Incidentally, both your recent reported question were deleted by me. And I found that out when I came here to report them. Smile | :)

I'm not sure you should delete them - just flag them as spam and report them here - that way others can see and decide if they deserve a spammer report on the poster. Which helps to get rid of them all the quicker.
If the text of the offending messages is deleted, then we have to assume that whoever did it is truthful. While I'm sure you wouldn't try any such shenanigans, there are a few people I wouldn't trust... Laugh | :laugh:

I was going to ask this very question - if we should delete these spams or not? I always thought why should be bother the admins here if we can help them just by a click. But your post has a point and I won't be deleting them from now. Thanks!

Definitely don't trust them! I am a case in point, I occasionally edit Wiki, and I can't be trusted at all. Big Grin | :-D

Why do you think that is spam? It looks like a reasonable article to me - not something I would be interested in, but not spam-like.

The link I posted was to the comment posted on my article (notice this link ends with "?msg=4215062#xx4215062xx"), but since this spam comment was removed (thank you, whoever did that!), so link now opens the whole article)) Of course I wouldn't report my own article Laugh | :laugh:

When that day will come, most people would be saints probably.
I should have mentioned it was a message, not an article.

It just was so not nice to offer me some "designer" handbags. I always wondered how this stuff gets to CodeProject, I doubt many people on CodeProject would want "designer handbags". May be competitors are trying to spam the site...? Confused | :confused:

Marketing Factories I suspect: people paid nearly nothing to post adverts for anything anywhere they can for twelve hours a day.

Think yourself lucky it was handbags - there are much, much worse things to be offered (particularly with pictures Dead | X|

)
