There is an increased in the amount of new users that confuse askubuntu.com to a forum, engaging even the answers as thought to be similar to the way we use a forum. For example, making comments, additional questions and misc as an answer instead of a comment. Or just creating several comments that get the OP and future readers nowhere.

There is the http://askubuntu.com/faqhttps://askubuntu.com/faq but it does not cover easily how to comment and answer. This also does not appear in an easier manner to new users telling (forcing them) to READ before starting 2 million questions about the same issue or answering a question with another question.

Is there a way to create a Help page to guide users before they start posting something and force them there before going to the main page? Is this something askubuntu related or meta stackexchange related?
