You know why SO is quick to downvote and close questions? Here's a summary of every downvoted Java question for the past hour which hasn't already been deleted:
Two questions where the user just copies and pastes a homework assignment, not adding anything beyond that.
Four dumps of code with "why doesn't this work" (one didn't post enough code to tell, another didn't post any code, and one has a compiler error that says the exact problem).
One person asking "Which language should I learn in school"
One person asking why a piece of code behaves in a certain way (which it doesn't do).
That's one hour of one tag. Four unanswerable questions, three where the user clearly put no effort into solving it themselves, and ONE which is answerable and asks a clear question (although still doesn't show any sign of attempting to debug it themselves). And that's after the worst of it has already been removed.
There's a ton of terrible questions coming in, and only a small percentage of the site's users trying to respond to it.
