    Moderators constantly review Articles that should be Tips/Tricks (modest little pieces of code, sometimes with much to be modest about) or Projects ("this repository is the cat's ass and does <cursory description> <link>"). If the page where you land after clicking the home page's "POST AN ARTICLE[^]" was beefed up to explain what is expected in this regard, a lot of wasted time might be saved.

      Article is the default... if it weren't, it probably would reduce the amount too. Either empty option and forcing the selection of one, or directly Tip/Trick as default and forcing the active selection of "article". This way no poster could say: "I didn't see/know it" Maybe post it in the B&S Forum?

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Yes, like the popup in QA that tells people not to post their homework. These warnings are like speed limit signs, only of interest to people who are interested.

          On the other hand, it's easier to punish people for breaking the speed limit when they've ignored a sign than it would be if there was no sign. :)

            This is why we have the moderation queue. I'm sorry to say that no one reads instructions. This is a moderation problem, I'm sorry to say, not a signage issue.

            cheers Chris Maunder
