Also, yeah, makes sense. Hopefully this isn’t a horribly misplaced thread taking up people’s daily scrolling bandwidth with no commensurate payoff.
Maybe I’ll just say something here to cash out my impression of the “first post” intro-message in question: its language has seemed valuable to my mentality in writing a post so far.
Although, I think I got a mildly misleading first-impression about how serious the filter was. The first draft for a post I half-finished was a fictional explanatory dialogue involving a lot of extended metaphors… After reading that I had the mental image of getting banned immediately with a message like “oh, c’mon, did you even read the prompt?”
Still, that partially-mistaken mental frame made me go read more documentation on the editor and take a more serious approach to planning a post. A bit like a very mild temperature-drop shock to read “this is like a university application.”
I grok the intent, and I’m glad the community has these sorta norms. It seems likely to help my personal growth agenda on some dimensions.
Thanks anyway :)
