###In many cases, software recommendations are not a question of spam.

Instead, product recommendations are off-topic at the SuperUser site (see the last bullet point in second list). If someone clearly asks for recommending software for a task

  1. flag the question as off-topic

  2. give them friendly advice to search (and maybe ask) at Software Recommendations StackExchange site – softwarerecs.stackexchange.com

  • there is 6200+ Q&A's already there – we are not going to duplicate their work here at the SuperUser

This way you are actually helping the OP to ask at the right community where their question has potential to obtain answers of higher quality and in shorter time.
