| May 10, 2019 at 9:18 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | The scope of the site - what's on topic and what's not - is decided by the site community, not by Stack Exchange corporately. This community consensus is agreed through, and documented on, threads on this meta, particularly the ones marked as FAQ. Of course those policies need to be enforced. They are not "nice-to-haves" - they are an essential component of keeping the community moderation fair, consistent, and predictable. | |

| May 10, 2019 at 6:28 | comment | added | user191954 | The meta post about what counts as prior research was given the moderator-only FAQ tag, so that counts as an 'official' rule. Lack of prior research is one of the more common custom close reasons (i.sstatic.net/RaKUH.png was posted by a 10k user in chat recently). | |
