I have noticed lately several people "mass post" a generic "welcome" message to 2-4 entire pages of threads in the "Introductions" forum.
In doing this, threads from 1+ weeks ago are now at the top of the forum and brand new threads get pushed to pages 2-5+ and rarely get seen again. There are a lot of people here who actual read the posts and respond and acknowledge the new members which is excellent. However it seems there are a growing number who go thru pages and at a time writing a generic response and pushing new threads down to the bottom and old to the top.
Maybe set a higher interval between posts in this forum or even make posts not count towards postcount.
