How do you welcome new contributors to WikiAnswers?
One way is to join the Community Outreach program and become a WikiGuide Greeter. WikiGuides have access to a list of new contributors. They go to the new contributor's message board and welcome them to the site. Community Outreach has an ongoing WikiGuide contest, with a prize each month for the WikiGuide who greets the most new contributors. For more information on joining Community Outreach and becoming a WikiGuide, you can contact Robin at robin @ wikianswers.com (remove the spaces) or leave a message on her message board.
How do you paste badges on a user's message board?
Community Outreach has several graphics for WikiGuides to use in their Community Outreach messages. When you become a WikiGuide, you are provided with a document entitled "How To Be A WikiGuide." The links to those graphics as well as instructions on how to insert them into messages is in that document. If you are a member of Community Outreach or are interested in becoming a WikiGuide, you may also email communityoutreach @ wikianswers.com (no spaces) for a new copy of "How To Be A WikiGuide."

What is the chatting policy on the WikiAnswers message boards?
Chatting on Message BoardsIn the past, idle chatter on the WikiAnswers' user message boards was frowned upon, and in extreme cases, received a block from using WikiAnswers' services at all - particularly if the user(s) involved made no real contribution to the WikiAnswers Q&A or community. Now, chatting is allowable on user message boards, except for extremes - which may receive the attention of a Supervisor with a warning message. WikiAnswers was not intended to be used as an IM (instant messaging) service all day long, so that would be an extreme. However, we would still like to have you participate and contribute quality answers or contributions to the site! Community is a part of WikiAnswers.
