It's not good though is it, because often the noob will post a question without thinking and may not even come back to check the replies. We are left beating ourselves up with the same old posts.

Therefore I would like to make a suggestion: -
  1. One person replies to the post stating that the OP's post is not clear enough / does not provide examples / is inflammatory / is not helping.
  2. NO-ONE ELSE POSTS until the OP reposts in a more helpful manner.
  3. Helpful replies flood in. Karma flows and the world becomes a nicer place.

Hopefully this will reduce some of the FUD and misinformation floating around. Comments please!
Good idea.
We would have to make sure, that everyone knows of this strategy.
