Please pay attention for this member profile:
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Libish-Jacob[^].

I found one cheating answer and then checked up 5-6 more — all the same picture. He is posting something looking like technical questions and answers those questions by himself. Such answers do not have more values then the answers: they all contain reference to the same site. This is just promotion of some site. None of such posts have any values: they are just name some programming topic which he could take from anywhere, there is nothing original. This guy even bravely accepts his own answers formally (it would be good to disable self-accepting by technical means, by the way — many people do that).

I would suggest to disable his account and even remove all his posts of that sort -- this is actually pure spam. Even though the articles actually match the topics of the questions, so there is a real potentially valuable material behind it, the CodeProject question/answer posts referencing has no value except promotion. There is no sense to promote an external site at the expense of CodeProject with no value added. If it was done to answer real questions of other members, it would be fine.

Thank you,
