Why is this "professional pilots forum" full of amateur idiots please?

One of the thread management problems we are faced with regularly relates to the basic question of what the forum is about.

(a) if commentary is restricted to a specialist group, fine, but the whole thing becomes elitist and, very possibly, we miss out on a bunch of interesting things

(b) if commentary is restricted to folks of competence above a given level, (a) probably still applies and we lose the potential of whatever inherent training/educational value may vest in a given thread.

Senior management edicts indicate that we should transfer appropriate threads to the Questions forum. I interpret that to mean threads which rapidly lose their way/provide little interest for the readership or for which requests are made from the floor for such to occur.

So far I have not had any PMs etc so requesting.
