| Mar 2, 2018 at 23:18 | comment | added | SJuan76 | About your comment that "this only help when the user[...] in good faith", I think that it does not undermine the utility of the alert. If a user sees the alert and keeps posting a trolled question, then the alert at least gives the rest of us the peace of mind that the user has been warned beforehand and allows for a close vote without giving more warning in the comment. | |

But I do not know how much favour is needed to get that adapted and working here. On another beta-site this thing was requested a while ago and is still not there. Cf. this meta. In its default it's "generic, content-independent: capitalization, punctuation, length" | |
| Feb 21, 2018 at 20:56 | comment | added | T.E.D. Mod | @LangLangC - I don't know that it can look for keywords in the text. If it can do that, we'll be wanting another version that keys off of any present-tense English verbs too. :-) | |
| Feb 21, 2018 at 20:32 | comment | added | LаngLаngС | This would be an important addition. I am convinced that there are actors in good faith who just do not know any better, yet. Since this happens before a post goes live, it would save all involved a lot of trouble. But newbies often do not tag properly, so this has to look for keywords in bodytext as well. For future developments this should be on the list, even if it will accomplish almost nothing for pushers. | |
| Feb 21, 2018 at 19:56 | comment | added | T.E.D. Mod | Personally, I think this only helps when the user wants to participate properly in good faith, which is not the situation here. However, there are some other tags where this might be useful (eg: modern-history and prehistory, which are often used on out of scope questions). | |
