Reminder: Making New Members Feel Welcome

Hello everyone,

It has been brought again and again to our attention that new members are not feeling welcome and feel that if they say something they might be sidelined.

As the forum sets about to welcome some new members, please refresh yourself on the following rules:

Because of this we would like to implement some new measures to assist new members in feeling welcome to the CID forum and becoming included:

• If you have a problem with something someone has said, report it and leave it. Do NOT reply to it. Replying to it will bring you under the radar as well. I know there's a time difference, but give me 24 hours from the time of your report to look into the matter, before escalating it.
• If you don't like what someone has written or created, you are welcome to provide constructive criticism to help them improve, but please don't make comments that would make them feel unwelcome such as "no one's going to like that".
• All CID forum members please feel free to PM me with any issues. I'm an active CID forum member, but at the same time I'm the viewbie of this forum and always approachable for everyone.

We hope new members and older members of this forum will feel welcome to discuss whatever they want without having to deal with repercussions of any sort.

Regards,

CID DT
