Re: What Would You Say To The Newer Members Of CD - 2nd Edition

I realize that I am resurrecting a thread but I puzzled over where to post for a bit and decided to post here.

We are at a point in the season where new members are participating in ChiefDelphi and it is a new adventure for them.

I'm noticing red reps being given to new posters who have less than 3 posts in the fora so far. I would suggest that veteran posters take a moment to help the new poster rather than hitting the red rep button so quickly. If the poster is making multiple posts rather than using an edit button to add to the original post, take the moment that you would spent hitting the red rep button and send them a PM with an explanation of what the edit button is and how it works. Don't assume that everyone knows how to post in CD and is familiar with its features.

It doesn't take any time at all to be helpful and to be kind, helping to insure a good start to the season for all.
