Default YT Welcoming Commitee

It seems to me that YT has gotten so bad with negative posters lately, and great members leaving because of it. I've been on for almost a year now, and its like it just keeps getting worse and worse. I'm to the point that I can't stand it. There is sooo much imformation and so many GREAT people on here and that is the only reason I have tried to bear with it, but its getting to be too much now.

I think A LOT of it has to do with the "clicks" here on YT as well. A lot of these women (or men) have formed great friendships on here, and that is awesome, but it makes it REALLY hard on newbies to feel like they fit in. There are constantly threads on "why didn't anyone respond?" or people who feel left out. Or, they get attacked on what they are asking. And I know some things are utterlly ridiculous, and there are a lot trolls out there, but there are also some people that are naive and maybe we just need to help!

So here is my idea....

We can start a sort of welcoming commitee for newbies to feel like they are apart of this board. Whenever there is a new member, we can send out PM's welcoming them in a little more personal way.

We can also have a list of members who specialize in certain things (breeding, feeding, toys, grooming etc.) so that way they at least have one person they can go to without getting wrong advice from others.

I'm not sure, but I want to do something to help others feel like they are not just a newbie, but they are an important member of this board.

So let me know what you think, if you have other ideas, PM me, and maybe we can set up our commitee and get this going.

BTW, please don't make this thread about the negative posts, or turn this into a discussion on why things are the way they are...this is purely for a YT Welcoming Commitee! Thank you!
