Can we find a canonical QA to close 'will this charger work?' questions against?

We get so many of these, with only minor variations. My google-fu is failing to find one single canonical QA we could use to close these against. Can anyone find - or indeed write - one we can use as …

Why was my question (1801790) closed?

Please be more careful with audit tests

The question states "Please be more careful with audit tests" but the question body appears to be accusing the audits of being "too hard". Sorry, but the onus is on you to correctly review, not on the …

Why try to solve someone's issue when you can just sweep it under the rug?

In anticipation of this being migrated to SU Meta… The question* was auto-deleted by the system, according to this ruleset in main Meta - Enable automatic deletion of old, unanswered, zero-score quest …

PSA: Just because *you* don't understand a question doesn't automatically make it unclear

I think a great deal of this comes from inexperienced reviewers trying to get through their day's allocation of reviews as quickly as possible to bring in the rep points. I don't understand it, there …

ChatGPT - what do we flag as?

How do we best flag [fairly obvious] suspected ChatGPT answers? Do we need to flag for a mod every time, or spam… or…? These are usually already attracting human attention - comments underneath, a dow …
