This probably has nothing to do with the site and its content at all, I guess.
It probably isn't even about the users of it.
The only reason I see is Blackhat SEO(bump up a search term as quickly and cheap as possible to gain maximum revenue in the shortest possible amount possible where you don't care if the site gets banned from search engines after a few days).
And as a probably well reputated site with quality content I'd assume search engines are indexing codeproject quite often...

When did you look at Q&A last?
Sorry, rhetorical question, I just wanted to point out that there might actually be a sound thinking behind the spamming.

The people who write the questions don't look at other questions or answers, this is well known. In fact they don't look at their own code, google, or even the stars...

Then again, do you believe spammers are "rational, thinking beings"?

Given the intelligence level of some of the questions that appear here these days, it seems perfectly logical.

My little site that doesn't get much traffic has been hit by spammers lately also. Wonder what the hell the deal is? As if there weren't already enough advertising around the web?

I've just got back from the shops, where I saw some marmalade with your name on. So I thought I have to buy it and send the jar over to you.
Unfortunately now that I got it home, I realised it said Thick Cut

It only just o curd to me that this was a pun run.

I was waiting for a chance to jam it into a thread.
Actually, I made some Seville Marmalade yesterday. Or I thought I had. It reached setting temp and looked good to go, potted it and the frogging stuff is still as runny as a 60 second egg.

Nagy, Chris asked about a year ago, if we would stop editing spam - just report it (and post the links in the Spam and Abuse Watch forum[^])
The reasoning is simple: He tries automated systems from time to time, and if you edit the spam, and it then gets reported, the text they look at contains nothing spammy, and they get confused.
In addition, editing it resets the spam counter, so it takes longer to automatically remove.
(there is also the risk that you could get the spammer votes on your account if people aren't careful)
Just report it, post links to the member and spam in S&A and someone with appropriate permissions will delete it!
