Valid point and good suggestion. I agree, the contributors should take these steps before posting and at the same time, should not be afraid of sharing what they think is correct. Readers has to read between the lines and take precaution while using something from the internet.
I think there's an important distinction between presenting an opinion or experience and presenting a fact. I don't think there's anything wrong with someone writing a post about their experiences with language X or why they think framework Y is rubbish. But if the post is about how to correctly configure authentication in framework Y or how to query a database with language X then there's a huge amount more scope for spreading misinformation and the author needs to take responsibility for ensuring the facts presented are correct.
Totally make sense... I have seen and struggling to get developers start writing about their problem/offer solution because of fear that they might be wrong. I encourage them to not be afraid, there will always be an opportunity to correct a mistake if you share it and someone point it out :)
