Forum:SH Archive/Removing welcome messages

Right, this is far from a big issue, but I've seen lots of people - well, a couple - get their knickers in a twist when a user removes the welcome message from his or own user talk page. They tend to revert the removal and leave a warning for removing content from talk pages, going so far as to threaten them with blocks (whether or not they have the power to directly carry out that threat). Example. This is&hellip;quite unnecessary and may well scare some people away from the site. So can we please let people remove welcome messages, assume that by removing the template they've noticed it and are aware of the gist of the policies, and find something better to do? -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 15:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
