Or don't use Editor Requests. As noted in What is consideration?:

An older process of submitting an Editor Request is available to any monk; however, simply asking in the chatterbox for help or for someone to consider a node for you might be a better first step.

Which is subtle discouragement from using the old system (especially if you aren't prevented from using consideration) which isn't as easy to work with (and which is mostly ignored except for by one person who might get hit by a bus).

Maybe someone could make the sitedoclet for Editor Requests and then someone could put this gentle discouragement into it and perhaps make both discouragements less gentle and more informative (and someone could add an "s" to What is consideration? since the link to Editor Request just brings up a list of search results).
