I’m not that familiar with configuring Slack. I’ve never administrated a workspace before. But I was just wondering if there was a possibility of putting a localized message in the text hint or a warning message above/below the text input in order to make it super clear about what is and what isn’t on-topic?

Like in many other similar situations, there is no technical solution. It’s a social situation, and it best works with appropriate culture.
