Two and a half years ago, this user[^] was kicked off the site for asking about writing a virus. After promising not to ask again[^], Chris reinstated his account.
Today, he posted this question[^]:

most of time i set some config on windows 7 for our customers like below :
- turn off windows firewall
- turn off all message in action center
- turn off windows update
- add special language
- set some settings in region and language
and ...
how i can create application that do this works with only one click .
1- work with registry ?
2- work with command prompt
3- or another way ?
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but writing software which turns off Windows Updates, Windows Firewall, and all Action Centre messages with one click sounds suspiciously like malware to me.

Hi,
An article that was highlighted in the code project newsletter two months ago, and which has become quite popular has suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke without a trace as far as I can see.
Any take on this? I know that one should not depend on anything being forever but this is ridiculous 
ASP.NET MVC.Template introduction[^]
should probably be in another forum. sorry.

If it was deleted for a reason, you should have received a notification. Supposing that was the case and quickly looking at the article I'm not sure what that reason could have been ...
Article restored.

Thanks, yes, no notifications or messages ... just gone. Thanks for restoring. We'll see what happens next

The below one is published as an article. Though I had mentioned the in comments for improvements, this one is explicitly published.
ASP.NET MVC5 authentication using custom UserStore.[^]
What is the point of having a low quality article ? instead it could have been a tip as I had mentioned earlier.
Thanks,

The one JSOP mentioned in the Lounge[^]
He's voting without comment. Then when people challenge him he's often saying, "Hey it's just my opinion & I don't have to justify it". Sometimes he does justify it, sometimes he doesn't. He's occasionally upvoted as well, so I'm not just reporting everything. My guess is he is somebody's sockpuppet with a beef against the voting system and trying to show it as ridiculous. He seems to know that there is a purpose to having a message - he even says "Anything 3 and under needs a comment" in one post, yet he tries to circumvent it.
[Edit]
I'm going troll & have stopped feeding. He's pretty witless TBH.

Member had been kicked enough. I personally see such act as 'demotivating the Author'.

This user[^] started out OK, but since 26th February 2013, every single message[^] he has posted has contained (broken) links to his web design company and his blog.
His article[^] also contains the same (broken) links.
Is this site-driving spam, or an acceptable use of his signature?

Well, nice catch. Such signatures are acceptable if its his 'own work' (Now,its a whole new topic how to define 'own' here). We spotted a large list of users with such signatures in past.

so if the dll-loader throws some better diagnosis and recover should happen.
Fine idea.

I would say no. Theres no advertisement. Its just poorly phrased/Offtopic question. You took the correct action IMO.

This rare research papers presented a step by step tutorial of injecting malicious spyware program into any executable by using IDA Pro and OllyDbg.
Should this type of article be allowed?

IMHO - NO! I think no code that intentionally made to harm should be allowed...

This article[^] and the sequel[^] are tagged as C++, Windows where they should be tagged at least "PHP". Also the article is composed of a brief explanation of the scalability issue followed, in the second part, by the proposal of third party software and the general tone of the article resembles advertising rather than a technical article.
I'm writing here instead of reporting or downvoting because I'm quite new in the community and I don't know how this kind of situations are normally treated.

There are tons of blog here which seem more like site driving or advertising. But, they are not posted ones, they are automatically getting polled by CP.
Further, there are too many arguments open on to which level,this should be tolerated. I would suggest you to wait for some time.

Are you reporting them? We can very easily remove a blog feed when we are made aware that it's spam.

As far as I can see it's not published. Lately I've noticed that blog entries seem to have the "already published" link. But if you click that, it'll take you to a pending version.

I've reformatted.
