Earlier today, I came across a question asking for recommendations for software for an automotive repair shop. This question is clearly off-topic, and I voted to close it as "Questions seeking product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they become outdated quickly and attract opinion-based answers. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve"answers".

After re-reading the question, I noticed that the OP mentioned a particular software they used that "is a fabulous online web portal", and that the OP's username was the same as this software. It seems that this question is not only off-topic but also not asked in good faith. Is it worth flagging it as spam in addition to close-voting it?
