  • Well, there was zero effort documented in the post.

    You’re not their teacher. It’s not your job to decide how much effort they’ve put forth, or to grade whether or not that is sufficient.

    Take a look at Ubuntu trying to teach newcomers how to ask a question.

    And if they documented their research process, you’d say “tldr just ask the question.” Stop trying to be paternalistic and gatekeepy. Just answer or don’t.
