<p>At the moment, the <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Categorized%20Questions%20and%20Answers">Q&A</a> section seems to allow anyone to post a question. Answers to these questions are looked over by some shady high level character (I'm guessing they live in a smoke filled, wood paneled room, but I might be wrong there), before being accepted for display.</p>
<p>It's my understanding that the Q&A section should be a repository of good, well defined questions to which the answers should be general and useful. An extened version of the FAQ if you will. At the moment some badly defined, misplaced or just plain silly questions are appearing (<a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=44047">eg. this misleading title</a>). If the Q&A section gets filled up with bad questions it will end up being of no use to anyone.</p>
<p>My suggestion is that both answers and questions are approved by an editor before being displayed (possibly making an exception for [Newest Nodes]). What do people think?</p>
