That said, I do agree w/ the thought that lies behind them. Here are a couple places I have brushed up against these issues: Should the standards for closing questions be relaxed somewhat for old questions?, & Are we seeing a dramatic drop in answers per question? | |

You can flag (or with a bit more reputation, vote-to-close) questions that have problems which would lead to not getting answers (like being vague or broad or off topic). Outside answering questions or removing ones that we have some grounds to, you may be able refine your search criteria a little using the search facility, or by querying the database. | |
| Feb 8, 2018 at 23:30 | comment | added | Nick Cox | Sorry; but on your last proposal: artificial answers are not good answers. More crucially, they won't be accepted if the OP doesn't notice them (very likely in the circumstances you describe) and they won't be upvoted if they aren't genuine. | |
