MODERATORS
You don't think there's any middle ground between the two? None whatsoever?
Well, no. If there were a middle ground, we'd all be using it.
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.
