Going to be honest. I really feel like people are making a larger deal out of this than it is.
It takes what, 15 seconds to realize a PR is stupid. Close it and lock the conversation.
This is always possible when you use platforms like github. You have to interact with outside variables. Don't like it? Turn off all collaboration.
Seriously this is one of the least annoying things about managing open source projects, and it's lead to people getting interested in collaboration.

- aaomidi 5y agoI've seen this. I honestly still can't see it as a big deal. Especially with the changes DO has made this time around.
- 0xdeadb00f 5y agoIf you don't want these low effort PRs then don't opt into hacktoberfest? Though, I can see a lot of stuff in the twitter tag where people are making PRs on repos that haven't opted in. Maybe DO should just not do hacktoberfest anymore.
- aaomidi 5y agoAlso if you hate dealing with stupid PRs then open source development really might not be for you.
- gruez 5y agoI can deal with the occasional weird person on public transit. However, if a random company were incentivizing people to be intentionally weird on public transit as part of some social experiment, I'd be pretty pissed.
- grayhatter 5y agoIs DO trying to get people to open spam PRs? Or is it just noise generated by trolls trying to game the system?
