| May 4, 2018 at 4:00 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I agree that improving the instructions should be done. I disagree about this tactic substantially improving the reputation of MathOverflow, or improving the feel or experience of most new users because most new users (especially those of the type Federico wants to discourage) do not read the instructions. There is a hope they read the answers and comments, and if those are phrased well, the answers and comments may be more effective than the instructions.

| May 2, 2018 at 14:21 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | This suggestion seems related to some of the points you raised in your post: Should users be shown some basic information before posting the first question? | |
