How often do you welcome new jellies when you see them join?

I don’t say anything. But I am a lurve machine with new people. The first hit is free.

I try to send them a comment welcoming them to fluther when I see someone new join the collective. No one sent me a comment welcoming me to fluther right away, but I did get a few “welcome to fluther” after contributing for a week. The first comment I got welcoming me was from jonsblond.

Always.

Oh, I forgot to mention, it was Astrochuck who greeted me. :-)

If I notice a newcomer in a thread (and they’re not a troll or something), I always welcome them in the thread. Sometimes via PM, too, if I happen to notice that they’re awesome! Note: Since I’m not as active in the questions as I am behind the scenes these days, I often don’t recognize the awesomeness until it’s too late to ‘welcome’. :(

I always greet everyone with less than 50 lurve. I’m also promiscuous with lurve for newbies.

If I see one who is having a little trouble doing things right, I’ll drop them a PM and add them.

Any time I notice them when answering a question.

I try to, but filmfann usually beats me to it. He would make a great Walmart greeter. ;)

I usually send a pm to someone new if I feel they are being treated a bit unfairly (that’s if they are not a troll, they just don’t know the ways of fluther yet).

I believe it was augustlan and jca that were the first to welcome me. They were very kind to me.

@Seaofclouds :D

If I’m answering a question from a Flutherite and I see that their lurve score is low, less than 100 for example, I surmise that they are new to the collective and I try to welcome each time I encounter them for the first time.

@Bluefreedom I went to welcome someone this morning that had less than 100 lurve. When I clicked on their profile I noticed they have been here longer than me! I’m glad I checked. :)

@jonsblond. I wonder if I’ve ever encountered that in the past. Maybe I should start checking too. =)

I only do it on Chat, if I check and notice that the person has less than 30 lurve. I still don’t feel like I’ve been here long enough to be welcoming people though.

I can’t remember if anyone greeted me when I joined, I don’t think they did, but I tend to make a habit of turning up and pretending I’ve been at the party for ages.

I rarely tell them welcome to Fluther and only when the answer is good. You know’s who’s good at this though? Filmfann.

@iphigeneia Welcome to the collective! Better late, than never. :)
