As somebody who spent quite a bit of time spreading the word and getting caught in some conversations regarding this post, I want permission to keep independent statistics regarding how much my actions are fruitful. I will not target posts but I will certainly keep track of the flags I raise and the places I leave an EoQS comment, and see what the responses say and keep track of them. I want to do this to evaluate my effectiveness as a community moderator. Can I?
This is because I want visual gratification that the enforcement is taking place continuously. I want to see the improvement on a graph, on a chart, on a piece of paper. I keep statistics, and I want to see these dwindling, and that will tell me I am doing a good job. I want a return for the work I do, in terms of how low-quality answers are dwindling and/or regular PSQ answerers are being checked. Where can I procure these statistics, and if not do I have permission to keep some of mine?

If somebody can suggest SQL threads which count PSQ answers and flagged replies to EoQS comments, it would be helpful, for example.

@XanderHenderson: in your posting id enforcement of quality standards, you refer to "Math SE's policies regarding quality" . Many other postings I have seen either have links about How to ask a good questions and other postings of that kind. I just want to ask whether there is a document (not a posting) that clearly states in legal terms what the minimL policies are, and what constitutes a violation to he policies within Stack Exchange (dictated by the company, not its subscribers or members)?

@XanderHenderson: I am not an educator and I don't have to deal with cases of cheating in class. I can see why many in MSE want to some sort of rules on how a question should look and so on, but a clear set of rules of engagement with help drawn some better policies. Just like are beloved US constitution.

No such legalistic policy exists. The quality standards were created over time via community consensus. It is, I think, important to note that there is a very wide spectrum between very-low-quality questions and amazing questions. There is a lot of room for quibbling at the boundary. However, in this setting, we are mostly interested in users who frequently and consistently answer questions which are fairly uncontroversially of poor quality.
Note, also, that this isn't about catching cheaters. It is about building a quality resource which will be of service not just to the person who thinks to ask a question, but also to future readers who might have a question answered by searching the existing content.
