| Jul 7, 2011 at 16:47 | comment | added | Fosco | One that goes to your point of strange wordings / poor understandings: stackoverflow.com/questions/6613890/… I think they should be closed immediately and downvoted into oblivion, though :) | |
| Jun 8, 2011 at 20:07 | comment | added | Brian | If the close requires a link to the general reference and is still searchable, I think this problem is mostly negated. | |
| Apr 5, 2011 at 15:05 | comment | added | Pekka | Fair points. I too would prefer to get these closed as duplicates, but in my experience, finding a well-answered original question is a lot of work, especially for trivial questions because they usually contain so many common terms. It's an effort that often doesn't really feel worth putting in it for a trivial question. I realize this new close reason would be a politely put "RTFM" but I think it's necessary simply because of the sheer numbers. Also, if a manual link can be provided, the newbie will still get their answer. | |
