@user64742 What kind of "external" context do you think is required? This user presented their work, and explained their confusion. There is no such requirement that an asker post "external context" whatever you decide that to be.
@amWhy I believe it is someone farming for homework assistance given the calculus tag and their incredibly low rep and also low effort put into the post.
Isn’t closing those sorts of posts what you’ve been requesting lately, Amwhy?
@user64742 Then flag their posts for moderator attention. There are far more heinous examples than you provide above. In fact, I think you were off-base in "new user troll post", which for a new user, ain't all that bad.
@amWhy a PSQ is when a brand new user makes a one-off post related to a school problem and then never comes back and abandons the post and the account.
And never makes an effort to answer their own question
@user64742 You have much to learn about this site. If you believe a user is trolling the site, flag an example for mod attention, and explain, with links to other posts, why you are concerned about the user's behavior.
@amWhy nonono I assume any brand new user post with low effort is just a sock account trolling
i always assume that
My reasoning for that is that in my opinion our user base grows far faster than reasonably supported by any actual believable growth in site traffic. Therefore we have a severe sock account problem.
@user64742 There are PSQs asked by users with 2K rep, 5k rep, 8k rep. Please, until you deal with your biased assumptions, to not recommend post closures here. If you want to post one or two in a day, then along with your link, explain what you see the problem as. Being a new user is not equivalent to being a troll.
@user64742 I think it is easy to deal with questions you think maybe spam. I usually look up approach0 and report questions as duplicates if I find matches. Otherwise, it is reasonable to flag questions if the OP does not present any work.
@ParamanandSingh I think I know who this user is, based on the frozen rooms in his chat profile, and his long history of bouncing back and forth, one moment acting like a victim, the next, extremely judgemental and close to offensive agains other users' questions from "newer" users.
@ParamanandSingh Yes indeed. I may ping @quid and @AlexanderGruber, as well. If this is who I think it is, their behavior in the past was quite erratic, regarding their own posts, and about users he interacted with, and was prone to cause trouble through the casting of inappropriate flags in chat rooms.
