| Oct 7, 2023 at 6:40 | comment | added | anna v | @hft it is not enough to hover, there is a list of choices when one votes closure, and "insufficient research effor is not one of them. One can go to "other" and state it, but it would be good to have a choice | |
| Oct 6, 2023 at 21:58 | comment | added | hft | If you hover over the down-vote icon on any question, the pop-up text lists one typical reason for downvoting as "this question does not show any research effort." So downvote or vote to close, I guess. | |

| Oct 6, 2023 at 2:03 | comment | added | Kyle Kanos | It is possible for questions to be closed that way, but it seems that one in particular should have a duplicate somewhere on the site. In such cases, it probably would be better to point users to the duplicate question than closing it as "bruh, DYOR". | |
| Oct 5, 2023 at 23:55 | comment | added | rob Mod | It used to be relatively common for users to vote to close such questions, with a custom reason like "... because it shows insufficient research effort." I haven't seen such a remark for a while. I don't remember whether the people who used that turn of phrase have just stopped, or whether we had problems with people being rude about it ("jfgi, bonehead") and had a change in community consensus about whether that was a good close reason. | |

| Oct 5, 2023 at 17:02 | comment | added | AccidentalFourierTransform | ironically, possible duplicates: physics.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4598/84967, physics.meta.stackexchange.com/q/5033/84967 etc | |
