-NOTE: Issues that are not bugs or feature requests will be closed. Please ask usage questions on StackOverflow.
+Please go to Stack Overflow for help and support. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/tensorflow
+If you open a GitHub issue, here is our policy:
 
-### You must complete this information or else your issue will be closed
+1. It must be a bug or feature request.
+2. The form below must be filled out.
+
+**Here's why we have that policy**: TensorFlow developers respond to issues. We want to focus on work that benefits the whole community, e.g. fixing bugs and adding features. Support only helps individuals. GitHub also notifies thousands of people when issues are filed. We want them to see you communicating an interesting problem, rather than being redirected to Stack Overflow.
