Welcome messages should feel like an arrival into the Archives, while still giving members useful information.
They may include:
- a warm greeting
- the member’s name or mention
- where to begin
- links to important public resources
- encouragement to introduce themselves or choose roles
Goodbye messages should remain simple and respectful.
Avoid departure messages that:
- publicly speculate about why someone left
- shame departing members
- encourage dogpiling or mockery
- expose moderation information
⚖️ Owner Guidelines
Keep welcome messages concise enough that repeated joins do not overwhelm a channel.
Use only channels intended for automated arrivals or departures.
Review variables after major Bleed updates.
Remove obsolete messages before replacing systems.
Do not place private moderation information into automated departure messages.
