10th kick applied, but the user still lives.

You should probably remove the URL from the text of the question link.

As far as I can see, recent articles by this[^] member are dangerously close to plagiarism.

Few examples:
- An introduction to Power BI forOffice 365[^]
compared to "Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Technical Overview"

- SQL Server 2014 engine enhancements[^] vs "Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2014",
See: http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/F/2/DF25A191-1FA4-4BC2-925C-492D616CF7FA/Microsoft_Press_ebook_Introducing_Microsoft_SQL_Server_2014_PDF.pdf[^]

- Exploring HTML5 for beginners[^] from several sources like http://www.tutorialspoint.com/html5/html5_web_sql.htm[^]
and so on...

I already dropped a message on one article.

This[^] member was reported here[^] just yesterday...
Today I saw that he is a constant abuser of his platinum rights...
He updated this[^] tip at least 2 times (didn't checked back for more) with nothing but replace one image with other (and it's obvious that that the changes are meaningless for the tip).
All he gained is permanent place on CP's home page and daily news...
IMHO, it's unacceptable (and mostly because it's seems to be constant behavior, see his ignorant comment...)!

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Actually there are 21 Updates, I have not check everyone but the last significant content change I found was in update 7. Version 8, 9, 15 and 18 are only to switch the last image i.e. "whatsnew5" to "whatsnew10" and current public is "whatsnew12"
