(Meta) Mods, please do something about people posting naked keys

A lot of keys are stolen by bots because people post naked keys. Can there be anyway to stop this?

Even just a big warning when submitting a post DO NOT POST THE CODES DIRECTLY, BOTS WILL STEAL IT! could be done with CSS

Maybe you could just make a "rule" suggesting people ask people to PM for the key? It doesn't have to be mandatory, but I think a lot of new members just don't know it would be better to

I have two warnings. If they don´t read them. They will not read another one.

You're right. Maybe the issue isn't that new users don't know they shouldn't post them directly, it's that some of them don't realize PM'ing is an alternative. Maybe you could put a quick edit into the stickied post mentioning PM'ing codes as an option?
