In situations like you describe above, the solutions are not bad in that they do attempt to answer the question.  However their quality is dismal.  Whenever I com across situations like this I do the following:

1. Add a comment stating that they should conform to the quailty and suggestions found in the appropriate post above.

2. (If I have the time) edit the post to match the suggested quality in the above posts.  

The reason for doing #2 is that some (maybe even most) users don't know how to really give a suggestion for software without simple doing a link only answer.  Showing them by example, I've found to be the best way.  Hopefully they see the edit and learn.
