Yes and no. An account on this site can help you find your questions (and the answers thereto) easier, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and before posting you should search the site anyway … whether the question already has come up before. OTOH the I want to ask a question of the Perl Monks. Where do I start? FAQ could be linked more prominently, e.g. somewhere near the top of The Monastery Gates. My priorities regarding design vs. security are obviously different from yours, but at least part of your concerns seems reasonable to me.
