I think THIS is part of the problem - WHAT "experiences"?
"Personal experiences" would be better, but not a complete description.

This is another problem.  What is a "support question"?
"Technical questions" might be better.

However, problems with wording would be completely solved with a simple name

I cannot understand why a name change presents such a problem.  Could we at
least be given an explanation?
