Pity the poor community members of Workplace. They already have to deal with an endless supply of questions from the clueless who think that the rest of the world owes them a job and pats on the head. These are not necessarily bad questions, but they attract awful answers. Well, maybe they are not bad questions. They are made up of grammatical sentences. They seem to narrate reality as the OP sees it. Sometimes they even offer an opportunity for a really good answer, giving the OP a dose of much-needed reality. However, for every sensible answer offered by a person who has a clue, it seems like there are two or three from the orbit of Jupiter. Does this make them bad questions? Or does it just mean that a community that has taken on the job of TWP has a whole lot of work to do.

These questions are the reality TV of Stack Exchange. Broadcasting them creates work for the community, because it attracts an extra crop of drive-by dweeb answers. So I don't think that Shog9's notion that these questions are the entire fault of the community for failing to police questions is, in fact, entirely fair.

What is the Goal of "Hot Network Questions"?
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to have a native comment-form return json instead of redirecting?

Thanks!
