The word file is a fine word to use and is used correctly.
As a verb, file means to make application (to file a complaint; to file
for a job; to file a request). Since this follows a definition of the
word, I see no reason to have it need to be changed.

If we wish to continue using the word "file" in this context, "File
Request" should be changed to "File a Request". This would prevent native
English speakers from misinterpreting our use of "file" as a noun.
Having said that, I still feel that "lodge" is a more appropriate term in
this
I'm not surprised it's come up. I used to read it and be in a state of
thinking "this means two things" but logic prevailed and I discarded one of
the interpretations. The user who filed the request is obviously a troll,
looking at the username.
