I'm going to say guidance is necessary.
First, I agree with the points made by Billy Kerr and zeethreepio.
The answer shouldn't be a flat No, but we do need to know where to draw the line.
I want to make a specific point to add on to what these guys have said.
##Tutorial questions give new users a chance to gain rep.
Tutorial questions give new users a chance to gain rep.
- As a new user here myself (5 months as of this post) I want to express how difficult it is to even gain a small amount of rep when you're first starting here. It's hard enough to just get enough rep to join a chat room or make a comment.
- I believe basic tutorial questions will be ignored by the pros but give new users a chance to answer questions that the high rep users don't have time for/care about.
- What is interesting is some of these simple tutorials often get answered with multiple approaches and it's great to see different ways to tackle a simple problem. Maybe in a way you would never expect and even an experienced person can learn something to speedup their workflow.
I love the policy of this site that prevents normies from joining and spamming the **** out of this site. That's what makes us better than Reddit.

We should have a warning for new users before they make they're questions. Maybe a popup before you are allowed to push the submit question button because the tour button and help buttons are hard to find for new users.
