Zate or another admin and ask politely. Or, you could just reregister, I don't know if they'd prefer a useless name in the database to putting out the effort to change your name.
