@Batman I pinged the people that did the last blog posts...

Can we add to the FAQ/How to Ask page a note that Yes/No questions are off topic? bicycles.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask doesn't mention this. How to ask might even expand that to say "rather than asking 'does this exist' or 'has this been done', perhaps ask 'where can I find examples of this' or 'how can this be done'

I am also not a fan of "this horrible thing happened and I want to stop it happening again", because it's too often an implicit call to "help me do activism on this", which is not a question.
