Here's a link to the QA Frequently asked questions - Code Project Quick Answers FAQ[^]
Spam can be
- advertising a product in an inappropriate way
- "site - driving" - posting answers that consist of a link to your own blog or website
These can often be found getting posted as answers to posts that were already answered years ago.
Abuse of the site can include "trolling" - posting silly or non-answers or being rude to members. This can include mass downvoting of a specific members posts because they have upset you - ordinary members can't tell who is doing this but the site admin can
Abuse can also include plagiarism - this is posting information (e.g. an article or an answer) that is someone else's work.
There is also more information on the Terms Of Service[^]
Edit - also here … Tips and Tricks for CodeProject.com[^]

Ashutosh Gpta - Professional Profile
has been already here due to plagiarism. He has created a new account and now is asking "how to do the layout of my web like in [Link]"
The question got nuked in moderation while I wrote this message, so I can't copy the content.
I think he is getting very close to the limits again...
What do you think?

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

He didn't ask the question, he's replying to it with a link to a paid for product with a free trial - I nuked the first two attempts in moderation together, then let the third through and replied giving him a polite warning before deleting the solution.
If it comes back - he's branching out into spam.

He was begging for reinstauration of the previous account... and now this 
And then they wonder because the 2nd chances are so limited... 
But I would say it was a question, his Q-Counter was 5 and after nuke was 4

I'm guessing it's a "resume thing" - he wants something, anything to stick on it to make it look more impressive.

Not me then - I killed three answers with the same link but saw no questions.

There is also his 'roommate' account ; I wrote a message in moderators forum about it. Apparently he
mixed up both accounts at some point, a reply to one of his solutions clearly shows that the account has been renamed to hide the sock-puppetry.
"Five fruits and vegetables a day? What a joke!
Personally, after the third watermelon, I'm full."

I'm keeping an eye on that one as well - I'm just waiting for him to try the "sock puppet upvotes" abuse. It'll come, I'm pretty sure - he thinks he's clever, and that's not a good sign for him.

nothing to do Mr OriginalGriff, we both keep eye on each other and like and share each other reply. if that is also come under spam then we have to ignore that too.

Guys, i am just 2 months old in code project and you guys are aware abt my previous account too,
today when i replied with to one of OP question with third party link, i noticed that it went to moderation state and it become par of discussion here, can some one help me what to be followed and what no to be while replying to OP. i was under impression that we have to help OP even by some links are useful, in this case it was one third party product.
i saw another reply on same question that someone pasted link of nuget packages but no one questioned on it. it not purposefully but not being aware of it. lets discuss.

I am planning to start a online business of my own and I am very much confused about how to choose a domain for registering my business online. Can I please know how to choose a domain for registering my online business?
What I have tried:
Registration of my online business.
I have let it through, because it was nothing wrong, but I presume a set-up where the payload will come later.

I saw it, and I think it's probably genuine - but yeah, let's keep an eye on it.
