Question

One of our user @RolyPoly has a suggestion.
Instead of posting "swapping answers is illegal" in different groups, why don't we just add a warning message right after "Ask a question..." in the open question box, or anywhere which is clearly visible to the users?

@Preetha

Answer 3

Nice

Answer 4

Answer 5

great idea @hartnn

Answer 6

Right next to that "Current Subject: bla" thing, but bold and perhaps even red.

Answer 7

I'm not sure if a lot of users would bother to read it, but I think it would be a good addition.

Answer 8

@♪Chibiterasu Yes, getting people to read it can be hard. That was why I said red might be good. Also, being careful about the wording might help. Hard to find the correct phrase.

Answer 9

@e.mccormick Yes, it is important to check how you word it so that users who are usually new or don't engage very often get confused and find it confusing and/or offensive.

Answer 10

good idea

Answer 11

I agree

Answer 12

@♪Chibiterasu even if they don't read it they have no reason to say I didn't know, especially if it stands out. It's like bringing something to school you shouldn't and saying you didn't know

Answer 13

liked it...

Answer 14

phrasing: "eric is watching you... now no cheating" ...?

Answer 15

Nah, "The Purple People are watching and carry a ban hammer, so no cheating!" is better than that one.

Answer 16

Answer 18

after all, the definition of a lock: a device used to keep honest people out.

Answer 19

Answer 21

It's a GOOD IDEA. But Will it happen is the question?
