| May 19, 2013 at 20:37 | comment | added | Tim Brigham | @Ward - that is exactly why I suggest targeting the anonymous / first time users. I always try to get a feel for a new community before I join in. Requiring at least a minimum amount of familiarity doesn't seem too extreme to me. Frankly I think all of the stack exchange sites would benefit from a policy like this. | |
| May 19, 2013 at 17:11 | comment | added | Ward - Trying Codidact Mod | The idea of tests before allowing people to post (or possibly after they've made some bad posts) has come up regularly on meta.SO and is always shot down. The thinking is that there are already enough pointers to "how to ask" and "here's the FAQ" so a test would just irritate the good askers. | |
| May 19, 2013 at 15:47 | comment | added | Sven | I am thinking about the same thing for a while. The problem is that this is the exact opposite of SE's fundamental premise that anyone can ask, without registration or any other obstacle. It's obvious that this isn't working so well, at least on SF, but I don't see the company change this for our site. | |
