You can try to prevent low quality content before it happens, or do it after it happens. Stack Exchange chose the latter. Not everything needs to be automated, and I have seen questionless questions which were good and on-topic. I don't deny that there are many many out there which are not, which is why I suggested a notice instead of absolute rejection. | |

Well, I don't think I've ever seen a question-that-wasn't-one that was good or valuable, and I've seen many posts-that-aren't-questions that were completely worthless and needed serious work. Everything is telling me that this is an easy way to automate quality control... | |
