SuggestionHow to use this forumadminChris Maunder18-Jun-12 2:55 
The spam and abuse forum is a place to report content that may have slipped past other members. To have content removed, multiple members need to report a piece of content (or a member's account) and so if you find something abusive, or that is spam, hidden in a seldom visited corner of the site you can report it here so others can review and report (and hence close) if necessary.

Not really spam as such, could be reputation building.
The older answer (the one about the anlges) does look like he's solved it himself & posted his solution. It is harder to say for today's as I don't have the times. The only thing he's done wrong IMO is getting shirty with CPallini et al in the comments of the angles question.

There is nothing too bad in it. What's really wrong: I'm sure that this site should block self-accepting of answers, or, even better, not accept self answers. It would not be a real harm to people who found a great (or not so great, but voting system will play here) answers: such person can always write a short Tip/Trick article.
 
A good number of members use self answers to build "reputation". Some of such members lost their membership due to reporting on this forum followed by abuse reports, but generally the community reaction is slow. You are just peeking a wrong target. This person is not really bad. Who cares about such reputation? But, it contaminates the site and creates poor moral climate, lowing down the reputation of the site and motivation of others. Trash matters.

People, I'm really sure we should not tolerate certain things. Please understand: this is not about politeness. To me, personally, it's cool if someone talks in not quite an appropriate manner. This is something which is totally against everything we try to do here to help people:

It would be easier for me to answer if I knew if you saw the original post and comments. I make a big difference between manners and attitude. It was yes another comment by OP "If you don't know the answer be quite". Can you see my point?

[EDIT]
 
Unfortunately, the post has gone (probably automatically removed due to abuse report), but not the author's account.
Originally, it was a "question":
 
Title: "I don't know what to do".
"Question" body: "Please tell me what should I do next" (with some grammar mistakes and "textspeak").

This is what I was afraid of: it looks like this post was automatically deleted, because of abuse reports on that "question".
 
But it was something like that:
 
Title: "I don't know what to do".
"Question" body: "Please tell me what should I do next" (with some grammar mistakes and "textspeak").
 
It's really pretty funny, because it looks like a nice parody, using the extreme exaggeration method, on many our inquirers. Smile | :)

I am not sure about. There are more answers in the threads pointing to 3rd party tools. Some freeware and other commercial. As example: Compare Two database Table Structures in SQL 2008 r2[^]
 
At least in that solution, they say "commercial" in advanced.
