I am tired of flagging and down-voting these nonsense questions (I mean it). No one seems to read the Help Center or show any effort. Off-topic questions like this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28517610/finding-the-shortest-path-in-a-graph-with-given-max-weighthttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/28517610/finding-the-shortest-path-in-a-graph-with-given-max-weight
shows that the Help Center isn't being read or being used that often. New users sometimes just play around, ignoring the rules, due to their lack of knowledge of the rules. The Help Center is mentioned in similar questions all over the SE network. It has helped many and probably many more future users. So my question is, can we enforce that users read carefully the Help Center before asking? I get that newbies do have to go through the intro, but they seem to ignore the advice given.
