Please pay attention for this member profile:

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,

Spamming after 4 yrs and 1 month with the site? 
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Whatever. I only looked at the few last posts, which looked bad enough to me. You can see the content by your own. Do you agree this is a kind of spam?

I do agree, and have reported it as such. I just found how long he had been with the site before he started spamming kind of strange.

I have to agree - the posting times alone say that he is posting the question and then the answer immediately, in order to accept the answer and boost his reputation artificially. This gaming of the system has occurred before (but not so blatantly) and the previous poster account was deleted. It should happen again to discourage this kind of practice.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert.
