Yes, and deservedly so. It's not a question with an answer, it's not even a poll. Other communities would close it as "Chatfilter" or "GTKY". What's interesting is that it was ever allowed on SO, and that it stood as acceptable for so long. And I wonder if the fact that there was a time in SO's lifecycle where it was accepted was important to the site's success. It's the sort of question that fosters community and good will in a way that "MVC 4 Validation using Data Annotations and Jquery" does not.
