Are some questions here just to simulate activity? (palaver.p3x.de)

Sometimes I can't tell whether a question here is genuine and the author is interested in the answers, or whether they just copy-paste something to keep people busy. How am I supposed to approach that?

I thought about that, too. But it'd remove dozens of posts each day in various communities. Some of them good, with lots of genuine discussion underneath. I'd rather not lose that. And I'm not even sure if I'm right with my take on it.
