Some Bee in Bonnet stuff

Firstly I would like to define which kind of Ubuntu user I am; (which could be described as an unqualified; unprofessional or amateur user), a home user and am attempting to describe and define my concerns regarding a new user intending to use Ask Ubuntu in order to enable the better and fuller use of Ubuntu. Bearing in mind the Ubuntu philosophy that Ubuntu is for everyone it appears due to elitism Ask Ubuntu is not for everyone. Which could be read to be more than contradictory when being associated with Ubuntu! It could appear that the ethos here is "If your question has not been asked it probably is not worth asking. Feel free to have a look around though".

The way I see it as Ubuntu is being used I am asking in the right place as after looking at other similar questions they do not provide a working answer.

Some reasons how the Bee got there

My original question in the main Ask Ubuntu site has been edited and updated whenever possible to indicate there has been effort and time put in by myself to try and resolve the question as this is encouraged in FAQ. FAQ also explains a question gets moved to community wiki after too many edits. I have spent much time in FAQ, probably more than most new users yet still have not earned the badge associated with reading FAQ in main Q&A site.

Another section in FAQ explains the importance of tagging in order to help bring the question to peoples attention who are interested in that tag.

What this is really about

With regard to my main question which is httphttps://askubuntu.com/q/208405/102029 and looking at tags and tag synonyms I thought I would search for questions in meta before posting a question here asking about **how a new user could get help with suggesting a new tag synonym** "hybrid-bios" (which is not EFI,BIOS or EUFI) and found this question https://meta.askubuntu.com/q/184/102029- looking at this has more than added to my frustration of the complexity of this site and do hope this post is being constructive as intended.

What the point is

Referring to https://meta.askubuntu.com/q/184/102029 - So an other new user has put obvious time and effort into providing a way for other new users to suggest tag synonyms which qualified users could easily review and act accordingly to as how they see fit but somebody else has found reason for concern regarding the question. Which has led me to posting this and really do wonder "Is Ask Ubuntu an Ubuntu Q&A site for everyone?"
