+  - Before reporting, please make sure to search the open and closed issues for any reports in the past.
+  - Use this issue template to report a bug in the fail2ban engine (not in a filter or jail).
+  - If you want to request a feature or a new filter, please use "Feature request" or "Filter request" instead.
+  - If you have rather some question, please open or join to some discussion.
+
+  We will be very grateful, if your problem was described as completely as possible,
+  enclosing excerpts from logs (if possible within DEBUG mode, if no errors evident
+  within INFO mode), and configuration in particular of effected relevant settings
+  (e.g., with ` fail2ban-client -d | grep 'affected-jail-name' ` for a particular
+  jail troubleshooting).
+  Thank you in advance for the details, because such issues like "It does not work" 
+  alone could not help to resolve anything!
+  Thanks! 
+  (you can remove this paragraph and other comments upon reading)
