No. I was about to do so,but i didn't receive any response with that post. Let's try it out. I suspect author is unaware about how we consider/handle spam.

Theres also a problem that Report flag is not available at any of the messages.

The code is very problematic - it uses a specific (payed) service to deal with SMS, and the solution next to nothing without it! To me it seems problematic, the question is how innocent the author is...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I'm guessing that the outcome of the previous report was a "spam" and the article closed then.
I tend to agree - without the pay-for service it's pretty much useless, so spam is probably the best description. Did anyone post a "warning shot" with the previous version?

Plagiarised would be article.

I can't see any warning on any of the revisions... (it was in-out since July)

Hi OriginalGriff,

Both the profiles are same. So, from where it is taken?

Out of interest, does your company pay people extra if they get any old rubbish published here? Or is the rash of plagiarised or total drivel "articles" from members labelled "mindfire" purely spontaneous?

Because it gives me the impression that 99% of your employees are total idiots, and I wouldn't want to use the company as a result!

Actually, they are not aware of the Guidelines of posting contents in Code Project and they have mentioned company name on their profiles.

Ideally they should have spent time on reading and understanding the Guidelines and following that up.

Actually company is very supportive with community activities. It is the people who are doing wrong, which leads to a negative reputation. After the moderations of those deleted articles, they are now learning things. I am also helping them.

Hope to see a better picture in future. Smile | :)
