Aug 23, 2018 at 10:09 comment added Adriaan I'd go with the analogy of a "Bad road surface" sign, since that's really just a lazy way of not-fixing the road but pulling your hands off instead, otherwise great analogy and good observations about the UV and accepts from new users. I answer in a relatively small tag for a university-paid programming language, so each semester there are new student coming here. Accepts are a rare sight, and every now and then OPs even delete their question when they get their answer out of fear of being discovered by the teacher.
Aug 23, 2018 at 10:04 comment added Melebius I agree with this notice, the current signs look more like ads to the CoC than anything else. However, “show them the ropes” is something I cannot understand. I know each of the words but have no idea (without Google…) what the idiom means. Please take into account that many users don’t have English as their native language.

Corrected spelling, add some comas for clarity.

Aug 19, 2018 at 23:21 comment added Jeffrey Bosboom Along with reducing the answer rate, I think it will also reduce the chances of getting a helpful comment, because I've learned that new users are much more likely than experienced users to respond negatively to feedback.
