While you may not know it I often clean up the questions!
I try to do the least amount of edits so the thrust of the question is clear and is grammatically correct (as best as possible) and have any typos and spelling errors fixed. If a picture is added via a link I post it within the question and when people dump a crash report I remove it and post it as an attachment.
While I tend to focus of the Mac stuff I also try to hit the others when things are slow.
As far as nudging OP's I think you'll see @mayer @oldturkey03 and myself often post comments in the question trying to get more info so a clearer answer can be fleshed out.
We also delete clearly off the wall questions or ones that are click bait.
Answers are always tricky! Clearly spam is deleted, I often try to move duplicates under the oldest answer that is the same or move them up to the question when it's just another case condition. The system does a good job in collapsing multiples. I don't like losing the multiples as sometimes the fact they are present offers credence to the question or answer.

Up and Down voting an answers which are better or wrong so the better answer is on top is the goal in my opinion. I mostly upvote but in some cases I need to down vote. If there are multiple answers which where posted within an hour I assume neither one knew of the others answer and vote both up.

I do agree with @oldturkey03 we do need to scrub down questions that never get a response from the original poster when further details where asked for and never given.
