| Oct 3, 2017 at 12:47 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @gnat correct, but we have no idea how long that wait will be. | |
| Oct 3, 2017 at 8:45 | comment | added | gnat | @MonicaCellio speaking of comment-only lock, my understanding of this SE team report is that it's "on wait list to get built" | |
| Oct 3, 2017 at 6:54 | comment | added | Erik | @JoeStrazzere I've found post notices to be a rare enough occurence that I always to see which one it is. And because they're never ad-hoc, reading 3 words is enough to jog your memory about why they put it up. | |

| Oct 2, 2017 at 18:30 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | Yeah, we've asked for the ability to pin a comment (making it always visible and prominent), which would allow for ad-hoc messages, but we don't have that either. Sometimes I even resort to asking a couple people to update my "Moderator note: ..." comment just to get it "above the fold". Anyway, ad-hoc notices aren't possible; comments are the best we can do there; comments help some but have problems too. | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 18:26 | comment | added | Joe Strazzere | @IDrinkandIKnowThings - it's unfortunate. I think folks tune out "standardized" notices pretty quickly, while adhoc notices could potentially be more relevant and attract attention. Oh well. | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 18:12 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | @JoeStrazzere - Because there is no ability for the mods to add an adhoc post notice. And SE is incredibly unlikely to add that IMO. But feel free to add that as an answer to why not | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 17:58 | comment | added | Joe Strazzere | I wouldn't bother to create a post notice for a question anticipating problems. Once it becomes a problem, then a moderator could craft a post appropriate for that particular question, and move offending comments elsewhere and/or delete them. Is there some particular need to create a "standard" post notice? Rather than craft one tailored for the question at hand each time? | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 17:57 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | One downside of locking a post is that it prevents changes of any kind -- including close and delete votes and edits. Sometimes we want to keep those actions available. (There's a longstanding feature request on Meta.SE to be able to just lock comments.) | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 17:50 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | @MonicaCellio - Thank you I updated the question to include those important details. | |

| Oct 2, 2017 at 17:45 | comment | added | David K | Agreed with @MonicaCellio. I think we also need to show why this would be helpful in addition to the already existing Locked post reason ("This post has been locked due to the high amount of off-topic comments generated. For extended discussions, please use chat.") The argument could be made that if a post is garnering Not Nice commentary, then it should just be locked to let people cool off. | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 17:38 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | It is possible to get a custom post notice for our site. (Another site I moderate has one.) SE needs to see community consensus behind a specific wording. There's a length limit but I'm not sure what it is. Since the Be Nice policy is always applicable, I think we'd want a wording that expresses that this question in particular is likely to be controversial/emotional/etc and so be extra-careful here. | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 16:54 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | @GrayCygnus - Well I am hoping to get the support of this site before I make the post on meta. Also would love to get a community buy in on the appropriate wording to suggest. If the initial request gets shot down because the wording was bad. Then a subsequent request will get shot down as a duplicate of the original request | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 16:49 | comment | added | DarkCygnus Mod | Also found this post where they indicate "If we need any new notice types please raise it here - we can decide if we need a site specific one or a global one." - meta.stackexchange.com/questions/102363/support-for-banners | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 16:47 | comment | added | DarkCygnus Mod | @MisterSortofPositive I think No, see this post, where they indicate there are 6 types of post notices: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/165006/… | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 16:10 | comment | added | Neo | Are the moderators able to add a customized message? | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 16:07 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | @JoeStrazzere - Questions that get flagged requesting the notice that the mods agree the post notice is approriate similar to the Long answers post notice. | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 16:06 | comment | added | IDrinkandIKnowThings | @ChrisE yes that is what I am proposing. | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 16:00 | comment | added | Neo | @ChrisE I think that is a great way to implement the idea, if the system allows for it! | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 15:59 | comment | added | Chris E | Are you talking about the things that mods put on a post like "We're looking for answers that..."? | |
| Oct 2, 2017 at 15:23 | comment | added | Neo | This seems like a reasonable idea to me. | |
