/r/flash (for the obsolete plugin, not the superhero) and /r/valve (for the game company, not the plumbing fixture) have this issue too. I get spammers not caring but you'd think actual users would look around a bit before posting. Maybe they have a totally different post flow than what I'm used to (e.g. using subreddits like hashtags instead of communities).

The official apps, new site and old site all allow you to create a post from the front page into any subreddit simply by specifying the name. I assume that's what's happening here.

Yep, that's why there is /r/FlashTV ... on the flipside, there is /r/psych, for the TV show, where people sometimes come with psychology related questions.
