| Jul 14, 2017 at 8:06 | comment | added | terdon Mod | I admit I also have the opposite impression. I've always felt that this site is particularly good at reopening questions. The specific one you show was only closed yesterday and already has 3 reopen votes, for instance. Could you perhaps show us some more examples? | |
| Jul 14, 2017 at 8:00 | comment | added | jasonwryan | My point is that there is no "problem". And your claim that 90% of questions on the site show a similar lack of effort is ludicrous. | |
| Jul 14, 2017 at 7:55 | comment | added | Philippos | @jasonwryan The first part is true for 90% of all questions. Go and put all of them on hold! And I would not have edited the question if it wasn't an interesting problem where you can learn a lot about text processing. But I don't want to discuss those thousands of questions put on hold that didn't get reopened despite clarification. You can argue about any specific case, but that won't solve the general problem. | |
| Jul 14, 2017 at 7:47 | comment | added | jasonwryan | It is still a "I need an answer, but I'm not willing to do anything myself to get it" type question. Coupled with the fact that it is a generic text processing request, there is nothing about it that warrants reopening. | |

This is about the general problem, not a specific case.

| Jul 14, 2017 at 7:38 | comment | added | Philippos | @jasonwryan You didn't even read that it's not my question. I provided an answer. The question was put on hold because it was unclear, not because there wasn't enough own effort. And this isn't about this specific question, it's a general problem. | |
| Jul 14, 2017 at 7:21 | comment | added | jasonwryan | The question you linked to shows no effort on your part to answer it yourself. I would have voted against reopening it. | |
