Yes, any contributor can recommend that a question be merged into the Catch-All system.
Contact a Supervisor or Community Assistant and they can do it straight away. The system is now changed and most of the questions are constructed differently. Should you find a "bad" question, either contact a Supervisor or file an abuse report.
The abuse report will alert one of the staff that there is something wrong with the question so that they can dispose of it properly. At the top right side of the screen, you will find a link to "report abuse." This will send a report which is read and the question and/or answer either fixed or discarded. We appreciate your help in finding these bad questions!
