| Dec 5, 2014 at 13:45 | comment | added | John Powell | Stack Overflow now has a new review queue, triage. Currently, it is in testing, while the algorithm gets tuned, but the general idea is that the 'pleaze give me the codez' type questions get automatically booted off the home page. I applaud the comments here, but anyone who has spent any time on one of the more popular tags on SO, would have to be a saint not to occasionally give in to snarkiness. | |

| Dec 4, 2014 at 22:01 | comment | added | Chris W | With the revision I fully agree with this answer. I'm sure we've all felt a bit snarky when seeing an obvious question and might like to vent that. But in the context of 'making SE be all it can', lmgtfy is more a detraction than improvement. The same thing can be said (and is) couched in more polite/tactful terms, such as the 'what have you tried' bit. The voting mechanism is specifically there for your distaste (hover down arrow, it says 'shows no research effort'). There's nothing that says you have to respond in any way, but something that can be negative doesn't help the site much. | |
