Would it be possible to put next to"What is your question"something like enter number of letters and any you have?. As much as i, like loads of others out here, enjoy supplying answers, there are lots of enquiries from people who think we all have 14 newspapers delivered daily. this causes us to ask them ourselves clogging up the pages more than need be
Totally agree, as I only get 1 paper a day, but don't mind having a go at helping solve other cryptic clues. I would suggest adding a "date due by" as well, so that the question can be removed when it's past it's "required by" date - not for crosswords, but more for quizzes etc.
