###Limited ability to see question bans on related SE sites.
Limited ability to see question bans on related SE sites.
The Problem:
Programmers frequently sees low quality questions that would have been asked on SO except that the asker has been question banned from SO.
The Proposal:
Allow 30k users the ability to see if a new poster is blocked on a related technology site where the question should have been asked. To simplify things, this privilege could be limited to migration target sites.
An example: user31415 asks a low-quality question on Programmers that is clearly an implementation issue but needs work in order to meet SO's quality guidelines. I should be able to click through to the user's profile to see if they are question banned on SO or not.
Why? If I know the user is question banned on SO, I can leave a comment helping explain how to get out of being question banned. If the user isn't question banned, then I can explain what needs to be done to improve the question so it can be migrated.
The whole point is to be able to tailor constructive feedback to the new user's actual situation.
