You see, it looks like two other members supported my ideas.

I thought I explained my point with was a bit different: the site is overwhelmed with dead questions. They are usually not dead because no one could not answer yet, but more usually because answering in the form "Add a solution" makes no sense at all. The problem is: author of good but just difficult question suffer, because the chances to get noticed become less and less with time.

Imagine how we pick question for answering. For example, I post the answer in form of solution to a small percent of the questions. In many cases I'm not competent enough, but in many cases I just click the one question and see that answering makes no sense. It looks like scanning the lost of questions takes more time then answering (even though I tend to put a lot of detail in the answer). This is bad, but we hardly can improve this situation.

What's worse, if the question was not notices for certain period of time, it has less and less chance to get noticed. Why will scan all the history from recent to old? One can click "unanswered questions" and see more of them per page, but the problem is then needle in a haystack. If dead questions were gradually removed, it would be much easier.

Unfortunately, this a part of a bigger problem: I can see that the Questions & Answer site gets worse and worse with time as more poor questions and more poor answers arrive increasingly compared to decent stuff. There is nothing wrong with it, but good stuff gets lost. Isn't it a time to think of harder moderation of such posts? I know, this is not an easy problem, but reputation of the site suffer.

Just think about it.

Thank you very much,
