There's all these people asking questions that are easily solvable with a stackoverflow search. Is it fine if I redirect them?

Question

So, I'm seeing a lot of threads that are about people who want to know information about how to do a specific thing.
Now, as much as I want the sololearn discussions to grow larger, it isn't always the best source for these kinds of questions.
I want your thought if wheter or not I sould simply send them a link with a thread identical to their question, that has the answer they're looking for.
So, thoughts?

Answer 1

Well the people here are usually absolute beginners and english is not the first language of many of them so I cut them some slack. And try to answer in simple english.

StackOverflow can be a bit unhelpful in that regard.

However, if the OP has shown a decent level of english proficiency, and I find a fitting answer on SO, then I will pass the link along, sure.

Answer 2

Hi,
generally yes.
But please keep in mind, that we have young and unexperienced user.
Stackoverflow is a platform for experienced coder( in my personal opinion ) .
So a precheck if the answer can be understood would be nice.
For advanced questions a Stackoverflow is normally a welcome contribution.

Answer 3

Yes it's fine.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Most at times I redirect them to stackoverflow
