What's wrong with welcoming new members? It made me feel great to be welcomed by so many people. And what's the big deal with how many post counts you get? Who cares?What's up with people posting 15 welcomes to new members? I mean it's nice to be friendly, but there's one member I see who must post 90% of their posts in the new member section.
I seriously think there are a few people trying to increase their posts by saying "welcome to the forum" in every single new member post. It seems strange when today I look in that section, and see that between all the posts, there are only three usernames in the replys......
Am I over reacting?
Yes.... but it still bugs me. It seems like people try to raise their "standing" without actually contributing much to the furum itself.

Chad, your details say that you are a
marine and a fireman. These are two of the most respected and honored professions a man can have and I highly respect anyone who would put their life on the line in everything they're involved in.
With that said, I think it is a shame that someone with your background would lower themselves to the status of a whiner. You only demean yourself by doing that.
As for me, I say live and let live. And I will continue to welcome new members until the ADMINISTRATOR tells me to stop.
