More complex questions are OK-ish, but the site's audience is not really setup for them.
They have to be asked in the sort of detail that most of those asking do not otherwise any answers end up either wrong (because of details not known at the time of writing) or at least as vague as the question. Also, a long question will put people off actually interacting with it which is one of the reasons people aren't going to change how they ask the question, that and sometimes people don't realise that their question isn't simple (though why they don't realise that when they can't search for a simple answer seems like an odd disconnect to me!).
