> Is this site just for the "elite" and N00bs can just go their own way.

"Elite" is called "professional" in these parts. 

Basically, it is a site where "regulars" (aka high-rep users) [do the heavy lifting][1]. Those regulars mostly have jobs where the solution of problems similar to the ones appearing on this site is the daily grind. And they consider an analytical approach to these problems paramount. If a question does not contain enough information to be answered and it seems too bothersome to interact with the asker to get the information required, this question surely will have a tough position here and be ignored or closed. 

So basically, the answer to this question is "yes" if you define "elite" and "N00bs" accordingly.

This being said, questions are upvoted significantly less often than answers. Apparently, it is much harder to acknowledge a good question than is the case with a valid answer. Quite likely because a question is rather earning points for performance, while an answer simply has to be valid.
