I often welcome people to the forum, and if they seem interesting to me, I take good time and effort to give them a good and legitimate welcoming. I disagree heavily with this, and if you think that welcoming people into the forum is "spamming" then you're wrong. Besides, who gives a fuck if somebody chooses to welcome everyone and they by-accident or purposely do it to increase post count. Does post count matter to you? Is it a bad thing to want to welcome everyone?
