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.

No messages whatever from that member?
BTW, don't delete the SPAM. I just can't report somebody as spamming if I haven't seen it.
Cheers!

I totally agree. That's the whole reason of posting the link of thread where the spamming was done.
In this case, I did not deleted the answers (there were 2). I left it as is. Looks like someone else did. Some crap like:
SPAM content removed now!
was posted twice.
Once you read it, report the member as spammer  , do tell me, I will update and remove his spam quoted here.

Sorry for reacting so late.
Anyhow the account is now disabled.

Poor Sandeep is really getting hammered, IMO, here[^]
by this memeber, http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=8976257[^]
Seems excessively abusive to me.
Why is common sense not common?

He's shouty, he's aggressive, but he doesn't seem that bad - I've had worse.
What does Sandeep think?

He was aggressive and after replying once (tried politely but...), I just walked away. No point in wasting time with such person.
Though I would agree he was not 'that bad'.

Absolutely - I do the same myself.
They won't learn if they won't listen, and all a response does is make them worse, particularly if you are calm and rational about it!
I just remember who they are, and don't bother with them again...

Yeah, got to maintain a black list! 
BTW, posted a new tip couple of days back - link in my signature - have a look and share your feedback.

I closed the question because it was a repost, not to mention the attitude. I posted a comment to him explaining my actions.
I'm happy to let the community respond in future.

I'm not doubting you, but he has not, as far as I can see, violated any terms of use.
