He did send the question. In the same message. It's just that he was polite about it. He didn't send a greeting and wait for a response before continuing.

Yep, it's in there with "please use the public channel rather than DMs".
Some nettiquite, please.
Of course, in the process of typing out their question, they usually find the answer on their own.
I'm pretty sure that "rule" was more aimed towards "just ask your question" rather than "greet, make smalltalk, then ask your question".
I have similar rules, though I don't communicate them as aggressively, and don't ban people for breaking them, I just don't reply to greetings coming from people I know aren't looking to talk to me to ask me how I've been. It's a lot easier if you send the question you have instead of sending "Hi, how are you?" and then wait for 3 minutes to type out your question.
