This meta states that these questions are off topic, but I was wondering how I should flag these questions when they crop up. I have seen them be closed as primarily opinion based, too broad, and as off topic in different cases. However, looking at the reasons to close for off topic, none of them really fit. This is about the closest reason, but it still doesn't really fit.
- Questions that ask for recommendations of games, software, or hardware are off topic.
They aren't asking for a game recommendation, but rather a strategy. When I see them, I generally flag them as primarily opinion based, or too broad. Is this the correct practice? Also, as a related problem, if there are old questions of this form, is it bad practice to flag them as too broad or primarily opinion based when they are still open and have an accepted answer, like this one?
Note: This is not a duplicate of this meta, I understand that they are off topic, my question is how to flag them, which is not addressed at all in this question.
This kind of question applies only to the original poster.
and the second answer pretty much nail it on "primarily opinion-based". No answer will provide a definitive answer and that will change depending on who answers.
