A few days ago I saw a question with this comment: > I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because you have a > couple of very descriptive error messages and your question doesn't > show any research effort or steps you've taken to resolve those > issues. I wanted to vote to close this question also, for the same reason, and I was surprised to discover that this exact reason existed. I've selected this reason. But this reason only existed for this specific question, while I was thinking that an update has been done. This `voting to close` reason was from a very high rated member, so I am thinking that they have privilege to close a given question with an ephemeral reason. I know this has already been discussed, and it is not the goal on this post, but `lack of research` is a good reason to close, and should be proposed by default (IMHO). My questions are: - Were my eyes tired or did I see right? (grrr I should have take a screenshot) - Can you confirm that high rated members can add an ephemeral close reason for a given question that does not appear in the standard/usual close form?
