on Soup we have 3 main greeters Anne Lise Skat and PD
I list below their individual greets

A nice warm WELCOME to poetry soup. I hope you have fun with this wonderful community. You'll find many friendly poets who are ready to support and give positive feedback. I will enjoy following you and your poetry when you are ready :) We are Lucky To Have you. Enjoy Poetry Soup:) Your New Poet Friend PD

That's a wonderful poem (new poet's name or id), Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT

and Dave often uses the following

- Hello new member: Gavin - Welcome to P-Soup. - Thank you for choosing to share your poem here with us. - I look forward to reading more in the future. - Have a good time and I wish you good luck. - (Give and receive comments) - / / Anne-Lise :)

just some suggestions each greeter can use their own words
I suggest 3 is a good number it works best if 1 is in the Far East, one in Europe and one in states / Canada
At the same time anyone can still help and encourage
when I first came here the leader board flew so fast that a new poem
would be under the first advert in an hour or so and on to the 2nd page by end of day at latest.

I would love to be able to get more involved but due to running back to back contests on Soup I have little spare time once I have done my own commenting and writing. Yet I have a special place in my heart for CS as it is here I took my first stumbling steps and do look in from time to time

Please all of you make CS a place of welcome and encouragement once more
