The fact that you didn't speaks far, FAR more about you than it does SE.

And while I do agree that perhaps SE can give their GMs more options to help customers, it's not an excuse for you, again, NOT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS.
As a computer scientist I try to do my best to code functionnalities that doesn't put people in trouble if they did something wrong. And even if they didn't read the instructions, I would adress the case because if it isn't intuitive enough without reading instructions, then it means I failed as computer scientist.
