I had an idea for this, too. Baiscally, when they type something in the little box, it would be nice to come up with an intermediate page with something like:
------------------------------------------------------------- Ask a Question! You'd like to ask "[whatever they typed]". Let's just make sure of a couple of things before you ask! - *It is, indeed, a question.* If you're reporting a bug or have suggestions, the proper place to do that is here [link to Launchpad with their text filled in the box]. - *This question hasn't been asked.* Click here to search through the existing answers. [Better yet, it'd be nice to pull in search results here automatically!] - *This question relates to elementary and our stable software.* If it's a question about third-party or unstable software, the support channel is a better place to ask. If the above is all good, feel free to expand on your question: [question body text box] --------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps I'll mock something up. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Elementary Website Team, which is subscribed to elementaryweb. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/806275 Title: explain Answers is for questions, not complaints Status in The official elementary website: Confirmed Bug description: Above the description field there should be a short blurb explaining that Answers is for asking questions. If there is a known problem it should be reported as a bug. "Suggestions for Midori" is very obviously not a question.
