How, exactly, does SPAM (no site, but asking the same question numerous times, numerous profiles, and ages listed, with, say 10 flagged as dupes) get rated on the "most answers" leaderboard (see 1st answer for the question asked, and ranking)?

Ahhh I see it now.. Spammers are a funny bunch.. How many times have you got a spam e-mail with no links, or seemingly any point? No way to make money, nothin.

Here's the question (most of you have seen it) http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/887259 . It was asked at least 8 times with differing ages by the same person, then they changed profiles and asked it a few more times. Most were flagged as dupes, and merged, which made it have the most answers. Should this have been allowed?
-
No, and in fact everyone of those questions should of been rejected.

Yes, I saw this one! I don't know, but AB has some very queer things that happen. I have answered questions that went to a different question. And I can't post a damn thing more than a few sentences long. Weird!!!

I flagged it as Spam. Meh, it's the Leaderboard can't say this really outrages me. It'll be gone by next week anyway. Why not just ask AB-Staff by using the Feedback link?

Good catch--though it would be hard to discount legitimate answers to duplicate questions in the leaderboards. Thanks for the feedback.
