This would ideally include the ability to require a maximum number of answers, a minimum number of answers, or a fixed number of answers (e.g., no more than three, at least three, exactly three).

Useful counter-suggestions in comments include making a unified FAQ with this information that is linked solely on the Post an Entry page, with a mouseover tag indicating why it's of import. |

Original suggestion was shredded to bits by people fearful of the HTML Editor turning into the ever-broken RTE. |

General consensus that a button to "update to current time" would be better: see http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/904345.html |
