If you don't want to support an arch/language/platform, etc. just say so in the readme (all arch/languages/platforms besides ____ are unsupported.
People expecting things are pretty par for the course on the internet... Just be firm and curt. Close the issues quickly and refer to them if reopened.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoPeople are annoyed because when your project gets big enough (or if you're just unlucky), that doesn't stop them.
- djoldman 5y agoIs it possible to ban users from posting issues on GitHub to your project?
- benrbray 5y agoYou can turn off the "issues" tab in your GitHub repository via Repo Settings > Options > Features > Issues.

- teraflop 5y agoIf individual users are being persistent and causing problems, you can ban them. But if your problem is caused by a large number of different users, each coming across the project for the first time and creating annoying issues/PRs, banning doesn't help.

That people send unwanted messages on the internet is the most common complaint I see regarding the internet that I just cant empathise with at all. I just really dont get it. Possibly has something to do with my first couple years online involving 4chan.
