If you read correctly, the task is to report scraper sites that rank HIGHER than the original site. Not the case in your scenario.
And in OPs context, not only does it rank higher, it's above ALL links. So you don't even need to visit the target page and in affect stealing traffic (and potential ad revenue) from the source.
Those sites didn't actually scrape anything. StackExchange publishes their full database dump, and it's CC licensed.
Do we need to differentiate from mechanical scraping versus manual scraping, though? Because realistically a hefty percentage of StackOverflow content are users manually scraping other sites, all in hopes of earning some imaginary internet points.
