The quality of questions is really quite poor. Even though this is ostensibly
"a question and answer site for biology researchers, academics, and students.", we attract and tolerate a lot of questions/nonsense from laypeople about anything remotely related to life. This site doesn't seem to have a very clear vision and thus moderation is rather inconsistent (myself included). Meta participation is also very poor which makes identifying and addressing problems difficult. C'est la vie. —
