Jan 2, 2013 at 12:32 comment added slhck I don't know. I found active reviewing much more responsive when it comes to all the things one could do wrong—of which there are plenty. There are a lot of helpful messages next to the ask question box and when editing posts already. I could imagine something similar for answering, where there's currently nothing IIRC. I also like the idea of a sort of "tip of the day".
Jan 2, 2013 at 11:56 comment added nixda I see the point with "out of context". Some points to reply to that. 1) Show related FAQ. If someone edited 10 times maybe he want to know if there are some secret formatting goodies. 2) He shouldn't be forced to answer or read. A single click would dismiss it. Its only a chance to get some rep or badge. 3) No negative reputation for wrong answers. --- Of course this requires a lot of work and its hardly conceivable. But in a what-if assumption: What would you enhance?

Jan 2, 2013 at 10:12 comment added slhck I like your ideas, but I'm afraid the effort required to create this wouldn't pay off: It has been shown that out of context messages are often simply ignored (and "out of context" means that the person doesn't want to see this message at that point). If someone were interested in knowing more, they'd look it up, ask others here or in chat, et cetera. I believe we merely have to act on cases where we see people doing something wrong.
Jan 2, 2013 at 10:09 comment added slhck > I'm too lazy to do a search for FAQ or click the FAQ link on the right. – unfortunately, putting a wall of text in front of you isn't going to make this better. We have a site that explains How to Answer. You wouldn't believe how often that is skipped and ignored, and that's the first thing some will see. And it's not even a lot of text.

Jan 2, 2013 at 5:32 comment added Journeyman Geek Mod Just to note that the win image thing is a 'hack' - its not a 'standard' way of using the keyboard tag. And duplicates are often shown on the side.
