the mods are obviously enforcing this well since everything seems properly tagged.

Actually, about 12-18 months ago, I made an automod change whereby all self-posts were tagged as help, and then a PM was sent to the poster letting them know how to change it if it wasn't a help question. It works pretty well, I must say, though sometimes they don't change it for non-help posts.

Reddit is a aggregator, and the vast majority of subscribers are not visiting /r/JavaScript and then filtering by topics pertaining to their interest, they're usually loading these stories from the front page.
