On that note, Discourse nudges you to do a tutorial on how to use their forum through the private messages from Discobot. I wonder if something like that which shows the kinds of comments that the community needs, along with the upvote limitations I’ve talked about elsewhere and privately messaged you about, may provide a sufficient mitigation to this concern and help users be better contributors in this forum.

Also, stuff like Erlang day isn’t a bad idea: it is also a kind of nudge to remind the community about what kinds of discussions and comments to prioritize.
