<p>I have noticed that most of the questions in Cross Validated come from new users who, for a number of reasons, do not read the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/faq">FAQ</a> section and do not know about the upvoting and accepting-an-answer system. Sometimes the OP is satistified with an answer but does not accept it because does not know about this. I believe that commenting "you can upvote/accept my answer if you like it" is a bit embarrasing for the answerer/responder as it can be seen as a pressure for doing so.</p>

<p>Given that these rewards motivate people to write good answers (or even <em>writing</em> an answer in this context), I was thinking that an automatic message/comment (such as "consider upvoting/accepting useful answers" with a link to FAQ) on new user's questions might be useful and would not put more charge on moderator's bag of responsibilities.</p>

<p>What do you think about this? Please, feel free to suggest a better option.</p>
