We have updated the guidance on our community record system here
These includes our new card the "Posting Tip" - we'll be providing new members with helpful tips to help them make the most out of TSR.
The card will appear on their community record with a message which provides guidance and will introduce you to some of community guidelines. It is not the same as a reminder (blue) card.
This is slightly off-topic but seeing as it likely comes under a "posting tip" I'll ask anyway.. Why is swear filter avoidance no longer in the reports categories list? Assuming it's still against the rules, what does it come under now?
Why just new members? Wouldn't it be a good idea to have these pop-up alerts for people who post threads in the wrong forum so that they know where to post similar threads in future - or does that already happen?

The way how I see it is that if it's the first time you've ever done it then a reminder card should be given out. However, this is more likely to happen with a new member (which I consider less then 6 months) as opposed to to someone who's been on the site for say 2 years.
In addition if there is any confusion the card can be amended after the user comes to ask a CT

Thanks for pointing this out, this is a mistake and should be included. We'll get that updated asap. For now it could be reported under not constructive or offensiveness depending on the context.

Good point
We have a thread corrector in study help - this means that where ever you create a thread in study help it gives you a prompt to post it in a subject specific forum.
I can add one more generally for "you've posted in the wrong forum, we have just moved that for you"
