This is where CONTRIBUTING.md comes in. If a project doesn't want Issues to be used for support, then it should mention it there. Whether people actually read it is another story :(
- fourthark 11y agoYeah this is actually my canned response on one of my own projects, and I'm tired of copying and pasting it. Nobody reads CONTRIBUTING.md
- vrv 11y agoIn our issues template, we start it with: "GitHub issues are for bugs / installation problems / feature requests. For general support from the community, see [StackOverflow](link)" However, we still get plenty of issues filed that are more appropriate for StackOverflow, so not sure there's anything technical you can do without integrating more closely with StackOverflow :)
- onli 11y agoIt's not at all logical to look into the guidelines for contributing to a project of what you seek is support, not to contribute a feature request or a patch. I'd never look there.
