Users can experience situations where CircleCI simply does not show up on their PR.
It seems like it's a common mistake for contributors to follow their own fork of the project- causing CircleCI to not show up on the PR because it attempts to run as part of the contributor's personal fork.
To help them fix this, the open source admin will point users to this trouble-shooting guide: https://support.circleci.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008097173-Troubleshooting-why-pull-requests-are-not-triggering-jobs-on-my-organization-. Though, contributors often still need guidance/assistance and it's also time consuming to always point them to this.
It would be helpful if CircleCI would make it more difficult to end up with this bad fork CI setup.
