3 of 4 gone, 2nd spammer missing 1 kick more
M.D.V. 
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 helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This[^] article that's at the moment in the approval queue is linking its downloads to Codeplex.
Is there a general consensus on whether it's ok to have the downloads somewhere else?

There's an option to flag the article as "Needs Help -> Images/downloads are offsite". However, I personally don't see a problem with using well-known sites like CodePlex or GitHub to host the code.

I feel we are in agreement here.

There is a preference to put code in CP, however articles sometimes are about code already written and public on some repository so it is acceptable to put link to external site...

That should of course count as a valid reason.

How exactly is it abuse when the poster tries to get answers from more than one site.
Please try to explain.

You mentioned nothing about that in your OP and neither did you add a reference to which site you are referring to.
That is not much to go on.
Cheers!

I have to agree with Manfred here - I can't see the abuse particularly.
If there was a pattern of answering which would indicate sockpuppetry or other rep boosting going on, maybe. But at the moment a quick look says these are just basic questions. Without sources for each one (and some idea what advantage he gains from copied stupid questions) I can't see a good reason to vote him off the site.

This[^] member for almost 8 years, after writing articles and answering questions in QA with apparently legitimate answers suddenly starts posting blatant spam, here[^]. Seems kind of odd to me.

I've seen it before: member's accounts get hacked, or someone guess their password, or maybe someone doesn't sign out when using a public computer.

I don't think that's the case this time around.

I stand corrected.
As does the OP.
