I tried manually building the URL to report the user
www.codeproject.com/script/Content/Report.aspx?obtid=1&obid=11401803&obstid=0&ovid=0&rid=20[^]
I did it taking the report link from one user and substituting the obid (the id of the member) with te one of this spammer.
With a little difficulty I saw that now the link "Report as... spammer" is viewed as "visited" by my browser, so it should work.

Report for what reason? Because they messed with CSS? That's a feature of CP.
Currently it shows no messages so perhaps there were SPAM messages?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It seems that most hit the wrong report field. Account is closed for spamming rather than for abusive / troll.

Have you compared them? It is true that the images at the beggining are very similar, but I have checked random pieces of text and found not many copied parts.

It is not a one-to-one copy, but the paragraph starting with 'Thus, the principle of dependency inversion' is an exact copy from the other article ('Conclusion' in the pdf)...I'm sure if I go into serious research I will find the other sources too...

I am not sure, but wether your link is not right or there is a linking problem in the site.
Your "this" points to a draft version, when I try "work on it" to see the content, it goes to the contribution "Simple way to learn HTML5 & CSS3" which has not so much in common with the link of "html-forms"
[Edit] Note 01: I am not defending him, it is just that I was in the opinion he had learned from the last wave. He and Tadit were blaming his own co-workers. I was expecting him to avoid that.
Note 02: I have had a tiny OP with local anesthesy a pair of hours ago in the head. It might be that I am a bit dispersed.

Looks like he has deleted it when he spotted the "plagiarism" votes coming in.
Certainly the version I was moderating had large chunks copy'n'pasted from the HTML-forms page. Either that or a coincidence so extreme that he should definitely get a lottery ticket...

Seeing your answer and Kornfelds above...
That paragraph is a literal copy, but there is a lot of other stuff, that I didn't found anywhere (I didn't search literals in google though)
should we show him the door? Or a 2nd chance warning?

He knows our feelings on plagiarism - we know that from the last wave - and still feels happy to copy'n'paste assuming he won't get caught. I have to suspect that he has copied other stuff (and not just in this article)
Peter's comment that his "best article sept 2014" looks plagiarised does look justifiable to me. It has the same structure, with changes made to protect the guilty.
Personally? I think he is a serial plagiarist who is normally more careful to make sure we can't spot his thefts.

My concern now is what will happen to the 1st prize...Can the hamsters take it back and hand over the true winner?
