Should the quality of questions be moderated here?

I think that some question are not what I expect here.
Moderation would add delay and some people to do it. Level of traffic in discussion is different then article or blog.
Some question are from new, that seem to post question to study on-line.
You can "report" for question that are out of place here

That is the point of moderation. To ensure the quality of the questions is at least sensible, if not high quality. There is already moderation on the site. For example, if people started swearing profusely, there would be extreme moderation. I would prefer swear words in a sensible question, than questions that don't make sense, or members who post many questions in a short space of time, some very similar in nature by the very same member. Some articles and blogs are moderated. Why not questions? It goes to the quality of a professional association and its members. I already suggested reformatting the question, but again, this should come from a moderator, not a private message, as a private message is not assured. A moderator is also neutral, and anonymous to other members, so "confrontation" or "conflict" is not seen. There was mention of "different nationalities"; this is not about the quality of English, so if that is the inference, it is misplaced. I am not even sure why that was brought up. Posting any question "regardless of the reason" I totally disagree with. There are more factors than ethics in question qualification, like appropriateness, clarity, and yes ethics. But ethics is moral principles and behaviors, so I am questioning the moral principles and behaviors of some members who post some questions. As previously mentioned, this site already has moderators, they call them "Community Engagement Specialists/Administrators" and they might remove an intelligent insightful question that contained a swear word (and understandably so) than an inappropriate question, that made no sense or, if one was pessimistically minded, seems to be simply placed to increase their question tally toward a badge. I know that is a leap, but in the absence of mind reading, it is one plausible explanation. In any case, this topic has sparked an interesting debate, and all points of views here are valid and welcome; I'm just not sure all questions are clear, appropriate or sincere, thus not necessarily valid or welcome.

@Sante, regarding your explanation, I have some questions.

First, what do you mean by 'Some articles and blogs are moderated'. Are you talking about this site? Because as far as I know, is not the same submitting and article than publishing a blog. There are tons of blogs, and I've never heard before that someone is moderating them. In order to post an article, white paper or presentation there is a process to follow.

Second, first times that I posted a question, I was somehow confused, and some great members sent me private inbox messages and explained how to do it properly and helped me to use the correct vocabulary and grammar...I have to recognize that my first times weren't easier as now. Nowadays, I'm glad for their private tips and notes, because I feel more confident when I ask/answer something to the community.

Finally, maybe is because English is not my first language (is the.3rd), when you said "I am questioning the moral principles and behaviors of some members who post some questions", I think that a bad behavior isn't the same as the quality of the questions. Also, won't be the same a question for a newbie than someone that have four certifications and twenty years of experience...then, I'm confused, are we talking about moral and ethics (then you should report this non-ethical behavior) or about the quality of the questions.

Thank you for your clarification.

Sante - There are contexts that exist for both moderated (or curated) information and communication boards like this one. The difference being in what the audience is looking to do and what they are willing to do to do it.

If you are looking to participate in a discussion or are looking for a variety of opinions on a topic, and have the time and patience to post, wait, review, search and comment, an un-moderated, un-structured board would be your venue of choice. Likewise, if there is some other motivating factor, like gaming an algorithm to obtain badges, that is within the context of the site.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a quick answer or refresher to a well-known topic, this type of board is very inefficient. The information can be questionable, the posts unwieldy and inconsistent and extracting relevant information difficult and time consuming. Which is the primary reason I just released a new, free SaaS tool, focused initially on PM subject matter - FindItFast.com.

FindItFast is designed around a curated Issue/Solution repository. and while each issue has a general comment section, the solution content is delivered through prescriptive advice (step-by-step instructions) and related links for additional in-depth discovery. The UI is modeled for mobile-use with tags and categories to make filtering and selection simple and quick.

We are adding to the the repository daily and are looking for contributors, users and feedback. I encourage everyone who has similar issues to yours to take a look.

I see some of the members asking obvious questions that would be in a CAPM or PMP exam. While the occasional questions are fine , Too many of them seems to suggest this is their only recourse for preparation.
While the PMBOK guide and Rita's Book are well known exam preparation books and sometimes some concepts may not be clear from those books, there are others like Headfirst and Andy Crowe explained in a simpler language that are more likely to clarify the understanding of concepts.

What helps me personally is the actual real world examples of using some of the concepts in PMBOK .

For example , I am more likely to get a helpful response If I was to ask questions like "How have you used Earned Value in a Project? Was it effective? What were the gaps ? What did it teach you?" instead of using a closed loop question like "What is Earned Value measurement" Which is more than likely to get a closed loop answer as well Which I might easily look up in a book or online.

I respect the wealth of knowledge that people have on this site but I also completely agree on one point with Cris Casey

"On the other hand, if you are looking for a quick answer or refresher to a well-known topic, this type of board is very inefficient."

I'm for self-moderation. We don't have to answer any questions we don't want to, and if something is offensive or spam we can always click the 'Report' button. I'm in a moderated group - different site and different topic. It can help to keep unruly people under control, but can get in the way of good dialog, as well.

I agree about the difference in Quality of questions . Some Questions encourage you to think and participate and use your experience and are quite pertinent to Project Management.
I really haven't looked at how a badge benefits people. If a badge is related to PDUs then I think it may be perceived that people are misusing this site to gain PDU's instead of giving back to the community.
If the administrators feel a strong urge to moderate , they can do so but they could potentially end up discouraging genuine contributors
