Probably the latter (does that make sense in German?).

"Probably the latter"
I know that some English expressions do not translate well.

I understood what you wanted to say, but tbe honest I thought you had had a typo (later instead of latter)

He has another on a very similar subject - I think we can assume that is copy'n'paste as well: Releasing a high-performance networking lib in Golang[^]

Indeed, it seems the exact same job of copy'n'paste.
Seeing his first article approved must have comforted him in the feeling that it's ok to do so.

Copied the OP's first reply and tried to add a hidden link. Didn't realise that the text was pasted in <pre></pre> tags, rendering the hidden link perfectly visible.

He's a "early stage" help vampire, but not a spammer: he's trying to do exercises on that site and failing miserably because he has no idea how to code yet.
If he'd learn how to use a debugger it'd be a start ... but it's not spam.

The Cost of Waiting for Feedback in Software Development[^]
By Piet Hadermann
Holds a minified link at the end to sign up for something. I have warned the author in a comment when the article was still in moderation, but it got through and now the comment is gone.
I did not report the author, nor the article; I think it would be ok just to ask the author to remove the spammy minified link.

I also posted him a message about both the links (minified == spam, normally) and the copyright on the images. Yes, he links to the image source for the first one, but that page is copyright and contains no licence to use them.
I'll post another message, and let him have some time to respond - then kill it if he doesn't.

Looks like it's another blog posted as an article. The bit.ly link seems to go to the signup form for his MailChimp list.

Indeed. And if there are any doubts, why not contact me and ask me before approving the article/post? It's because of the comment on the post that I want looking for this forum, I had no idea this forum existed until 10 minutes ago.
I've used a bit.ly link to my Mailchimp signup page before, I had no idea this was regarded as spam.
In the meantime that link was apparently removed, a link to an excerpt from a book was altered to point to a nonexisting file on CP. The other links go to my blog, which has been online for ages.
I can show an Invoice for the images, and communication with the illustrator, but since this contains my personal address etc I'd rather not upload it in a public place.

You can ask for help in Article Writing Discussion Boards[^]. CP Editors look there pretty often and might dig to see what happen / repair the links

Well, I also never saw your comment I'm afraid.
I have no spammy intentions, but I can indeed appreciate a couple of new signups for my mailinglist and I've gotten valuable, interesting long-lasting contacts this way. I checked the submission guidelines and I didn't get the impression I had done something wrong.

I can acknowledge the value which your mailing list contacts may represent to you.
But, on your side, you should also acknowledge that we have to fight against spammers on a daily basis, and that a minified link in an article does not help up in this task, at all.
I did not report your account, though, because I had the impression that indeed your intention was not spamming (plus, you are not a new user, you already have published other articles, and even won some prizes a couple of times); but, please, avoid minified links in your publications 
Kindly.
