>the overly zealous moderators have ruined the welcoming community image.

I'm glad someone said it. Before they would at least leave a comment, or ask the user to elaborate or rephrase the question, now they just close. I see so many questions closed INSTANTLY, with no explanation, and most of the time it's not even rightly so.

Of course the vague rule about rules defined by the community allow them to do anything. Once again, moderation has ruined another website.

Not to mention that it's not noobies that are affected. I've had many questions closed and only to be reopened once I made my case. I've had comments where people THANKED me for asking it because they had the exact same question and that I had reopened it. I got sick and tired of doing this so I pretty much unmotivated to post any new questions (or maybe 500 questions is enough)
