I like lurking around SO as there is a lot of good knowledge flying around, and I've seen my share of closed questions. Honestly, I hate the abuse of power you see on many forums, but I've never seen a topic closed without appropriate justification. SO is meant to be a place to ask for a solution to a specific problem you've narrowed down as best as you could, not copy-paste a bunch of stuff you don't understand for people to analyze. I think it's awesome, because it keeps the quality very high, and makes it an extremely useful resource to quickly find solutions to not-so-obvious problematics. Posting links to some of those threads would help having a better look at what you've witnessed though, maybe as someone said it's specific to certain areas of the site?
