I was just reading the 'DPR olympics' thread. Some moron posted his level 10 eidolon that had a 4 more evolution points and 1 more attack than are possible at his level (just verified in HeroLab) - not to mention that it equipped 2 amulet slots (one of which is 45k gp) and didn't have 2 necks. Then you have 100 other replies from idiots who blindly accepts his cheating Eidolon as proof to nerf.
Is there some kind of online tool to vet BS builds? Maybe we need a rating system for post? I'm just slightly worried that Paizo employees read these retarded rants and rebalance classes based on them.
It also makes me wonder how few people actually follow the rules and if character-vetting should be enforced by PF Society (such as online verification, herolab .por file, etc)
Summoner is the single most often screwed up class in terms of people declaring OP! The vast majority of the time when people post something that seems to be good to be true, it just flat out is (via cheating).
I wouldn't worry too much about the people at paizo reading too much into this. While they do check on this forum on a regular basis i've seen a lot of "We only pay attention to what we deem important" type comments from them, i'm assuming in an attempt to subside nerd rage. There is little to no chance of one of them reading a poorly constructed scenario/character and viewing that as the norm, which seems to be your concern.
People believe things on here the same way people use wikipedia. Smart people just know to check your sources.

Or genuine accounting errors and not understanding the fine print (like doubling the cost of con and str on a large Edelion's point buy)
There are also other terms for people making mistakes or trying to cheat. One or two of them might be printable and less antagonistic.
Thread locked. This thread is unnecessarily antagonistic, and the Paizo staff is capable of determining if any mechanics need to be adjusted (or not).
In the future, please use the flagging and FAQ system to bring things to the staff's attention.
