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 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 question is (are) :

• Were my eyes tired or did i see right ? (grrr 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 ?
