Actually it is pretty clear that it is the same user with more accounts.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Those aren't spam - that is advertising, which these aren't.

Sock puppets? Probably.
Two students on the same course? Could be.
Someone who didn't like the answer he got last time, and wants to see if he can get a "better" one by asking again? Almost certainly.

As long as they don't start flooding the system with them, I don't think it needs reporting - maybe a polite "don't do that again, please" instead? Everybody has to start learning somewhere! Laugh | :laugh:

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Already done.

True. I try to never stop learning. But not knowing something and willing to learn doesn't necessarily mean to be a pain in the neck Poke tongue | ;-P

This guy http://www.codeproject.com/Members/gopal-pradhan[^] seems on Mission CP Reputation.

http://www.codeproject.com/Members/goopu_2000[^] asked four question (mostly silly) and within minutes this member replied all the four with a fiver and accepted within minutes too !!

There were couple answers on which I commented and probably rubbed him wrong way and I am 99% sure this member in retaliation downvoted my 10 answers (even many of them highly voted and accepted).
Intriguingly, the name of member is Gopal and the other member's name is Goopu (In India people call Gopal as Goopu as nickname). Suspicion that one can be troll.

The links to four questions:
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/goopu_2000[^]
Difference between Web reference and Service reference ?[^]
Which is the best practise to use application state in asp.net page ?[^]
Can I pass arguments with server.transfer ?[^]

Thanks,

Solution 4 in eBay API's and VB.NET/ASP.NET[^] (message from 2010)

It is advertising a firm, but not sure if it should be considered as spam since it seems to be related to the question (2 years+ late but...)

When I see someone waking up an old question (in this case 2 years old), I usually go for at least a down-vote unless it is an extremely good answer.
This is advertisement and waking the post up moves it to the top of the list in QA so other people will notice it. I am going for the report.

This "review request" is merely a shameless commercial spam

Even though it's not so apparent (this time, this is software, not lady's bags or attorney services), but in fact this is a trivial spam: Shapzzle - Review Request[^] by http://www.codeproject.com/Members/RV-AppStudios[^].

Selling games on Microsoft store, even in a legitimate way, in not an excuse for advertising them at CodeProject.

Thank you, Nelek.

I'm not sure I got it. Are you saying that you know a way to see how many members reported for spam/abuse on a member account? How? Or and I missing something? Then how you see "4 of 5"?

Thank you,

When you report, it gives you 'N Votes', where N is the number of votes given. As 5 is needed to eliminate the perp, one can figure out how many votes out of five have been administered.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.
