<blockquote>not having a strict policy of "ask your question correctly or it gets closed"</blockquote> This doesn't work well in a Q&A format, as opposed to a more traditional threaded discussion. These sites and the Codidact software are for the former. Experience here and Elsewhere has shown that attempting to community-fix bad questions in a Q&A format creates a lot of noise that most users don't want to see. Quality is important. A site with 1000 questions of which 200 the users actually want to see is far worse than a site with just 200 good questions. To get there, noise-generators need to be culled and dispensed with quickly and ruthlessly.
