We do, as much as we can anyway. Unfortunately as far as I know we don't have any way to edit the ask a question page.

I disagree with some of the opinions expressed in the comments, I'd say a .blend is nearly always better than no .blend, however ideally we want to encourage users to upload a stripped-down "minimal example" of their problem. Doing that

• helps them, as often the process of isolating the problem leads to the solution
• helps us, as we don't need to dig through large .blends and try and reverse-engineer what the OP is attempting to do
• helps blend-exchange by saving bytes
• plus it alleviates some concerns users occasionally have over IP rights.

Unfortunately the only way we have to consistently communicate this to new users is by commenting and linking meta where relevant.

I disagree with some of the opinions expressed in the comments, I'd say a .blend is nearly always better than no .blend (there are of course times where it's not necessary, but it doesn't really hurt either). To mitigate "here's my project pls fix it" questions, ideally we want to encourage users to upload a stripped-down "minimal example" of their problem. Doing that
