I kinda know what Joe is talking about. Back in 2014, we had a running joke that most of the people who made hello blogs turned out to be socks, and that pretty much none of the wiki's most prominent users started their days here with a hello blog, or any type of hello comment.

That's not to say that every person who made a hello blog turned out to be a sock, just most of them. So making a hello blog was immediately seen as suspicious by myself and a few others.

That said, we obviously still have to give every new user the benefit of the doubt and not make them feel unwelcome.
