New Rule, Introductions Options

[Paradox of Life]

Yes, I think all of my suggestions are usually pieces of crap, but something that really ticks me off is that people copy and paste things in introductions and their post count continues to go up. Isn't that considered spam? I mean, you're just copy and pasting. Isn't that rude as well? Aren't newbies worth your time to write a personal response? I was thinking that maybe there could be a rule against copying and pasting

'Welcome to CB! Have fun!'

on every single topic. I mean look at this:



Within the same 10 minutes you can rack up 11 posts by just copying and pasting an impersonal reply. And this person was so lazy, they copy and pasted SOMEONE ELSE'S welcome on every single topic.

Original (also copy and pasted):

Copy:


Should we just make it so posts don't count in Introductions or just make a rule against copying and pasting responses?

oh i just thought of something coming to this subject.. yeah you know it the staff postitions for people staff well i'll quote it--

People Staff: Are you a people person? Then this is a job for you! Responsibilities include moderating the community center, welcoming newbies, making interesting topics, and being nice and helpful in general.

so keep in mind, welcoming newbies is part of the "people staff" position.

but so we don't consider our staff members, making spam or anybody else, i agree with the post count, on the other hand when a newbie first gets to make a post about thereselfs, its like there first post (if you get what i mean) anyways i hope i contributed to this in a good way.
