I'm not sure if locking or stickying threads on Wiki is a Thing, either; I'm more used to traditional BBCode and HTML formats. A thread and a link from the auto-message might work; but do you think a thread with rules and links would be helpful, or would it just discourage people from exploring the Wiki for themselves? After sleeping on it, I like the idea, but don't know how practical it would actually be - we already have pages on policies, guidelines...just about everything really, that aren't too hard to find. Then again, my main language is English, which is the same as the Wiki, so of course it's "easy" for me to find and understand. It might be much harder for others, and I don't have a practical solution to that right now. To that end, maybe a Read Me thread would be better implemented after we've sorted out the Policies and Proposed Policies.

Moving on! A board just to say hi would be great - a board, a thread, any place would work really. My hope is that it'll shift some weight onto non-Modly shoulders, so that it's easier for non-Mods to spot the newbies and help them out, if needed. (I thought about sifting through the Wiki edits to find new people and saying hi, but was worried that it might scare some of them off. I sometimes forget that most people aren't as chatty as I am.) Obviously we should help out anyone else who needs it as well, but it looks like most of us try to do that already, so that's a +1.

Best Friends Forever is ideal, haha. If only encouragement and overall tone were easier in text, we all might be! (Please tell me I'm not the only one who struggles with that.) And yeah, I came around right about the time you got promoted again, I think. Good luck to you too, particularly with your dream of having no Modly work to do :)
