I can only assume it's because the OP didn't contain a solution attempt? I think the OPs were acceptable in these cases because they were "atomic" problems, where you either had a solution or you didn't. They didn't know where to start.

Even if the AM was right, a post consisting of a lone link is the worse of them all. It's very hypocritical (and rude) of someone purporting to point out the OP's lack of effort!

(I'm not either AMs.)
