Should a question be closed if the asker mentions they might end up using other software?
Two thoughts: 1. Asking if a product ever had a particular feature is, at best, only on the fringes of being on-topic. I would not be surprised to see other people voting to close. The fact that Ramhound, or anyone else, did should not be surprising. 2. The question now has an exhaustively complete answer. It would be appropriate for you to accept it because it clearly answers the question.

Strange audit result
@PimpJuiceIT, my impression is that the folks responsible for the audit system view it differently from the average person doing the reviews. It's just part of gamifying the SE sites, and a certain percentage of bad audit questions is a tradeoff for the simplified maintenance of an automated system. As long as there aren't too many bad audit questions, the bad ones have the same effect as the good ones. But reviewers are willing to tolerate only so many "undeserved failures", then we lose reviewers. I suspect they won't want to complicate the system for something that happens only rarely.

Should we edit out potentially inappropriate content if they might be an important part of a question?
I suspect Dr. Dickhopper would be quite offended by your observation. :-)

Why was my flag to stop my bounty rejected?
When I submitted it, the screen refreshed and showed the bounty. So some may be a case of just not giving the question or edit enough time. A lot of your questions contain a very sparse description that requires the reader to invest some brain power to scope out. Some are just a sentence or two plus an animated GIF (I enjoy watching those with popcorn). A more explicit explanation might attract answers without a bounty. But if such a high percentage of your questions need a bounty, there's probably something about the questions that can be improved to attract answers without a bounty.

Mokubai already answered the question. Let me just make an observation. You've burned through a ton of rep offering bounties on your questions (maybe 10 bounties just since about Dec). Bounties should be exceptions, needed only rarely. If you need that many bounties, it's worth examining why. You received good answers, which suggests the questions were capable of attracting them. I won one myself that wasn't needed. You had an old question that you edited and almost immediately offered a bounty on. I saw the edit and was already preparing the answer. (cont'd)

Manufacturer & Company tags are back. Again
Ancient post; just to add a thought: a manufacturer tag adds value only when there is something unique to those products or to the required solutions. Logitech wireless devices use a proprietary wireless interface, so that's a case where the company-specific tag is valuable. At the other extreme, Logitech speakers aren't different in any way from other brands, so [logitech-speakers] is a bad tag because it will attract fewer answerers than [computer-speakers]. Some of the over-granularity might be better handled by eliminating the tag or replacing it with a more generic one. But good approach.
