Does slightly rewording a question make it a better question?

Asked by Kelly27 (1501points) April 4th, 2009

I see a question, it gets pulled, it comes back with slightly different wording, what exactly has that accomplished? I notice that no one usually has a problem answering the first question before it got pulled so please can someone tell me what the point is of having to reword a question to make it a “better fit”?
We all have a different style of writing, we all have different personalities and it only seems natural to me that not every question is going to be worded the exact way a moderator thinks. Does this mean that moderators have a better grasp of what we all want, better than we ourselves know?
To elaborate on that further, the other day I was following a discussion where someone had a question pulled and a moderator helped them to reword the question the “correct” way and minutes later a different moderator pulled it because it didn’t fit their idea of a “correct” question.

Should there be a better standard than this for how, what and when to moderate a question?
