By immediately framing questions as either good or bad you've shown that you're part of the problem. If someone's question doesn't make sense to you, that might mean you're not qualified to answer it. You don't have to weigh in on everything.
There might be a discussion to be had about how to teach users what a bad question is, or how many is too many, but I don't understand why we should let people who repeatedly fail to clearly ask a question keep asking. Most people have no such problem.
In fact, when experienced posters politely point out what the rules are and where to read more about them, you start to see new posters fall into 2 categories:
People in category 1 usually have no further problems using the site. People in category 2 usually end up banned.And of course, there are experienced users who are jerks and don't point out rules or don't do it politely. They should not be excused. But letting new posters continue to pollute the site with terrible questions isn't going to help anyone - especially not the people posting the question.
