----------
-- [ ] I looked at https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ to see if my question has already been answered.
-- [ ] I performed a search in the issue tracker for similar issues using keywords relevant to my problem, such as the error message I got from the log.
-- [ ] I clicked the 'Log' button or pressed <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>L</kbd> in Rufus, and copy/pasted the log into the line that says `<FULL LOG>` below.
-- [ ] The log I am copying is the FULL log, starting with the line `Rufus version: x.y.z` - I have NOT removed any part of it.
-
-Additionally (if applicable):
-- [ ] I ran a bad blocks check, by clicking _Show advanced format options_ then _Check device for bad blocks_, and confirmed that my USB is not defective.
-- [ ] I also tried one or more of the following:
-  - [ ] Using a different USB drive.
-  - [ ] Plugging the USB into a different port.
-  - [ ] Running Rufus on a different computer.
-- [ ] If using an image, I clicked on the `(✓)` button to compute the MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums, which are therefore present in the log I copied. I confirmed, by performing an internet search, that these values match the ones from the official image.

+1. You *MUST* read and complete the steps from the checklist below, by placing

+
+3. If you are reporting an issue when trying to run Rufus, or when trying to
+   boot a media created by Rufus, you *MUST* provide a log, period. Please do
+   not assume that the developer(s) will be able to "guess" the specifics of
+   your environment, what image you used, what type of media you used it with
+   or the many many other critical parameters that the log provides data for.
+   To investigate an issue, a log from Rufus is ALWAYS required.
+
+4. If you still *choose* not to provide a log when reporting a problem, you
+   agree that your issue will be closed without any further investigation.

+YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
