I have noticed a couple of people on SF that are "spamming" for a company called colasoft. If this was traditional one-liner spam I would be flagging it and moving on with my life.

However there is a reason i put spamming in quotes. Their answers aren't completely off-topic and in most cases the tool could have some use, just in my opinion isn't the first thing to try or in some cases the second, third or fourth thing to try.

John hereJohn here has been pushing colasoft products in all of his posts. The only reason it got my attention was that a month or so ago there was a user "anna" or somthing like that who did the same thing, just a bit more blatantly. So when I saw a post in the same pattern it twitched a nerve.

Ideas on how to handle this type of situation? Should i just flag it and move on with my life?
