Looks plagiarised - one look and you'll know what I mean - but it appears to be from a variety of sources, and the only section I can find exactly is the last paragraph. And I can;t tell you exactly where that was copied form, as it's in several places: Google[^]
I'd suspect that this is all copied from one website, but I'm not sure which.

OP has been around for a while. Do you think we should just warn him off?

Probably - but I didn't want to just point out what showed he had copied it and give him clues to make it look "more original" next time.

And if it hadn't been his first post after six months here, it'd be easier...

I dunno. It's a pretty blatant copy'n'paste job from somewhere.
Is it better to have him ask nicely for his account back and promise to behave in future? Six months is long enough to get the idea we don't like plagiarism...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It's not spam - that's advertising or site driving without permission - but it is a form of abuse, if repeated.

Chances are that he figured he'd written all he needed to in the question subject, and couldn't be bothered to add any details in the actual question. He's brand new to the site, so it's likely he doesn't know how to ask a question at all. I'd have told him off, gently, and asked for clarification instead of closing the question. But we are all different!

All containing links to the same commercial product, which I'm sure we've had spam from previously.

I'm also suspicious that this question[^] could be a setup for the spam answer, although it took nearly three months for the payload to arrive.

Some of the text is copy'n'pasted, some is slightly modified, but the examples boil down to the same, and everything is in the same order.
Intelligent plagiarism, but still plagiarism.
