Should minimal research be required before posting?
According to the [help center](https://judaism.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask), to ask a "great question," you should "Do some research...In addition to just making sure your question hasn't been asked already here on Codidact, take a few moments to search beyond the site. If you put your question title into a search engine, can you find the answer to your question in the first three results?"

Currently this is left as a guideline, a recommendation. Should this be adopted as site policy, that if a simple Google search for your question yields answers, don't ask it here, or should it be left as a guideline?
