Question: What should be the approach to someone who posts a large number of similar questions? Does SE have some method for general readers to call for a ban, or is this up to some upper-level moderator?
An added thought: in all the other SO or SE sections I visit, there is the expectation that one has done some research or attempts at answering before posting a question. In the case which led me to put up this meta-question, there was nothing to indicate any previous effort.  

Is it the case that, here in music.SE, it's considered acceptable to toss out questions without any background effort? To my mind, the series of near-identical posts was barely more complicated than asking "how does a violinist interpret Bach" followed by "how ... ...violist..." and then "guitarist..." , "piano" , and so on. 

Or am I being overly sensitive here and should just apply a `NOT(submitter=="some_guy")` filter to my browsing?

Answer: 
The community defines rules, and rules can affect a ban. The community itself should not campaign for bans of individual users -- they should flag them for moderator attention, so that action can be taken if indeed they are found to be in conflict with the community guidelines.

In the particular case of excessive question posting, the rate at which a question is posted has no bearing on whether or not it is a good or bad question. If someone reaches the user QPD rate limit and is posting nothing but gold-plated fantastic questions, the community should be thankful.

**However, questions should NOT be posted solely to artificially inflate the QPD site statistic.** That is not sustainable, and it's pretty obvious to the point of not making a difference since SE administrators can pretty clearly see what's going on.
According to the [The Complete Rate-Limiting Guide](https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/164900/238484) on Meta SE, under **Asking**, you can see that users are allowed to ask a

```
maximum of 6 questions per day
maximum of 50 questions per 30 days

```

So, every user is allowed to ask as many questions, as long as the questions are legitimate ones and not spam.

If you think that the questions of the specific user are spam, you can flag them for moderation attention and mention the problem there.

I, personally, think that they are acceptable questions, that the user asked all together.
