I’m really digging into this problem / issue today.

You may, or may not, remember seeing an “education panel” when you created your first two new topics. It appears to the right, in a yellow panel, when you are creating a topic.

By default Discourse displays the following…

> Welcome to Podcaster Community — **thanks for starting a new conversation!**
> 
> - Does the title sound interesting if you read it out loud? Is it a good summary?
> 
> - Who would be interested in this? Why does it matter? What kind of responses do you want?
> 
> - Include commonly used words in your topic so others can _find_ it. To group your topic with related topics, select a category (or tag).
> 
> For more, [see our community guidelines](https://forum.podcaster.community/guidelines). This panel will only appear for your first 2 posts.

This is the last, best chance to help people get things right. I’m considering changing it to display this.

> **This help panel only appears during your first 2 posts.**
> 
> Please [go read about our culture](https://forum.podcaster.community/t/our-culture/639)
> 
> …it also explains what, by whom, and where self-promotion is permitted.
> 
> We know you’re excited to post here, but we have a strong culture, and clear rules. You’ll be happier here, in the long run, if you take the time to learn about how we do things.
