The welcome email for newbies

[weasel]

As you may be aware I've been toying with the idea of drafting up a welcome email for Edd to send to all newbies when their registrations are confirmed. The idea was to include a few basics, a link to the introductory thread, how to list if you're just joining to sell, and how to post pictures, as well as possibly a few other hints along the lines of what some abbreviations mean and what not to say.

Anyone any other suggestions as what we should include?
Bear in mind that if we bombard them with 600 links/hints/tips they won't read them or we'll scare them off.

PS obviously anyone who ignores the mail and posts a list of stupidly priced modern shite will be banned and you can all tell them how much you like them.

Forum FAQ

If you would like to show us all some pics of your collection, we would love to see them in here. But you are certainly not obliged to share.

If you have any other questions at all, about forum protocol, you can contact admin or one of the moderators here



We hope you enjoy your stay.


Obviously now the mods come up with a set of rules in regards to posting...ie about flaming, racist comments etc etc, and then either sticky that in this section, or make a new section above vintage collecting chat specifically for it.
Of course add a link to it in the welcome message also. :wink:

Dear Newbie, Scammer, Whackjob or Han Duo.

welcome to SWFUK,, although as them name might suggest ,it's more tits with black squares on the nipples and photos of obscenely obese ladies smearing marmalade on themselves.

Now obviously your are here to sell the motherload your recently found in your attic/garage/crack den.
Or perhaps you are trying to flog off Jar Jar binks logoed vibrators, Bobba watches, ewoks or some other miscelany of bullshit YOU thought we might go for.
We if its the former we will probably ask for photos that dont look like cctv grab shots from a petrol station robbery,so please lay off the glue while taking the pics.
If they are worth something we will give you a fair appraisal based on our collective knowledge and current prices, some members may e-mail you offering money or sexual favours for them,, if they do and thats your thing sell them to them.

However if they are not worth as much as the yacht,mail order brides and gold codpiece you have already purchased with the speculative proceeds,, then you are welcome to go to that other guy in a shop that always tells people they are worth £1.7 million even without weapons and limbs.
And there you can sell them to him and politely **** yourself.

If however you are a whackjob who needs attention and good knows why you chose here,, please try the following to get more notoriety:

Buy a nice fast yellow jap motor bike,, drive it naked to a large event say the olympics, wear a large red snapper fish on your head,, nail your left testicle/ovary to the side of you head and sing barry manilow full pelt through a loudhailer while soiling yourself,, all this while running at full throttle into a soild object directly in front of the cameras,, soild objects could include (but not exclusively) a bus, a wall, a granstand, adele, a portaloo or a elephant.

But if you prefer to stay, be prepared to endure similar trauma, but in more of a pyshcologial vein.

Now sit back and enjoy the site,, who knows you might even get to talk about Star Wars.

yours the Admins.



Yep that should do it.
