There needs to be some content, formal introductions are always boring & getting people interested just by introducing yourself is very rare & mostly luck based
How come random users make something engaging by introducing themselves? quite rare
they can just write it in their psot related to looksmax
why would someone bother reading intros of unknown new people
I don't get why this is bad & why would it change with introduction forum?
Hm well it doesn't have to be "Formal" per se, in my eyes it just has have a clear intention of effort. And i agree it wouldn't be particularly engaging, but atleast the original say "Spirit" of this forum was a very helpful community; people were quite eager to help. I suppose I'd like to believe people would still be like this.
But people being interested is something i disagree on, people on this forum are mostly bored and just want to engage on topic (The image i provided literally had like 2-3 pages of replies despite being objectively low effort & uninspiring.)
And users can make something quite inspiring, the ideal audience that im referencing would atleast give the forum a look to see what sort of content gains traction; understand the basic narrative. Pair that with some basic intuition and i don't see why they wouldn't be able to make a somewhat engaging first thread.
Your second point i already addressed.
(Your 3rd)
It's a single question that's just low effort and boring, OP could've atleast stated some other information about himself or try to seem more eager. But it's literally just one question. Why wouldn't a detailed "Road map" of their goals & interests be better?
I can already tell he's bound to be a low effort poster, and something like the introduction thread would've discouraged him to continue with account creation (Which is good).
Im sure if i asked my most favourable members what they'd think about them having to write out a basic introduction thread that's got just a little effort in it, they'd probably not take a problem with it.
Now if i asked the shit posting faggots i despise what they'd think about it i almost grantee it'd be strongly opposed.
Administrator should add the aforementioned, it'd be a good start for new users to introduce themselves and lay out their goals. You can't blame half the niggas for making low effort "Rate me" threads when there's nothing else truly familiar (To a tiktok audience). Ofc, it shouldn't appear in "New posts" tab since spam, but on the homepage for eager members to interact with new users. It'd also let people familiarise with forum navigation I'd imagine. Infact it'd be even better if it was a mandatory step in account creation; restricting forum access until a post is made. This would also serve as a extra net to filter out low effort shit posters.
