No need to get all mad and type in bold. Yes, scrolling has become a chore. Thanks. That suggestion isn't what I was asking for because it blocks the whole forum from the search, when I only wanted to block the canned spam.

Wow! I've missed a lot! After reading all of these different views I'm a little suprised. I think a big problem here is that many don't realize we (greeter's) do this becuase we like it. I was just telling Don how I was having some "sad moments" looking at all the houses destroyed by Frances and couldn't wait to greet some new members to make me feel better. I guess being a greeter makes me selfish. I like the way I feel when I hear about how excited a new member is or a newbie diver getting ready to get their certification. Some have cookie cutter greetings, I'll agree, but their hearts are in the right place. I'm always happy to see other members greeting new members, it's a beautiful thing. Badge or no badge I'll continue to greet. Remember, no one makes any of us do anything, we do it because we want to.
Cheers,
Vickie
 
Vickie and her family were at Ground Zero for Frances, everything in her home soaked, and the shelter they were in was damged so badly that it was comdemed. :peepwalla Glad they didn't need it for Ivan. But she did tell me as she was packing for the shelter that she was taking her computer, so I guess she saved it. She got internet back today, and pop: There she is, greeting new Intros. Her hubby, Darrell, also on the Team, is still doing his Sherriff's Deputy thing, but I bet he'll be back when he can.

I have been thinking lately of how luck I have been to have recruited such a nice bunch of folks, as everyone on the Team is indeed super people. It finally dawned on me :idea: that my lucky was starting right. Long before there was a Team, I PMed members who I had noticed greeting new members - simply because they wanted to, it should be done, and they wanted to do it - about serving as designated greetrs for when a new Intro might pass by with less than 5 welcomes. I simply started with great people, the best way to get a great team.

It'd be super if everyone who posted on SB would greet just one new Intro every day they logged in, but until that surprisingly happens, I am grateful for a great team. :medal:

BTW, we are taking requests for a new name, other than Greeter. Yet, we want new members to know that we are very approachable, if they need any help with learning SB, so it's got to be as friendly, if not as corny...? :526:

Sorry, I excite easily.

Yeah, I do love the little electronic arrow buttons on my notebook - no worries about pulling a finger on the scroll wheel. Nice feature to have.

WoW kayla. . .I remember when you were just new. You already have 1000 posts!

Yep, Kayla is a wonderful part of the team. None of us greet every new intro, but she helps make sure that every new one does get a good greeting. Wish more members were as nice as her.


I've been thinking about my "standard greetings," and no one on the team wants to seem insincere, as the team is made of pretty sincere people. But I have gone back to using variations of a standard one, so I don't forget to convey some information that seems important for me to offer. I'll certainly personalize it for the respective Introductions, but when the new Intro is not really an Intro - what more can I say?

I guess there are two good options for anyone who doesn't like my work:

1-Don't read it; and/or

2-Post better greetings yourself.

Have you greeted a new Intro today?
 
Nah Don, Im all for your greets. I like to go into there and greet everyonce in awhile. Sometimes my name will be from top to bottom in most recent replies. But anyway, I dont blame you for copying and pasting, theres only so many ways you can greet someone lol. I guess you could greet them backwards. . . . . . .Board the to welcome
