SUGGESTION put " do not reply Google it " back to rules on more serious note would it be possible to somehow add a note "posting development software (IDE) question - like "QtCreator " or "Eclipse" is OK " or Add "post created with AI assistance help" note should be added when appropriate Cheers

Already available, just use the correct forum.

Chris has previously expressed his distaste for the "let me Google that for you" site. However, if someone posts a question that shows zero effort, which the poster could easily have solved by typing their question into a search engine and reading some of the results, then "google it" can be a perfectly valid response. Aside from the ongoing enshitification of Google's results, the main reason for it becoming less useful as an answer is the huge number of almost-identical questions with "google it" as the answer, which push the actual answer further down the list. But that's not an argument against "google it" answers; that's an argument for closing the low-quality zero-effort questions so that they're not indexed by search engines.
