Oh boy, this posts gave me pause, until I read the answers. We shouldn't lower the bar, we should actually be raising the bar. The bar has been so low for so long that we don't even know if we have a bar. Askers that don't even attempt to explain what they are trying to do, nor the issues they are facing is literally the butter and bread of the site which was supposed to get the asker to do as much as possible so that the answerers, which time is more valuable, only focuses on the practical ways to solve the problem.
Removing closure doesn't fix the problem, it just exacerbates it. Ludin is on track with a potential solution, something that I've been asking several times: we need to delete more and doing it faster. If nobody cared about any of the half a million questions with only 2 comments asking for clarification for a month, we as collective shouldn't care either.
