Thanks for the report, but it's a good idea to post a link to the member http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11077807[^] as well as his crime. That way if the message disappears first, the member can still be identified and smacked with the ban hammer! Laugh | :laugh:

Question : How Do I Resolve This Scenario[^]

Member : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=9532290[^]

This guy is posting such question since last 3 to 4 days. The same question is posted almost 4 times. After no of warnings he is not ready to listen.

IMO, we should report this member.

It's pretty content free, and while it has no link it smells spammy. The member joined yesterday, and this is his first post.

Your thoughts, anyone?

It smells a little rancid to me. Though he is asking how it's done, the highlight to draw attention to the appname is suspicious.

I see it suspicious as well, and the image in the profile... it seems a bit too "nice" all together.

His main username is fine - it's twitter style @name thingie that is at issue.
So far all he has contributed is the word "miaow" to a surver forum.

It has been reported twice. But as i can see if any content is closed and reposted than its not getting closed even after 10 reports.
