Mew 101 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Adoption Central© For all you new members:Adoption is about gaining a friend and guardian. Your adopter will help you out when you're in trouble, give you advice on how to act on the boards and be a good friend overall. Trust your adopter, listen to what he/she tells you and follow the advices you're given. If you find yourself in trouble and don’t know what to do, just talk to your adopter. If you feel wrongfully accused of breaking the rules, ask your adopter for support. For those interested in becoming adopters;Adopting a new member is a great responsibility. Not only are you to act as a supportive friend at all times, you are also to teach this newbie how to behave on the forums and make sure they stay out of trouble. You shape the forum users of the future! So, before you apply to become an adopter, think it through. Are you able to be online often and help your newbie whenever needed? Can you keep a friendly tone even if your newbie doesn't understand the first times and needs more help?Will you protect your newbie if it gets in trouble, no matter what?Can you set a good example for your newbie? ~~ RULES ~~ ~ Adoptees ~Member from 1 day to 2 months/If you're still very uncertain about what YCM© is and how it works. Request to be adopted here and tell a bit about yourself. ~ Conditions for potential Adopters ~ When you apply to be an adopter, bear in mind that the mods will be judging you not only on your people skills, but how you conduct yourself on the forums in general.This includes a general good use of spelling, grammar and detailed posts.Remember, as an adopter, you are an example to your adoptee, so it's no good to make a member who is spammy an adopter, as the new member will not be encouraged to be the best they can be.Also - don't try to be sneaky and PM a mod with a perfect message with correct spelling and grammar if you do not post like that normally, as the mods will also check your past posts to make sure your posting style is acceptable. ~ Conditions for Adopting ~You must be a member for at least 1 full months, unless you're me. (Join on January 1st, you get to apply on April 1st.) Minimum of 50 posts. In order to adopt, send Me or a mod(Mod's will soon see this) a PM where you explain why you want to be an adopter and why you think you’re suited for it. Name the PM “Why I want to adopt” or something similar. Once the PM is received, we'll look it through. If we find you suited for adoption (this is judged by your behaviour on the boards), you can go ahead and adopt. If we for some reason think you are not suited for adoption, we will let you know why, so you can change and maybe be able to adopt later. If you're rejected by one mod, do not go to the other and ask. If we notice this happening, you'll be rewarded with a warning and your right to adopt will be removed. You’re only able to adopt one newbie every two weeks. If there's a lot of new members and no one that offers adoption, you may take more than so. Use common sense. Maximum of 2 newbies/adopter. Don't take more newbies than you can handle. Newbies are not toys. Think of them as little forum users. Guard your newbie, help him/her out and be a good parent. ~ Chat ~When you want to be adopted, say so in this thread. When you have been approved of adopting, say so in this thread. When you want to show that you're still available for Adoption/Adopting, you might, in some cases, post in this thread. No ranting though, please. When you feel that your newbie is ready to take on the world of YCM on its own, say so in this thread When you want to joke around or chat with your new member, use PM. When you want to talk to someone in this thread, use PM. Please ONLY use this thread for informing, no chat. ~~ | ~~ List of Approved Adopters:Dark Link!!!!!!

The Slime Lord Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 There was a thread similar once. It was more of "Make Friends" thread instead of a "Adopt a Newb" thread. (not n00b, newb. There is a difference). That thread just kinda died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Slime Lord Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I was making a point. My point being that something similar has been done before. I don't know exactly how long it was alive, but it died eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
