Please see my report on the code spammer below (a spammer in Q&A forum, posting bare code dump, with no sense, no explanation, ignoring warnings about spamming); CodeProject ID was "slayer091".
This account was disabled (probably yesterday). It looks like this person created an account again — same ID, same topic in question and same manners.
Please see:
Disables account:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=8991346[^].
New account:
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/slayer091[^].
Is such scenario possible? What can be done?
Thank you,
—SASergey A Kryukov

 Looks like they've stomped the offender...

I don't slap anybodies wrists.
I might hurt my delicate fingers...

It is indeed the correct place.
Go back to the article, and at the top next to the rating stars is a red flag. If you click on it, one of the options is "plagiarized". % of those, and the article disappears. But report it here as well, so others can decide if it warrants a flag!

Maybe it is time for me to go to bed - I just don't see the red flag anywhere. I see the "Discussion bubbles", but clicking on them sends me to the bottom of the page to the Comments and I don't see the flag there either and I don't see it if I start entering a comment.
I tried switching between "fixed" and "fluid" layout and I tried loading the page up in IE8 and Google Chrome.
Do I have to rate the article to get to the red "plagiarized" option?

The red flag is right at the top of the article, next to the discussion bubbles. I believe you have to have a certain reputation before you see it though.

No - it looks like it is a level problem. You don't have enough reputation yet to see the flag (this may be a anti-sock puppet thing).
For the moment just report it here and when you reach the appropriate reputation level. Which reputation you need to boost to see it, I don't know!
I see it, but when I log in as my cat (it's a long story, don't ask) I don't.

I have reached the level that allows me to do this now. You need Silver level (500 points) under Organiser ranking.

He even plagarised the link back to the original website. About as cunning as a duck that has been hired as proofreader (2nd class) to the Department of Uncunning at the University of North North-West Humberside.

What a shame! I don't understand why keeping CodeProject membership of this person who plagiarized the work. I think, he should be banned from our site.
