Helpfully even copied the typo in the comment, in case the plagiarism wasn't obvious enough. D'Oh! | :doh:

Nine messages. The first three, and the last one, seem clear. The other five (from 22nd to 28th May 2011) are nothing more than links to his blog.

Far too many messages and answers which are just links to "jinaldesi.net". Seems to start around May 2012.

I think we need the hammer of a big cahoona...

@Sean-Ewington would you make the honor, please?

EDIT:
Visual Studio Coding Themes[^] is accused of plagiarism in its message board and full of links pointing to other places (not his of course)

Special Character # in URL Query String[^] copy paste error leaving the links to the original source in "H2" and "H3"

Tip: I found this in MSDN Link. And it solved my problem.... Visual Studio 2008 / 2010 - unable to start program element not found[^]

I really think that Simple Encryption in C#[^] is a clear copy+paste job too... but I didn't find any source on a quick check
And same on parseInt in Javascript [^] the <the> after the bold sentence stink to copy paste

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Everything back to July 2016, and a couple of random earlier ones. I'm assuming the spam started in August 2016, but it's possible there might be examples in some of the earlier messages. Smile | :)

This article - Checkin with reviewers in mind: how to speed up code reviews[^] - is largely a blog featuring the product produced by the member's company. It reads like an advert, at best a blog but is currently awaiting moderation in the articles queue.

I'm not sure what to do for best - thinking wrong section for now but thought I'd throw it out here for thoughts.

Words by Sean answering me in another message:

If it comes as a blog (there is a bug when changing type to article when staff edits a blog)... OK
If it comes as article in the first place... report. Th feed option is there, let's them use it.

So... I would go reporting the article anyways. About the user... you might give him a friendly warning and see what happens
