Welcome to Gaia! ::

just wait up for the broadcast feature and warn everyone that if they don't make a post at least in the aquarium page that we have a right to kick them out, lest you want to do this normally ... wast of time and if you kick folk out without a reason and pm explaining the reason it's against the TOS rules so just give it a wait, they're bulk for now

Have you decided what to do yet? It's like 12 pages of 0 posts now out of 20. Yikes.

Whenever I join a guild I at least try to post once that first day; I can't believe that many people didn't at least introduce themselves. If people are busy and/or belong to a bunch of guilds like I do, it's tough to always be active so what I do is try to visit all my guilds periodically and post to stay active.

Eno, the mass broadcast thing you're talking about, is that when you ban people and include a message telling them if they want to rejoin to let us know?

I don't like the idea of the mass banning thing either, kod. We could split up the 0 post members between all of us mods and we could each send a dozen pms or whatever it takes to give people a chance to post before we ban them.

If the pm method isn't successful, then we ban them. Any thoughts?

I just had another idea, maybe you should take all of the threads for new members, like Rules and Guidelines, Introduction thread, Banners for Sigs, etc. and put them in a new subforum called "Start Here" or something...having them scattered in General Discussion and Chattertank probably isn't the best way for people to find those helpful threads. Making them more visible could help coax new members to post. biggrin
