Granted I have not been here for very long... but if I could just suggest one thing...

Can we PLEASE do better greeting new members? They have no clue, as most of us didn't, as to how this site works and the very different personalities they will encounter... most if not ALL, have good intentions, need guidance and understanding..

Beating them up on their first post for not putting it in the "right" place is a huge turn off... as are sarcastic remarks as to one's first posts... can we let them get comfortable first before ramming the rules down their throat?

Okay, that's all I had.

God bless us all...:)

Firstly it is definitely not 'all' that have good intentions. There are, in fact, a lot more people on here with bad intentions than you realize.

Secondly, informing people early on of the right way to do things isn't 'beating them up'. It's giving them information that will A) make their time here easier and B) keep them from looking bad to others early on.

In the New Users forum there is a sticky thread that has a lot of visual help on how to navigate many areas of the site. In the Music forum is a sticky on how to post videos. And other sticky's scattered about.

On the more valid points you have, things won't change. There have been countless posts on the behaviors that take place on this site. Guess how effective they are? Not at all. Doesn't so much as dent the behavior that takes place here. And this thread won't either. In fact there's a high probability an argument will bust out in here.

(romans 2:4) "Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?"

if kindness is important to God it should be important to us.

There isn't one. Seems a pretty obvious answer. But i've observed from your posts, obvious is not your strong point.
I've been on various Christian forum sites. Mens forums are among the Least used. Typically there are about 5 threads in it. One on cars, one on sex, and a few covering spiritual matters. Usually the car and sex ones have the most responses, maybe two pages worth. And typically the last post on any thread is 6 months to a year old.
Forum areas are created based on demand. Not on individual personal preferences.

Yes, most people who join the site have good intentions and should be welcomed. Once in a while someone comes on looking for a mate. Once in a while someone comes on looking for a fight. Most people are just looking for a conversation, I think.

By the way, I suppose there is nothing wrong with looking for a mate. It is a little embarrassing, though, when the new member pretty much announces they are looking for a mate.

Generally with my foot down, you got a better way?!

(I'm sorry, brother, I noticed the question,
and just couldn't resist popping in here
with a little sarcastic humor for an answer) ;)

Don't mind me, I meant no harm.

(My first answer was gonna be,
'I DON'T stand on sarcasm,
I stand on Christ, the solid Rock.) :)
