I think this would probably be more trouble than it's worth, though the idea has some merit. It would require timely intervention by someone who could consider the node, and who also wouldn't just approve it. I suspect that any attempted change would be mostly ignored, with questions being OK'ed much as before.

But I wonder whether there might be some sort of required "test" that one needs to pass, in order to start posting questions. Read one (or more) of the many articles on how to post, and then answer a few questions to check that they understood. If so, then they can post; otherwise, go back and try again. Not that I'm into tests or elitism, but so many first-time posts are a mess, and this could be avoided by just a little learning.
