Help vampires: people that ask questions which have no value other than themselves. Duplicate questions are not "help vampires" by any means. This is a good example of that: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30721824/near-syntax-error http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30721824/near-syntax-erro... Side note: don't pass judgement on stuff or people you don't know. It's quite insulting.

First of all, if someone wants to answer that, more power to them. I'm talking about stuff like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/378959/is-there-a-static-code-analyzer-like-lint-for-php-files http://stackoverflow.com/questions/378959/is-there-a-static-... Good work closing that one! > Side note: don't pass judgement on stuff or people you don't know. It's quite insulting. You don't know who I am so I'm not sure why you think I wouldn't know about community management or content generation. I'm simply telling you that calling your users names is insulting. It's good advice not a reason to attack me.

  The Q&A format poorly handles the ever growing list of libraries that can do something. A wiki format is better for that. Maybe the documentation / examples that exists now. But sifting through dozens (this was closed before it got there) answers is more noise than signal. People aren't bothered to curate and clean old broken answers in such a format. Try slant.co for such a question instead.

While those telling the user who posted the question wer correct about deleting the comma, this question would have had immensely more value if they had simply said "don't build your query that way". There are many ways to mitigate SQL injections in Java - I would have up-voted any answer that responded with (e.g.) a parameter used query. So to me, this question's answers could in fact make it interesting and valuable.
