The member who was posting his product as answers (reported here: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5010065/Not-sure-about-this-one.aspx[^])
Has posted an article about it: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=161018&aid=880705[^]
Which is little enough, but it's only there to push his cr@p anyway...

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?

Plagiarized or not giving the due to reference material?

Atlas Copco PowerFocus (3000/4000) / NutRunner Tools Ethernet Communication Using C#[^] article by member [^] has used the image and the same text from the "specification manual"

2. How to use Open protocal section is a carefully copied content from the manual. IMHO the OP atleast need to make the reference to the manual.
You can find the manual attached to the post in this link Here[^]

Similarly 1. Atlas Copco PowerFocus (3000/4000) Nutrunner Tools section has taken the text ( 3-4 lines) from the user guide (section 3) without no reference.

Yes - you can also hit the red flag on the article and mark it "plagiarised", and the user as "abusive or troll" if you want to. (We do, when we see a "plagiarism" report here)

I did not notice Red flag. May be I do not have the authority to see it. Also I did not want to Nuke him because I looked into his profile and it seems he is a MVP and wrote numerous articles. I just wanted to give him benefit of doubt.

The "Red Flag" isn't a "Nuke" - even Protectors don't have that, just Staff - it just flags the account, and if he gets 10 flags, his account goes. Even then, if he asks nicely and promises to behave in future he can get the account back (without the plagiarised material of course).

Don't worry about the MVP or similar: we've had MVP plagiarists before, and even competition winning articles that were later found to be plagiarised. We don't like it, no matter who does it!

Isn't that MVP landing here quite often in the last time? I would bet to have seen at least 5 or 6 reports poiting to some of his contributions in recent past.

Member is pushing their own "product" in many but not all QA answers[^]. Product is free (I believe) or at least has a community edition.

Because they have resurrected old questions to post links to their product, my view is that it is spam/abuse ... over to you guys to form your own opinion

I've removed the spammy stuff - links to a "community edition" which is very restricted compared to the paid version - and his username is a dead give away as to why he is here: SelectPdf[^] - the same as the product he is pushing.

Final spam deleted, final spammers await decapitation.

End of an era? Maybe - but my left hand will thank you, it won't get so much RSI reporting and deleting the drivel! Laugh | :laugh:

Well done! Impressive searching! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Thanks, but I don't think it's over yet. The gap between the former 919 to the current 1052 was filled in less than an hour of seraches, I have the distinct feel that the next 2 hours of boredom will spawn another hunt. Wink | ;)
