There is a reasonable length FAQ: Code Project Article FAQ[^] - it doesn't mention spam (probably because spammers won't bother reading anything particularly) but anything which is "heavy" on links to a company that isn't relevant to the topic is probably going to get a "spam" notice slapped on it! Laugh | :laugh:

You'd be surprised how many items we get which are as short as yours and contain as many links as yours did which are there purely to advertise, drive traffic, or "link-up" search engines. You've taken out the links, and as a tip it now looks reasonable so it shouldn't be a problem any more - and if you read my initial report it did say "I think he is genuine, and if he removes / changes the tip I can;t see a good reason to kick him off.". But just in case, it gets reported here so if you are just interested in free adverts it won't stay "live" for long! Wink | ;)
