"New Member" Global Announcement
I'd like to see a global announcement on all threads stickied at the top, addressed to new forum members. In it a mod could list some links to common questions (links to FAQ section, for example). Most of all, I'd like to see the reminder: before you ask your question, please try the search function first.

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
Is it true that alot of these van have their steering wheel on the wrong side?
Are they really from Japan?
Also the 4x4 means all the wheels turn at the same time?
Sorry had to do it
I agree fully Pinkfingers, but its great how nice to see repeated and remarkable acts patience and diplomacy are displayed,
when there are so many four letter words so readily available on most keyboards!
Thanks to all Global moderators and Administrators!
Delica.ca is right on

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
Pink, that sounds like a good idea. I will talk to Mark on this to make sure all is copasetic.
What else should we put on this Global Announcement? Perhaps information about Delica Wiki? I know I post that a lot on member introductions. There is information about much of what Luna is alluding to on the opening page... but who ever reads that stuff !

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
The announcement I want to see on the very top is 'A War Against Over Quoting' because it is getting ridiculous and nobody says a word against it.

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
Among other things, maybe state, "These topics come up very frequently" and list all the common topics with either links and / or the request for them to use the search function. ('Cause they've all been answered before)FalcoColumbarius wrote:

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
Sounds good to me -- let's think of themes that should be touched on...
Pinkfingers -- "Search before Posting New Thread" and "FAQs"
Profister -- "War on Overquoting"
Falco -- "Wiki" mention"
Anything else?

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
"New Member Start Pack" could be a good title.

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
I think a brief tutorial regarding posting in the correct forum might be a good item to add.

Re: "New Member" Global Announcement
Another issue that was brought to my attention today by PM relates to forum spamming (and what to do to combat it). Probably a note on this ought to be included in any "general announcement."
