Folks looking to ask questions don't have to worry: "Is my question too basic for this site?"

I think that's the point; some questions are too basic for EL&U, and people asking questions there should have that concern.

As an example, here's a recent question:

Could anyone explain what does it mean when someone texts "I would talk later". IS this a polite way or not? And how much possibilty does it expressed?

After eight edits, four downvotes, and five votes for closure, the question has finally worked itself into this state:

What does it mean when someone texts "I would contact later" when answering the question, "When will you contact?". Is this a polite expression or not? And what does the word "would" mean here?

While I feel for the OP (and I left a comment trying to answer the question), I still believe that the question itself – even after its incremental improvements – is hardly appropriate for a forum that is "dedicated to serious language enthusiasts." I like the idea of having a community where such questions are welcome, and others will gladly give answers to such questions, without some people feeling like they are being responsible members of the community by downvoting and voting for closure. (And, don't get me wrong, I'm not taking a shot at those voters – in fact, I was one of the first to cast a close vote!)
