> Helping others is never a waste of time, but telling people thy are too stupid to ask for help correctly is cruel. Asking others politely to help you help them is not cruel in any way. If you allow a community to become a place where people can ask questions without putting any effort at all in themselves, you end up with all the people who can actually help leaving, and your community being full of people who will only ever put in the bare minimum of effort.
