Why does the visitors to the TeX.SX (may be prospective TeX.SX user) have option to post Q & A as Guest and without proper signing/authentication before posting.
For example (Visitor to TeX.SX sees like this (screenshots attached)):
Possibility to Post a new question as Guest with Question boxes wide open before registration/login. (Screenshot below)
Implications: I see lot of answers with one line, "saying thanks", "Use this template", "it works for me too" etc... Are we attracting new users at cost of spammers and casual people because of which it creates more work load on current Users(commentators/editors) and many hard working people who maintain the clean site.
Should we have Improve the Question option open to unregistered users/visitors? I know it will be peer-reviewed but why to take up double work?

Should we have Improve the Answer option open to unregistered users/visitors?

Finally, Should we open too much as to allow anyone to touch the Q&A text? Why not give access to only Registered users
