The following question: What tools can be used to facilitate code reviews after commits?

It has quite a few upvotes, many answers, and over 2k views. I didn't think this'd be the kind of acceptable question, yet it seems accepted. 2 moderators stumbled upon the question and didn't say anything.

Am I wrong in voting to close this?

    That question was quite old … and policies on what is on-topic change over time. Thanks for finding and closing this clearly off-topic question!

No you are not wrong to vote to close.

If you look at the dates when the moderators last interacted with the question you'll see that it was quite a while ago now - certainly before the "software recommendations" close reason came into force, and at a time when we thought such questions were OK.

The need for that close reason is apparent as there was a new spam answer that had been added to the question.

I've deleted the spam and closed the question.

  • Oh indeed, I forgot to look at the date. My bad! It was on frontpage, so I didn't think much more of it. Aug 20, 2014 at 13:21
