this chap[^]
has been posting blank solutions in Quick Answers and thank-you comments as solutions to his own questions.
I've passed a comment back to him but then realised I could actually delete the dodgy solutions - what's the etiquette on this sort of tidying up? Do I delete or report?
|

It depends. If it is annoying spaming messages as Livestreamers, then report here but directly delete.
If just playing a bit but not contaminating the list of questions, then report can be enough. So the others can see the posts, when helping to nuke.
EDIT:
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. I am advising him in each question to correct the missbehaviour. If he corrects it and doesn't continue like that, I don't see the need of nuking the account.
At the moment, we can report the false answers, so he sees "reputation hunt" is not working and decide to do it correctly.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I agree with the benefit of the doubt ... he just needs to get more familiar with the layout

If after the rain of comments I left him doesn't get it...

It depends, but most of the time it's people not working out what to press and where to type. I generally move them to the right place, let the OP know what I've done and explain that if they use the right mechanism it means emails get fired off automatically, speeding up responses. Then I delete the "problem" post to tidy things up.
There are quite a few ways to respond to people and if you are just looking for somewhere to type "thanks" it is too easy to pick the Solution textbox.

That's where I was heading - just checking to make sure I wasn't being a bit heavy handed!
Certainly didn't want to get his account nuked and didn't want my own wrist slapped either

Not seen this forum before. Nice - does it work outside CodeProject? ie. Is it possible to make the more annoying people in the room with me 'gone'?
What a sweet thought.

Anything is possible - if you contact the right hamster and have sufficient sunflower seeds to pay his price.

I change it from time to time when I get bored. This was a quote from yesterday, IIRC

Nope, but it just not appear in the popup menu of "discussions", you have to search it in the full list or in the left forums-menu

Then it is a bit obsolete yet. When do we get the new Version? or did you give vacation to the hamsters?

Nice. When you've figured out how to do it, I think there might be a market for it as an iPhone App.
