Maybe some one (who's good at writing) could make a closedforreasons.org and you could just put the link in and close the issue anytime someone posts such an issue.

The site could try to be as polite as possible, explaining that your time isn't free. You're not there to cater to them or give them free labor. You are interested in bug reports but only if they contain a minimal complete repo and explain what minimal means, what complete means, and what repo means. There could be common links like closedforreasons.org/mcve closedforreasons.org/rude closedforreasons.org/nofreelabor closedforreasons.org/notyouremployee closedforreasons.org/outofscope closedforreasons.org/askingfortutorial etc...

It will certainly piss some people off but maybe after a hopefully short while it would be seen as a gentle nudge by everyone that's been through it.
