I've made some changes to the welcome message, including:

  • Added a link to meta (culture)
  • Reworded the "don't ask to ask", because that was hella confusing

Example can be seen at https://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/42342257#42342257

Feel free to berate me on the wording, or indeed to think that I did fine.

source/config.js Outdated
var welcomeFmt = 'Welcome to the JavaScript chat! Please review the {0}. ' +
'Please don\'t ask if you can ask or if anyone\'s around; just ask ' +
'your question, and if anyone\'s free and interested they\'ll help.';
var welcomeFmt = "Welcome to the JavaScript chat! Please review the {rulesLink}. " +

FWIW I think that we can use template strings :D

I also thought so, but I decided to stick with supplant for the sake of consistency with the rest of the codebase.

FWIW users already get a pretty big popup when they join chat apparently that tells them to report issues -

Looks good, thanks! Just one small thing: could you just change the double quotes to singles?

@Zirak I purposely switched to double quotes because the string contains single quotes. Are you seriously suggesting it's better to have to escape them?

@kendfrey That's the style guide, single quotes, for better and for worse.

In that case, you can expect a begrudging commit from me later today.
