Can $SITENAME$
be changed for Christianity? Here's what a comment to a new user reads:
Welcome to Christianity! ...
Which sounds pretty creepy. For one thing, most folks who stumble into the site are already affiliated with some faith, which might or might not be Christianity. For another, it sounds like we are a cult or a church. We aren't.
Could $SITENAME$
be changed to "Christianity—Stack Exchange" or "Christianity.SE"?
(I haven't tried to adjust the messages myself, but besides being a bit tedious, it probably would be best to not have new users of the script sending the wrong signals.)
It's less of a concern, but I think it would be odd to see messages like:
Welcome to English! ...
or
Welcome to Parenting! ...
I forked a version and made the following changes at line 67:
if(sitename == "Stack Exchange"){
sitename = arr[arr.length - 2]; //workaround for SE sites..
greeting = 'Welcome to ' + sitename + '—Stack Exchange! ';
sitename = sitename + '.SE';
}
That way, the "Answers just to say Thanks!" comment reads:
Welcome to Christianity—Stack Exchange! Please don't add "thanks" as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient privileges to upvote answers you like, which is the Christianity.SE way of saying thank you.
The same comment on SO reads:
Welcome to Stack Overflow! Please don't add "thanks" as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient privilegesprivileges to upvote answers you like, which is the Stack Overflow way of saying thank you.
