This is the right place for your question, yes. The Meta site is for questions about the site itself.
As for your actual question; As taken from the site tourtour:
UX Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for User Experience Designers, Information Architects, and Human Computer Interaction researchers. It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites. With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about user experience.
I think the problem with the posts that get closed is that people think the site is something that it isn't. We're not a discussion forum, nor are we a training / teaching site. We're here for professionals, or enthusiasts of UX. So as a result we expect a level of professionalism from posters. Namely - we need them to have done a lot of research before coming here.
Kind of like we're a group of UX colleagues really. You wouldn't go up to a workmate and ask them to go do your research for you. But you would ask them for advice on how to interpret a specific piece of research you've done and how to apply it to your specific situation.
