Re: Is this spam? - CodeProject

Weird...

Going to the "article" it says "This is an old version of the currently published tip/trick". I have clicked in the "currently published" to see if it went through and I have landed in the same article, but with Marco Bertschi as Autor.

Don't know what is happening.

Ah Ha! So Marco was the culprit all along...Hang on, why are we all together in the library Inspector? Unsure | :~

Lemme clear this up: I force-closed the item because stuff like that jams the approval queue. It seems like I'm now the owner of the BS...

Even weirder: if you go and look at the detailed version history you can see that ProgramFOX has closed the item before me, and that got the system into trouble.

I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Dunno,

just wanted to point it out before it comes to dummy situations. Maybe is a good idea to inform the hamsters about it?

Besides being way too short even for a tip, is that to be considered spam?

[Edit] I agree with the other opinions, that's why I removed the links [/edit]

I'm not sure that it is, as it is an Open Source project. It actually looks kind of neat, and seems rather stable (I tried out the demonstration he linked to).

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Thank you for your opinion. I was not sure, I'll edit the message to delete the links

It's not spam, I think the OP has just missed the concept of CP Articles.

While snooping around, I found this little gem[^] in the forum posted by this person[^]

In case the message disappears, it's spam directing a questioner to go to another website to get answers, always support dot com.

Nice catch!

Server delay? or missmatch in reports type?

I am not sure. Maybe Chris has it set to > 10 reports instead of >= 10....

It could be, but I have given the 11th in some ocasions as well and user was still alive after it. That's why I asked the other 2 options.
