I think everything will be better if they implement their guidelines in actual input forms to force users to provide more information and more context - not only in questions but also in answers. It's so easy right now to comment and pollute the thread and that's what they have to tackle as well. Besides that, more moderators and people reviewing what is posted can also help. Comments like "thanks" or "can you provide more context" should be on 1 to 1 basis, more like a messages.

SO is a very helpful website and companies are not even aware enough how much it helps them and how much money it saves globally.
