The "Fast Reply" button was disabled to prevent short postings from users who have hardly read the whole introduction post. A more effeicent mesaure would be to turn of the posting counter for this particular board. Maybe it would encourage the users to take more time for the introduction post.

Sad panda that I am I try and read all the forum posts, including the Introductions and Welcomes and so I think I have a reasonable overview of the forum.

My personal opinion here...

- I agree with Berko. If someone wants to add a welcome, belated or otherwise, then I don't see any real harm in it.

To me generally however quality is more interesting than quantity. The posts that tend to catch my attention tend to be ones that contribute something meaningful. If they don't then they tend to wash over me (apart from any that need me to put my moderator's hat on wink.gif ). Similarly I tend nowadays to try to contribute where I think I can add something or answer a specific question. So I don't usually add a welcome unless I'm answering a new member's question (or maybe I'm just an anti-social hermit ohmy.gif ). Nonetheless I don't see an issue with people saying 'hi'.
