On the front page of S.R, where all those tempting wonderful pics of goodies appear and sends us all back to being 5yr old's at Christmas, how about a small boxed area that will directly link into a basic tutorial (perhaps the buyers guide), ideally something more involved, but short enough for people not to just scan over quickly.
I know there's a buyers guide in the account area but the sooner people are educated the less risk to themselves and others they become, ultimately, S.R becomes safer as a result and hopefully S.R won't get highlighted in the press or flagged up to authorities as often because there will be an educated more vigilant buyer on here. Although, I'm sure this site is on constant watch for useable info in user's posts.
Im new myself, and fortunately did enough research to keep me safe (as far as I was aware) on here. However, since then I've upped my game and look back and think I may not have been as safe as I thought I was.. my extra vigilance has come from doing the research.
When I buy online generally, I will often skip terms & conditions etc.
I'd like to suggest putting a box just above the grid of pictures on the front page. Even if it just said 'this is a high risk site, visit here first and read tutorials before buying [link to community] <<< the link currently at the bottom of the page is barely noticeable.

Could be very helpful. Good idea.
