I answered the following question and saw the asker was downvoted: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2769810/what-are-the-elements-of-mathbbz-3x/2769815#2769815

While I agree its not your run of the mill "here's my question, here's my attempt to try to solve it, here's why I can't find/understand any other relevant doc that is in the internet" 

It also was a purely syntactic question, which I feel requires less explanation. The video features some text which is pretty ambiguous to someone not well experienced with the field. And the user, I'd imagine was relatively new to Abstract Algebra and was legitimately unsure how to interpret. 

Do we want to discourage this type of question in the future? I feel a bit confused since to me the value of this community isn't limited to itself, but also to how much it improves the value of other external resources.
