Interesting idea, but probably an over-solution to the problem. Here's my response as a frequent answerer of questions. {grin}

First, this isn't a help desk. Yes, questions get answered, but only if the question seems answerable.

Second, people seem to manage pretty well. When they don't get the answers they want to their question, they repost their question a different way, or solve more of it themselves and post the remainder of the question again later.

I don't think flagging an original question as "PLEASE PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS" is going to get much of greater response. Often, it's the question at fault.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
