It should offer to send a PM or a Notification instead of a new topic because that's increasing database when PMs & Notifications must be/are purged regularly.

Like this : viewtopic.php?f=456&t=2247431&hilit=welcome+pm ?

Privare messages are "Private" therefore nobody can see them except user himself. The goal of this extension is to socialize welcoming messages by providing others chance to send welcoming posts in defined topics.
As meis2m said there isnt sensible resource usage in borh cases

P.S: You can use forum prune options to limit number of topics in each forum.

It always seems to post from the user rather than the "Robot: username of poster" option entered.

Maybe "Automatic post : welcome xxxx" and make the new member to be notified of new answers for this post.
