Hi, 

Isn't it possible to ignore these patches in stackalytics? If the motivation is 
to look better there, this would solve the problem. 

Br,

Technical solutions to social problems rarely do more than increase complexity 
for everyone involved. Communication, documentation and education are likely 
our best options here, but I still question the degree to which the people 
pushing these sorts of contributions will actually get the message since it's 
obvious they aren't engaging meaningfully with the community before attempting 
to contribute.

Could demographic profiling help us figure out the primary motivation (whether 
it's testing the waters, stats padding or employers pushing their staff to 
contribute patches before they've had time to actually assimilate our community 
norms and expectations)?
