I recently learned that some off-topic questions seem to be posted at Programmers with sole purpose to circumvent 'problem' and 'help' title block at Stack Overflow.

Can we do something to save these askers frustration and disappointment when their off-topic questions get voted down and close? Absence of the block probably makes them expect warmer welcome over here.
