Template talk:No forum talk

Is there a way to make this template more noticeable? Maybe we can make it appear when somebody is editing the article talk page. Although this rule is often overlooked, which isn't really a major issue, I think we have to make this template more visible so other users don't have to tire people who constantly have to remind them.

I was thinking of making the "NOT A FORUM" red text. But it's already bolded. I don't know why people aren't noticing it. Maybe they're simply ignoring it? Ray Trace^(T|C)

Whatever it is, this template isn't effective enough for discouraging "forum" talk, apparently. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:11, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

I think the problem is most people ignore it and most people will just continue to ignore it Raven Effect (talk)

I was thinking we enforce it. You know, delete comments that don't relate to the article. I don't think this reminder is hard enough. Ray Trace^(T|C)

That might work although that's something we frown on right now Raven Effect (talk)

New users tend to make this mistake as well. I think it's that they overlook it rather than ignore it. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:14, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

@Raven Effect:It probably isn't. I think the forum comments are similar to spam. They don't do anything to improve the article. And if we do get a rule on this, I say we delete only the recent ones that have been made. Undo it. No past ones.

@LGM: No, it's RIGHT ON THE TOP OF THE TALK PAGE HOW COULD THEY MISS IT???? Ray Trace^(T|C)

There's still something wrong with it when people still frequently break that rule. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:20, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Most people don't read it. It's kind of like the welcome template most people see it then ignore it Raven Effect (talk)
