Return to Question

As per this discussion, the old "questions must demonstrate a minimal understanding of the problem being solved" close reason has been replaced.

However, questions such as this one (*) (and innumerable others) keep popping up, posted by people who have absolutely no clue what they are talking about, or anyway completely lack the minimum prerequisite knowledge to work with whatever they are working with, and thus formulate a good question.

I suggest we bring back a close reason along the lines of "no offense intended, but you really don't seem to know what you're talking about"; all existing close reasons just don't convey the same message.

(*) Now deleted after heavy downvoting and a flame war in comments where the OP attacked and insulted downvoters to the point of requiring moderator intervention.
