From a mechanical standpoint, +promote is working: - Multiple people are promoting new users - Global is free of spam - Spam has shifted to Chatter, where it is quickly stamped out well done mk! Which looks to be the source of friction. We do have a culture, and it is different from reddit. The different scales of the user bases pretty much force that. Getting everyone to post to #newtohubski as their first post would be neat. Might set the tone a bit for future interactions. Also a pipe dream without forcing people to do it.Are you still confused with any form of the system
or culture?
hell that's the whole point of the #newtohubski tag
I'm cool with forcing people to do it. I'm on a torrent site that, when you don't log in for too long, requires you to post a video of yourself doing the dougie. Holding people to one new tag for one new post isn't against the Geneva Convention. I think I've promoted 2-3 people.
People do far better at a task when they understand why they're doing it. That's the reason I won't vote for forcing people to post to #newtohubski. I would, however, vote for making primer the next step after finishing registration and including a paragraph or two about what to do next. Hubski isn't exactly common-sense for the tone set by an average Internet discussion. A bit of guidance can go a long way towards inclusion. Speaking of the primer: mk, the primer text runs out unexpectedly at this line: Doesn't seem planned.You can view all posts using the global feed. Exceptional content can be found under
