<p>I can't speak specifically to this site, but on other SE sites I've had more than my share of closed questions.</p>
<p>In most cases, when I sit back and calmly look at it (pretending I'm not its author), I can usually understand <em>why</em> it was closed.
At that point I either delete the question or correct the problems that are now obvious to me.</p>
<p>Suppose people post answers to the problematic question.
Depending upon what is wrong with the question, correcting those problems may cause posted answers to become incorrect or appear to no longer match the (new) question.
The situation is even worse if any of those answers have received up-votes.</p>
<p>That's one of the main reasons why moderators choose &quot;<em>to act unilaterally, rather than allow the community to judge the question and close it (if necessary) by the customary number of votes</em>&quot;; simply to prevent anyone from posting answers.</p>
<p>And looking at this specific question, the first thing I notice is that there isn't a single question mark in either the Title or the Body.
On almost all SE sites, the Title should be a simple question, and the Body should contain a single question that is similar but possibly longer version of the Title question.
To me, regardless of what the posting actually says, lacking both instances of an actual question is a major indication that there is something seriously wrong with a post.</p>
