| Feb 6, 2017 at 23:41 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | If you just want to keep this noise away from SO, I suspect that immediate blocking may be less effective than delayed removal, simply because immediate feedback will let the users trying to post these non-answers tweak them until they get past the filter. If instead you're hoping to actually teach these users how to use SO properly, I suspect that will take more than just an error message. Remember, we're talking about users who, for whatever reason, are confused enough to try to post a question as an answer. To them, an error message just looks like an arbitrary obstacle to get around. | |
