1@P.Mort.-forgotClayShirky_q not sure if you're saying this in jest but IMO, we can have something like this. This can be tied to the gamification. system - you can have a short trivia-like game with questions like: "When is it appropriate to edit: a) when I want to say thanks b) when I notice a problem with the post". At the end, if the user got a good score that gets them some rep. And maybe badges This can be repeated to, say, 100 rep or so. Similar to how suggested edits give some rep but with a cap.VLAZ– VLAZ2021-08-02 08:13:45 +00:00Commented Aug 2, 2021 at 8:13

5There's something to this idea; the more I think about it the more it intrigues me. If we could incentivize them somehow to take a quiz, by giving them something they want, we might get away with it.Philippe– Philippe StaffMod2021-08-04 08:20:01 +00:00Commented Aug 4, 2021 at 8:20

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
