I appreciate that you try to be very welcoming to new users, but almost all of what we are supposed to do, we should do anyway, shouldn't we?

  • Be nice
  • Behave according to the CoC
  • Flag useless comments
  • Alert moderators if necessary

The only things new are:

  1. Edit their posts and better explain why. That's a good reminder, although that should be be done already (via edit comment). But an extra comment welcoming them and explaining it a bit more is fine.
  2. Voting. If it has value - yes. But why especially with new members - we should vote on the content, not the person. So I'm not sure this is really necessary. Maybe rather write a comment explaining the voting - but what if it's a DV? Even in this case?
