I reckon about 20% of the things I find on Stack Overflow while searching via Google are questions that have been closed for being irrelevant.
And my favourite questions are often those ones in the 20%, for example, when you type "1nf vs 2nf vs 3nf" into Google, the top page, is this StackOverflow post:
Despite the fact that the top answer has 218 upvotes, the question has been closed as 'not constructive' (which is cearly not the damn case, it's the top hit in Google for fuck sake!).
Stack Overflow should either stop this from happening somehow, or back their own goddamn policy and deindex or remove this content from the site.
That answer can no longer be improved upon, despite the fact it has such high search ranking, because some idiot deemed it 'not constructive'. What hogwash.
There is clearly a gap in the market right here that Stack Overflow either needs to plug, or someone else will (and at their expense).
