What is AAD and why does it need seduction? 
Seriously, I can't see the article [allegedly too low a rep] so I won't vote.
Seen who has voted, so I've joined you. ![Sheep | [baah]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sheep.gif)

I'm not too sure myself, and I skimmed the article.
As an example of the OP's grasp of English as she is wrote, the title is "Aads Education, a Photocopier of Best Training Institute of Java in Hyderabad"
Which strains my brain a little to work out what the heck he actually meant to say in the first place!

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.

It appears that this[^] member is using sock-puppet accounts or friends to promote his articles and commercial products. This is definitely one that falls in a grey area. The issue is that the two accounts below are answering questions with links to this guy's commercial products and CP articles. The reason I mention the article links is that the language and syntax of the answers appear that they are the same person and likely the same person as this original main account. This original account is also spamming as there are links to his commercial products in the articles, but the articles are not in the 3rd party sections.
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=8921107[^] is promoting a commercial product in all his answers.
Just found another one promoting the same commercial products: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=9237861[^]
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I think you are on to something here, but I think it is even worse. I believe Lacy00[^] is another sock puppet with a published tip[^]. This tip is in the 3rd Party Products section, so should be fine on its own.
I became aware of this profile when I saw this message[^], which is a reply to the other sock puppet's (pandaloveu) message and looks very much like Solution 1[^] by Miracle524.
This whole thing looks quite elaborate with very active sock puppets posting several messages, Questions and Answers.

Wow. This one is just organized crime. Very organized crime.

There seem to be a number of these - I've reported a few. Seems the best we can do is "Abuse/Troll" the message and the poster and hope they get the message...

Good or not, this forum works better. In particular, this account is already disabled.
Thank you,

I agree - I wasn't suggesting otherwise. That is why I report them here as well.

Yes, to me, it seems to be similar enough to ban at least one of the authors, but who plagiarized what? Or both of them? Would be good to know.
I think plagiarism is the worst offense.

The later author actually references the original as his inspiration. I believe the more recent author Frankensteined the original article for his purposes, but without proper care. I will suspend Frank and see if the author is willing to revisit his creation.
Thanks,

Well, I wonder: did someone banned the account just because someone called himself "Niger"?
That it something I would not be sure about. This word is acceptable depending on the language, not just culture and does not have to be ideological. No one protests the name "Nigeria" and many similar things which merely conduct a notion of the color. Everyone understands the conventionality of the notion: a human skin cannot really be "white" or "black"; and I think all reasonable people agree that it cannot characterize a human's personality in any way.
And all kinds of self-identification belong to some shaky ground… So, what could be the reason for removing of the account?

That's why I said I wasn't sure, I just pointed it out and let admins make a decision... it's hard to tell in an international site what people mean when they use certain words. In any case, the account was fairly new (only had one post), so it wouldn't really hurt the user to chose a different name and open another account.

No, I believe you personally did not hurt this member. I'm just questioning the act of banning this account. I understand you did not do it.
