Of course there's a middle ground, that's much closer in my ideal world to StackOverflow than it is to Yahoo Answers or Quora.

    Nobody here is suggesting for you to use Yahoo Answers.

    I'm just using it as an example of what a Q&A site with inadequate moderation looks like. If you can't see that then I don't think we're going to see eye to eye no matter how long this discussion continues.

    Okay? But why? StackOverflow's moderation is inadequate as well.

    By "inadequate" I don't mean having room for improvement. I mean: lacking, weak, light-handed. By that definition, SO's moderation is if anything, overdone, not inadequate. Personally, I love it as a technical resource, even if contributions are difficult to make in line with moderation policies.
