[[求助与讨论]] Welcome "or" welcomed?

As a polite comment to \"Thank you\" one sure says \"You are welcome\".
And what if I would like to say \"You are welcome\" to somebody as a kind of
greeting? Would it go like that or rather \"You are welcomed\"?
By the way, when addressing the students, should I say \"All new ideas are
welcome\" or rather \"All new ideas are welcomed\"?
