WELCOME EMAIL : SHOULD APPROVER NAME BE SHOWN?


[+] ballot by LCD
created Tue Dec 19, 06

the new and improved login process sends a welcome email to the new user, with their user name, password, and various information for starting out.

It also shows them who welcome them into BW family, basically who approved their user application.

some pointed out that this may not be a good idea.
I thought it would be a good way to welcome in someone, so they would at least know one person on the site.

what say U?

good idea
bad idea
I don't care either way

given that some users end up becoming abusive, the less they know about the process and who approved what, who blocked what and stuff like that, the better. at least in my opinion.

i noticed that main targets of the attacks were maintainers so highlighting who is and who is not is maybe not the best thing right now.

I don't know

How about if the new user has a certain color dot or something for their first two or three comments or posts, so that we know they are new and we can welcome them ourselves?

I'm not sure what the point would be. Perhaps an automated welcome from LCD himself would be better.

Sounds sane to me.

I'm still not getting the point about why it is necessary to list the user who approved the registration.
by FiddleFaddleOnLSD on Tue Dec 19, 06 8:16pm [+]

okay if it such an issue, I will simply make it an option. I would personally like the user to know that I am the one who welcome them to the site. but each to his own....
