Well, since this is a site people have a need for, look for and use, that must mean the process involving your "quality guidelines" is wrong, isn't it?
However, you seem to imply there's something wrong with the site.
Let me ask you a question, who decides whether a site is "right" or not? Google or the people that use the web? What was the original purpose of PageRank?
You can make excuses all you want, but fact of the matter is that Google's Search Results quality has been plummeting over the past couple of months and it all stems from Google pretending to better know what people want than the people themselves.
