Let’s put it this way. It’s not the sort of thing that would garner a official warning (unless someone started doing it persistently), but it’s also not something we wish to encourage.
From the General Questions Rules:
We prefer that posters not clutter up GQ with very simple and easily researched questions (e.g., What’s the capital of North Dakota?). On the other hand, if you have done some research and you have some additional questions, that’s fine. Personally, I am unlikely to take action unless a poster has made a habit of opening such threads.
ETA: A certain degree of snark is acceptable in GQ. Where it becomes a problem is when people start to take offense and a fight begins to break out. If that looks to be a possibility, I may say something to get the thread back on track.
