I believe certain mods are banning more for this kind of behavior. Someone I know quite well from here recently got a ban for telling someone to throw themselves off a cliff. I'm sure he wasn't serious, it qwas to do with a film or something..
But still, yes some mods are banning for this kind of thing, and it is part of the rules anyway I believe. Well, something about not harassing other users.
Also, with a fresh topic, a lot of users rush to get in there first and usually because they want to be quick, their post will reflex that. I wouldn't expect to find useless advice in a thread with someone seeking help until about 5-10 minutes after it's been posted, cause the helpful person needs to focus on what they are putting and it can take a few minutes.
