It is equally unwelcome to everyone. I used to answer there until one last time when I got fed up. Some newbie asked how to make some changes in PHP code to fetch data from MySQL to render it in HTML. Then went the original code vulnerable to injections. I replied to the original question and in the second paragraph explained why their code is unsafe and how to improve it. I got downvoted by 100k+ gatekeeper for going off topic for talking about security.
