Please don't feed the spam filters with wrong data.

The answer report could be: Repost (I know it is not exactly a repost, but it manages the nuke too and it doesn't interfere with background things)
The user report is: Abusive / troll

It's all subjective; the difference between a troll and a spammer is sometimes a very fine line.

Might be, but in this case, there is no spammy words in the solution. I am trying to keep the spam filters focused on what does matters. It already is a difficult task to get all the garbage sorted, don't need to start increasing the false positives that might get flagged.

I found this guy: Ali Tarhini - Professional Profile[^]

As it looks like some of his articles here were just a copy + paste content of articles in other place (I will suppose they are / were his articles over there)

But his 11 tips are just a tiny text and a link to the other place like "you can see the examples here: [Link], or see the code here: [Link], or similars) and, even worst, the site linked is not available anymore (or at least giving me problems)

The items are pretty old:
How To make a Windows 7 bootable cd/dvd[^]
Programmatically Create System Restore Point[^]
Windows 7 Secrets: The God Mode[^]
Using jQuery Shadowbox Inside ASP.NET UpdatePanel[^]
The Coin Changing Problem![^]
Cross Product of arrays using LINQ[^]
DEVELOPMENT AND CODING STANDARDS: SQL and Database Guidelines[^]
Exception Handling Guidelines[^]
How To Increase Your Internet Connection Speed[^]
Error spawning 'mt.exe'[^]
Sequence contains no elements[^]

Sorting Algorithms in VB.NET: How To Implement Merge Sort[^]
String Optimization in VB.NET[^]
How to Get a List of Non-Working Devices Using VB.NET[^]

The other ~~two~~ articles contains no links and can not be checked against them.

I would go for site-driver/spam or for extremly poor quality anyways. Your thoughts?

Definitely looks like site-driving spam to me.

BTW, one of your links is to the "new discussion" form rather than to an article. Smile | :)

EDIT: I'm guessing it was meant to be:
How to Get a List of Non-Working Devices Using VB.NET[^]
which has a site-driving link in the second paragraph.

EDIT 2: Or maybe this one?
DEVELOPMENT AND CODING STANDARDS: SQL and Database Guidelines[^]

EDIT 3: Looking at his messages[^], he had at least one article closed as "spam" back in 2013:
How to upload images to hosting environment for free from VB.NET[^]
