Forum:Welcome Message

I have been thinking of including the Chat policy and information about the required amount of edits to access the chat in the automated message that welcomes new users. We seem to get a lot of users on the chat that aren't even aware of the policy. At least by including the Chat policy in the automated message, that should cut down maybe half of the users that go on the chat without knowledge of the policy. Usually when someone goes on the chat without the required number of edits, the Chat Mods have to explain to them the rules of the Chat policy and why they have to leave. I know that this is exhausting the Chat Mods, having to explain this over and over again, so I think including this in the automated message well help things go more smoothly on the chat and for the Chat Mods. 19:31, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
