[Suggestion] PM at join

[Quinn]

Its really pissing me off when people don't even know what winrar is, so What I propose is when new members join, give them a welcome PM with info that they need.

Maybe something like this:

That might be a good idea except people might not read the pm. Whenever I sign up on a site I just ignore the welcome pm if they have one.

You need to make it mandatory to read it somehow

I can add that mod easily. I think we could add global links to it, since not everyone joins for H3.

I know, but you gotta admit probably 90% of people do

[PREPPY DIABLO]

great idea. +imaginary rep

[Decatur]

you should do links to them to...

like

[url=winrarurl]winrar[/url

[Dataanti]

maybe popups 1 word at a time when u first join XD

[iBotPeaches]

Yeah that seems smart. Please don't contribute unnecessary ideas.

[Justrec]

I ignore welcome PMs...

[T3A guy]

my third recycled idea

[lostmodz26]

Sounds like a good idea, and it wouldn't hurt to add it in.

Pwned

I forgot, don't tell them to download winrar, Download 7-zip. Anyone of you who have tried it would agree.

FAQ might be helpful, most people don't read them tho.

Man,that's like instructions no one ever reads them until there ******.

 

I think a PM is the way to go people might not notice it though.

I think as soon as you join and log in for the first time you sould be auto re-directed to the PM/Message somehow

[Korupt Data]

Well if people ignore it, and ask what they need to mod then just refer them back to the pm...
