Applauds ModTwentyOne!!!! In this area I approach things differently, because people are new and often unsure how to approach things. Some have picked up bad habits of how to post from other arenas, thinking that it the way you are supposed to post. Yeah some may be trolls, but if they are ignored they usually go away. For me it comes down to 1) Welcome those that even on the surface seem sincere to introduce themselves 2) offer advice on how better introduce yourself and allow us to get to know them 3) Ignore trolls and scammers, they seek attention in some fashion and comments give them that, so even negative comments fulfill a troll or scammers goal. 4) Try and get others to treat this area a little differently by being welcoming. If this was in fact a physical place, this area would be the foyer where people say 'Hi welcome to CM. Glad you could join us." and the main areas would be where other things may happen. Leave the foyer open to the welcoming attitude and we may get more interesting posters here. Instead it has appeared to be an initiation line, which often turns even good posters off. Thanks again to the Mods for doing a good job!
