| Dec 18, 2019 at 7:16 | comment | added | Charlie Mod | Thank you very much for your welcoming effort. Indeed, being welcoming is a burden we all should carry, not just the moderation team. Nonetheless, I see your point but there's little we can do about software improvements here. You should post this question in MSE. | |
| Dec 18, 2019 at 4:31 | comment | added | aparente001 | @Charlie - I"m not sure why, or what the solution is -- it is not my intention to dump this on your shoulders -- but I keep coming across posts by newcomers that have no welcome greeting. I have written some. But this seems quite different from before. I suspect our former moderators were doing a lot of this sort of welcoming (with both good first posts and not so good). I would like to see everybody chipping in more to welcome new arrivals, and I wonder if the software can do anything to help us do this more systematically. | |
| Dec 3, 2019 at 7:07 | comment | added | Charlie Mod | Sorry, I'm terrible with queries. What I have always done is what I said, I just treat anybody under 200, maybe 300 reputation points with extra care and guidance. Apart fom that, I don't think we need to monitor every single action a new user does. I don't think that anybody should feel like the addresee of this song: "Every breath you take and every move you make every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you." :-) | |

| Dec 2, 2019 at 18:28 | comment | added | aparente001 | @Charlie - I guess I'm imagining a notification of posts made by new users. I think that might be helpful for me. I've seen situations where someone writes a second or third post, has a rep of maybe 5, and would benefit from some guidance. If you've figured out a workaround or technique that would get me that, in some approximate way, could you post it as an answer? Maybe a query, that I could bookmark? | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 9:40 | comment | added | Charlie Mod | Having said that, are you saying that we should be warned of "everything" everything a new user does? Comments, votes, everything? | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 9:40 | comment | added | Charlie Mod | When a user is new, apart from the "first posts" queue entry we all see a notification under the user profile that says something like "X is a new contributor, be nice", that stays there for some time until the user gets the grasp of the site. That way you can easy tell if a user is new or not and hence guide them properly. You can also just set yourself a rep limit (I did something like that before the "new contributor advice") and guide the users who are under that limit. Nonetheless, being welcoming and gentle is something we should do everytime, everyday and with everybody. | |
| Dec 2, 2019 at 8:49 | comment | added | fedorqui Mod | I couldn't find any explicit documentation, but in many Meta.SE and Meta.SO posts I found references to First Posts involving just the very first post on a site. Checking on different users, this is indeed the case. | |
