One guy suggests something, the asker says yes, another guy suggests something completely different, and the asker says yes again.

I generally don't.  It's part of intellectual training to be able to ask a well posed question.  For want of being able to educate the world, I just don't engage with this kind of incoherence.

I'm in.

When I answer questions here I don't think about that I am educating the world and this is a great lofty job that I am doing, I contribute here simply because I like to discuss about mathematics.

Anyways, what we need is guided reference of how to ask questions, and when a user ask such questions we can simply refer  that url.

@FFM, you misunderstand me.  I'm saying that "for want of being able to educate everyone", that is, because I cannot educate everyone, I make a choice about what to focus on.
