| Apr 12, 2015 at 12:23 | comment | added | Reaces | I agree with the first one, because it leans very closely to a similar response I gave to the previous discussion. Looking at the kerfuffle in this weeks meta threads I don't think this question will see the attention it probably deserves though. | |

| Apr 11, 2015 at 23:29 | comment | added | Andrew Schulman | I support the first answer above, maybe retitled "Failure to show effort to solve the problem on their own". This reason is tucked into the "installation, configuration, or diagnostic help" reason by the phrase "and attempted solutions", but I really think it deserves its own category. It's very common and is usually why I choose that closing reason. | |
| Apr 11, 2015 at 16:45 | comment | added | Shog9 | (And yeah, some will be dups of "how to analyze a log file for x" - still beats having to pick a custom close reason. Oh, that reminds me... I need to figure out what's wrong with the dup-suggester.) | |
| Apr 11, 2015 at 16:42 | comment | added | Shog9 | The big problem on SO wasn't so much lack of research, but lack of research that contributed to understanding the problem. If the question is trivially answerable without any additional research, then it should be a duplicate for a mature site - hence our efforts over the past year to make dup-closing faster and easier. | |
| Apr 11, 2015 at 16:01 | comment | added | MDMoore313 | @Shog9 I like the way their page looks, I will probably post another meta question as a proposal to change our own page to be something similar but more sysadmin-ey. | |
| Apr 11, 2015 at 15:53 | comment | added | MDMoore313 | @Shog9 In some examples the OP has clearly defined a question, but showed lack of research, this is the most common example I see, I can provide examples if needed. I will take a look at SO's how to ask page and provide more feedback. | |
| Apr 11, 2015 at 15:41 | comment | added | Shog9 | The first is reasonably close to Unclear, which links to serverfault.com/help/how-to-ask which is moderators editable; why not just propose some more specific research guidance for that? See the example on SO: stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask | |
