My post asks for suggestions for a provider in my area who performs like a other certain provider not in my area and who I do not know or have any reason to shill for. Her name is include in the post. Why is this a shill post?

in the self help center, admin prob felt you violated the rule about shill posts.  You'd have to ask them.

and using her as an example can be interpreted as a shill. You should repost, but exclude the provider's name and it should be ok. If you did intend it as a shill, you can post it on shill Friday.
