Requirements

Add message to forum response composition

In the forum response composition view:

Screenshot of current state

Please add this as placeholder text in the input box:

Please be nice in the forum.

This string should be translateable.

(optional) Add to new topic form

When creating a new topic:

New topic form

This composition page is slightly different, lacking the existing ℹ️ Forum etiquette link for example.

I believe it wouldn't be a problem to include both the both the placeholder text and an extra link to the forum etiquette link here.

Background

Was proposed as part of internal discussions on how to improve the quality of the off-topic forum, we would like to add some text reminding people to be nice.
While our focus is off-topic, there would be no harm in applying the proposed text to all parts of the forum.

This text is intended to match the Please be nice in the chat! placeholder text we currently have for game chats:
Chat placeholder text
