I answered more than 7000 questions on Quora with a heavily enforced Be Nice Be Respectful policy. My monthly pageview count is hovering around 200,000 and I have a lot of followers in addition to the Top Writer title. These questions often started vague and incoherent because the asker did not know the vernacular for that problem domain. It is very frustrating to be unable to express the question in a way an expert can understand. As an expert, I wrote an initial answer and asked the poster to clarify the question. Once we clarified the question, I would re-write the question and incorporate some of the comments into my answer. Other experts can then answer the improved question without spending mental energy on parsing its meaning. Quora has a feature to comment on questions and not just answers, but it has been well-hidden on the mobile device despite my many pleas to make it more visible so we can improve the question before writing an answer. Have you ever tried to describe an automotive noise in sufficient detail with enough precision so a mechanic can diagnose the problem? They can communicate with each other easily, but most people don't have that knowledge. That's how it is for non-expert programmers attempting to ask a question on SO. So, they ask it on Quora instead. :)
