Receiving a comment on a post to a $999 product, I've noticed this user repeatedly posting links to their product. Predominately within comments, there are also answers that loosely disclose their affiliation.
This topic is widely discussed, such as:
As long as the promotion was useful, relevant, or otherwise impossible without the product, it would seem acceptable.
Many of these posts are relevant in that this product accomplishes the goals of the OP using built-in functionality of the commercial product.
However, most of the original questions relate to implementation using the Flex SDK, and do not seek recommendation to other products.
Would this self-promotion be within bounds of acceptable use, or should these items be flagged?
It should also be noted there are questions on Stack Overflow specifically for this product, in which support provided by this user is applicable. Also, this user has made quality contributions beyond these cited below.

- No. there isnt. Spark DataGrid is quite primitive [...] We have added a number of features to all the SDK grids, but grouped columns for spark is not one of them.
- We did some work on this front - bottom line - there is no easy way for the built in SDK. [...]. Our Ultimate Grid has a property, enableHeightAutoAdjust which makes this possible, but that is a separate commercial component. Disclaimer : I work for [removed].
