Onboarding is hard and "discovering" gems among people is even harder... So, if your onboard ratio is more than 5%, you made it! I suck at onboarding and I have no idea where I would even begin, but I know that not everyone is successful in what it's doing... So, in your place, I wouldn't be discouraged by negative people, but rather focus on those few who are worth your time...

To actually onboard someone unique, those who post without "a template" is challenging.
I've seen that some people around here post with some type of templates when they're onboarded by someone. It's not my goal and it has been really challenging given than well, some standards from around here usually isn't the same as out there. ( I never work here locally and because this event, I learned something new). As much as some are common sense there are some of the things that are still vague, like pictures sourcing etc.
I tend to be slight perfectionist haha and it's a character flaw I am trying to improve. You know, maybe sometimes good enough is good enough.
What irritates me the most is the lack of "common sense"... If I have to explain to someone that you have to appreciate the person who came to your post and spent some time on it, I snap and can't continue... lol... Or the question: "Do I have to reply on the comment from my post?" Like... wtf? Why would you even ask that question... 😃
I suppose because of all those reasons, I suck on onboarding... 😂
As I think that I'm in your "band" of perfectionists, I don't have any high expectations of newbies... Rewarding the effort and a good attitude is a good start, I suppose... We all have room for growth... that's the point to be better every next day...
