StackOverflow has its share of problems, including overzealous moderation. I do civic duty by often voting for reopen and moderating the reopen queue. That said, removing moderation is not the solution. If you look at the unmoderated new questions, lots of questions are literally incomprehensible. A significant portion are homework or exam questions directly copy-pasted, but without enough context to answer - e.g. referring to table or figures or code examples which is not included in the question. Such is the sad reality of a widely known site in todays eternal september.
