These articles have been already published by other websites. Now, they are republishing here again. Is that all right? I cannot step aside.

Starrydb new memory database - CodeProject[^]

Reaons why I am unsure,

1. It is a article / code dump about a memory database that he has appears to have created
2. there is a link in there to his own blog as a title in the article.
3. there is little discussion about the database product.

should it be marked as spam? or needs more work?

Thanks
Simon

The article DICOM Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State module editor[^] is using a 3rd party DLL which is provided in the download package. But the author is working for the company providing the DLL and the DLL sources are not available.

I don't want to report it even while the article contains a link to the company. The user is rather inactive but member since nine years.

Maybe @sean-ewington can speak to her first.

Do you think it has anything to do with the subjects generally discussed on CodeProject?

I suppose that "Abusive/Troll" and "Spammer" are misused by me.

If "Mayfly" were available I'd be less likely to type stuff on that line. Perhaps be more introspective.

Is this marketing/advert?

Tips/Tricks

Chris and I have been talking about Tips and Tricks posts. Over the years there have been number of issues with the classifications of tips:

The line where you draw the distinction between an article and a tip is somewhat nebulous
New authors coming in to share content being held at the door and lectured on the difference between an article and a tip before they're let in
The time moderators spend on educating new authors on this distinction
The sad feeling new authors get in their hearts when they think they've written an article and are told "no you haven't"

I think over the years this idea that a tip is, "anything that is unworthy of being an article," or, "a tip is anything that is too short to be an article" has developed, but that's not what we had in mind.

So we're going to clarify what a tip is: A Tips and Tricks post is a single problem, with a single solution, and a super-short write-up. Ideally you could consume it in under 30 seconds. Here is an example of a tip:

Kendo UI NumericTextBox Enable/Disable Issue[^]

I realize this goes against the understanding of many (and I believe everyone has a slightly different line). I also realize that the majority of existing tips are actually articles under this clarification. We'll be doing a reclassification at some point of all existing tips to help make the distinction between what WAS a tip and what IS NOW a tip a little easier to follow moving forward.

I will be in the trenches of the articles needing approval queue to help transition this new definition to new content as smoothly as possible and I'm happy to help answer the case-by-case post question we get as we forge this new distinctive line together. Thank you.

I would make this message sticky for a while. So it doesn't get relegated to other pages.

Hmmm ... that's a good idea and I should have done it, but to do it now I have to delete this thread, repost it, then go around to where it's been shared and edit all those posts. Maybe unsticky will be OK.

If it becomes problematic I will delete the thread and repost it, but I've updated the FAQ and we're updating the submit page so at least the clarification is something we can get at pretty easily:

Lily Alvin - Professional Profile - CodeProject[^]

No obvious spam posted yet, although I can't see the message that's in the moderation queue. But of the two messages posted, one is a reply to a message from September 2014.

The profile itself looks very suspicious to me.

Worth keeping an eye on, or am I just being paranoid? Unsure | :~

EDIT: Looks like we're going with "site-driving spam" on this one: Site driving Spammer - CodeProject[^]

Any thoughts on this?

Cool Access Control System - CodeProject[^]:

I place Donate button in the site and project. If you like Cool Access Control. I hope you can donate us. Your donation will encourage us to continue development and keep the testing site serve. Thanks. After donation, send email to me and I will help you to remove the button.

It makes the code sound like shareware to me, which would be against the terms of service.
