As a phrase goes: Never attribute to malice what is explained by ignorance. I think you are reading WAY too much into the motivations of people posting here. I think that the overwhelming majority of questions which get closed here are closed by people misunderstanding the scope of the site, either due to ignorance or confusion. Your attitude seems to consistently be "the users are idiots it's their fault!" and it comes through, even in the continuous stream of comments you post to new users. Blaming users for a bad UX is not appropriate at all.

| Dec 20, 2015 at 12:04 | comment | added | amon | @RobertHarvey well, given the amount of cross-posts from SO (“I didn't get any help there so I came here”), the spam metapher still seems to hold. It's certainly a creative interpretation of the problem. | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 0:56 | comment | added | Robert Harvey | Wikipedia also makes it clear that what they mean by "spam" is the repeated, persistent sending of the same message to multiple recipients. | |
