You n00b! Read the rules! :mad:

Everyone should wish the newcomer a great time on HLP, everyone.

Yes, but he shouldn't need more then one beam. It helps to prevent spamming of welcomes.
if everyone welcomed him, we would be spammed rainbows of beams, and not to mention put thousands of holes in the HLP station.

3+ beams per topic weren't rare a few months ago. There's no spamming.

However, spamming is what you two are doing right now with this pointless debate. I'd suggest stopping before a mod looks this way... :nervous:

Sigh... not this again.

The rules? Oh, you mean the ones that no one approves. Except you. And I think it's enough when one of us represents the whole community when welcoming a new guy.

But eventually the excess beaming causes a problem. People focus too much on beaming and welcoming and forget to actually see if the new guy was asking a question that needs to be answered.
