Comment (by andrewhoyer):

 The built-in "Search engines discouraged" warning is so chill that I
 forgot it existed despite launching sites on a regular basis and using the
 "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" checkbox.

 I keep reading posts about forgetting to uncheck the box, and I've done it
 myself which is bad for clients and embarrassing as a developer. I spent
 time today creating a minimalist plugin that adds a notice to the admin
 bar in a small but very obvious way.

 Then via some discussion on 𝕏 I was pointed to this ticket, and wanted to
 provide some feedback.

 A simple suggestion for consideration:

 Why not just change the info icon to the alert emoji, or a red dot? The
 location seems reasonable, it just doesn't stand out.
