I agree with Cdijk. I believe new users tend not to read the rules even after being told to, because the rules are long, and new users might not want to read those, especially if they are kids.
Second, I also think that new users who come in to post a question probably don't think about constantly checking their questions to see if somebody has answered or given feedback, and could very well not come back in 1 or 2 days. In that time their question is hidden, and they don't know why. Also, many users could be using the mobile version of the DB, in which case, the question-asking rules are underneath where someone would put a description and tags for their question, instead of on the side, like on a computer.
I'm not saying don't hide questions so new users can see them, (I think that would be useless,) but I think there has to be a different, incredibly obvious way to prevent these questions from being asked before they are asked, and I think this proposition does it.
