Return to Question

I've been doing my review and stumbled upon a question asking for a feature not provided by iOS currently, and it received a comment or answer suggesting the OP jailbreak. Question is: is advocating jailbreak our current direction for Ask Different?

My concern is users come with different levels of experience and expectations. If (with the best of intention) a solution was recommended that ended up with the OP having a bricked iOS device, are we liable (legally) and will we inadvertently cause problems for Ask Different? Naturally OP who knowingly ask for jailbreak solution is not covered by this question as they know what they're asking for, and assume responsibility (and absolving us?)

I've read http://meta.apple.stackexchange.com/questions/1377/faqask-should-not-include-points-that-belong-under-faqdontask but didn't get the definitive answer I'm looking for. Guidance appreciated to help this new hand in review. Thanks.
