His two questions has been spammed into history, hist account needs a further single vote.

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

Done, but this person persistently re-created an account under the same name. By my count, it was re-created for 4th time already.

I don't know, perhaps it only makes it more manageable. Smile | :)

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?

This member: http://www.codeproject.com/Members/bala1989[^].

At the moment, there are 27 "answers"; and I recently removed one; I probably removed some more in the past. I decided to check up all remaining "answers", and found only 3 real attempts to help someone; all other answers were the "answers" to own OP's questions. Not real answers, I would say. What is outrageous, they are all self-accepted formally.

To me, it looks like abuse. Generally, the questions and answers are pretty poor. I don't know, maybe this is a way to boost "reputation" — I cannot understand such behavior.

This post here http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=4429229#xx4429229xx[^] was sent to the wrong forum. Removing it ASAP would take a lot of pain away from the original poster (even if there are already 5 votes for 1).

This pretty naive person http://www.codeproject.com/Members/for-codeproject-com-Members-shakalaka[^] hopes that we can help to crack passwords by writing some C code:

Well, pretty harmless right now, but still a kind of abuse.

He already tried to post an article last week containing the comic images which I (and apparently others) reported as plagiarized because there was no reference to the company and the copyright.

When reading this post the first time I remembered the article and looked up his member ship and other posts like you. While the press releases are OK, this one smells a little bit but I did not reported. I may change my mind if he posts more like this one.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov15-Nov-12 3:17

15-Nov-12 3:17

You know, I agree, but…

It's impossible to have a humor police enforcing quality of referenced material, and formally this is just fun stuff; the topic of the forum does not specifically ban comics references, I think. (Maybe prohibiting such things just by the rules would be a good idea, hard to say…)

But I voted to remove the post — this is humor for morons, tasteless, brainless, not funny, drawing quality/"style" is abominate. I feel pretty bad about having to use the term "humor" in this context.

And real-life storied are million times more funny.

Thank you,

I would agree, if this had been posted in the lounge as a joke cartoon, then it would have passed without problem. In that forum though, it is out of place, and probably only there to get either traffic or links to their website.

As you say, it is pretty poor humor! Laugh | :laugh:

I agree and voted to remove the post. I only discussed about having some written rules on the forum, and what can we do about it. Maybe we should do what you did: post our observations on the Abuse Watch forum and encourage members to vote to remove such out of place stuff.

Thank you,
