@MatsK I don't think making people welcome is a moderator issue, more of a question for all of the frequent posters. Anyone here can say "welcome!" to a new poster. People new to SE won't even know what a moderator is. As I said in my nomination post I "have tried to not be overly harsh on closing questions from enthusiastic beginners".
