Do you really believe the people who post badly formed questions have taken the time to actually read the FAQ?  If someone doesn't know how to write well, how will telling them to write well help?

A person needing to write a question that communicates what they want to the best of their ability seems to obvious to be added to the FAQ.

The [how to ask page][1] has links to several good articles that all try to make this point.

> English not being the posters first language, should we really tolerate the level of illiteracy, sometimes deliberate, shown in some posts? I would assume a certain level of literacy would be require for any technical job. – John Gardeniers

So if you don't wish to tolerate it, you can choose to:

- ignore it
- add a comment asking the poster to fix their question
- down-vote it
- vote to close as unclear
- edit it and fix it

Are those options not enough for you, or did you think there was something else that needs to be part of the system to help weed out the bad questions?
