And this is why I don't answer marriage fatwa questions. Well, one of the many reasons.

Someone also keeps on upvoting a lot of low-effort and easily researchable questions.
Also I wanted to ask whether i should edit question, to make them less personalised and more generic, Often i would have to change the question as a whole. The above linked and below linked questions are solid examples

@AbduRahman it can be really hard to tell if this is actually problematic voting or just someone who legit has the same question.
if you're seeing a pattern, do flag it for moderator attention. vote abuse is taken very seriously.

Q: Please vote based on quality

Jon EricsonAs a former moderator on one site that deals with religious texts, a user on the three strictly religious sites, and a participant on religious topics that pop up from time to time on other sites, I've come to appreciate votes that reflect objective quality in a post. I personally think atheists ...

seeing a new user with exactly one upvote on every single post, definitely sus.
i don't see anything wrong with editing questions to make them more generic, as long as the core of the question is retained.
we've had problems in the past with people twisting an honest question into something that wasn't asked, just so they could post their own preferred answer.
e.g. a user asking for something from a Hanafi perspective, someone would remove that requirement just so they could post their own non-Hanafi source.
so... don't do that.
but clarifying an existing question, generalizing it, making it more focused, that's all good stuff. as long as it ultimately still results in them getting the answer they're actually looking for.
users can get possessive of their posts though. if they just rollback to their original (presumably worse) version, i wouldn't fight them on it.
easier to just post a new "canonical" question and self-answer that instead.
