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?

Take a look at Solution #8 to the old question How to save and retrieve Bold and Italic words in sqlserver[^] by user Member 10843633[^].
What's that? Did that guy test if he could inject URLs into links which still look like internal links?
Well, he could add links to his site anyway... Did he try to find out how to hide an external link?
Or is that just an accident?
I do not know. What do you think?

I think it's just a mistake: the link goes to the question, and the text is easy to accidentally delete.

I'd leave off from any action just yet, and keep an eye on what he does next.

Presumably that's any action other than reporting it as "not an answer"? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

The fact that one person has given the "answer" a vote of 5 looks slightly odd.

I don't think it's abuse. I often see people post questions in the solution field or even the OP posting additional information in the Solution field. Perhaps solution is not clear enough of an English word for some people.

Just mark it as not an answer and move on.

I have been told that adding comment to add more detail would suffice, but he has ignored all the comments. He is still posting google results[The concern to raise this is,totally irrelevant solutions].

e.g. How to use BO in Asp.net ?[^]. This time he is posting google link also.

- How to open cash drawer using pos.net.[^] this is clear case of rep hunting as he didn't even care that the link which he is going to post contains answer or not.

- What is Elastic Search in Asp.net?[^] Now search using keywords "elastic search asp.net". The result will be this[^]. The first and third link is what he has posted as solution.

- IS there any free dll which helps to convert from Kannada language to English using c#[^]. Totally irrelevant one.

- How to insert records from database to a label?[^] The issue was something different but our genius always copies the questions text so he posted this one.

And there are too many still exist. You can go through his answer list.

I only read through the BO in ASP.Net one but again, I don't see a problem with it. The solution points to 2 codeproject articles and then a google link.

The question was very vague so vague answers are sometimes the best that can be given.

I think he just found something "usefull" and he searched for diferent related questions. 3 or 4 of the answers were about TeamViewer and other two were similar to each other as well.

Don't think I am defending him, many answers did not apport anything new or even usefull, and some were just not solutions at all, barely comments.

Agree with you. There is nothing wrong with answering old questions. Accusation in "point harvesting" can lead us way too far. The arguments for reporting on a member account should be based on something bad in the posts themselves; it does not matter why they were posted, the motivation should not be a matter of discussion. As as some question remains accessible to some member and makes sense, answering it should be considered legitimate. Truth does not rust with time.

And if someone thinks that answering some questions is inappropriate (which can be the case, in particular, when a question is off-topic), that member should take measures to remove the question. If a question is legitimate and makes sense, answering it should be considered legitimate.

I guess that the point that raised the report was that some of those answers, were not solutions at all.

I personally reported at least 8 solutions as "not an answer", "offtopic" or "unclear / incomplete", but other answers were legitime and didn't take any action.

The suspicious fact was a block of 15+ answers within 1 hour for old questions (some were 2010 and even 2009), with doubtfull quality.

And this guy might have a group of legitime answers, many others just post some crap probably because they don't know that a new answer brings that thread to the light at the top of the list. In that cases, I agree with reporting it.

As always... it is up to us and our common sense
