Welcoming and warning users
Hi Sperosdurell,

I know you mean well, but I just wanted to drop you a quick note regarding a couple of things:


 * 1) Welcoming users. Please do not welcome users to Meta Wiki unless they have made editing contributions to Meta Wiki. The reason for this is rather simple, though wasn't obvious to me at first either:  we have a lot of spam only accounts, alternate accounts, and even vandalism only accounts who never contribute to Meta Wiki. There is no need to welcome them to Meta Wiki for obvious reasons
 * 2) Warning users. Please do not warn users as a Meta administrator would. Additionally, do not warn them about potential Username Policy violations. If you have something to report regarding local vandalism or disruption, you can use Administrators' noticeboard, but you're strongly encouraged to use IRC in the  channel or to use Discord in the   as it's much quicker and saves us having to respond to your report using wikitext markup. If you need to report a Username Policy violation, or a potential one rather, please see stewards' noticeboard, but again preference is to use  on IRC for the preceding reason

Thanks so much! :)

Cheers,
