Wasting one's time deleting the text of a spam post is not necessary and while reporting spam as spam and then commenting in the textbox is the thing to do, if you really think calling any more attention to it IS necessary and an issue worthy of public note, leave that judgement to those who WOULD post if THEY thought it necessary, please.

Okay. I am Sorry.

Please don't edit the spam to remove the content - it makes it a lot harder for the automated systems Chris tries to spot what is and what isn't when it gets reported. I used to, but I can understand the logic once I was hit over the head with it...
Report it, here and with the report flag, and it will vanish son enough!

Not the whole article, but a large part was copied. So yes, it is plagiarism. I down-voted and reported the article.
Member 10317084 wrote: How come you guys promote such an article???
The articles in the Top Article Survey are selected based on vote count. The article had enough up-votes to be one of the Top Articles.
[EDIT]
The author has deleted the article now.

No, I'm not, but if the admins read your message, then they will probably send him guidelines, or even close his account.

We most assuredly do not promote plagiarism. But, since CP is a community policed site, not everybody puts forth the effort to find out if an article is plagiarized or not and they hit the Approve button without doing the work to find out.

Yes, I checked them, and for his two other articles, I found them posted on another site, but posted AFTER the version on CodeProject. So the article that's deleted now is the only one he plagiarized.
Looks like I didn't see that his other articles also were plagiarized.

We don't promote it. Actually we fight against it. With more than 10 Million users is quite difficult to have it all under control. Our response time can sometimes be slower as desirable. We are all volunteers after all.
You did it right, you found it, reported it here. Article is gone

Its true that the article was gone!
But strict ACTIONS have to be taken so that from future this just not happen. I can realize that handling 10 Million user is not an easy task.
People can read out this thread any time , right? We have caught one plagiarist and if we don't take strict actions now then what message these 10 Million user would get from this thread actually?
The plagiarists delete his post and we are happy with it ???

We don't. Every article and tip which is posted needs to be moderated, which means that members with sufficient experience read and check it, and it takes five such to agree it should go through, or be refused. One of the standard checks is generally to try and find the article on the net somewhere and if we do, the article is marked as plagiarised and will not be approved. However, it isn't always easy to spot and sometime a copied article will get through - but even then, then is a mechanism (or actually two) for removing plagiarised material.
Firstly, there is a "report" button on every article which can be used to mark an article as copied (or otherwise unsuitable) and again sufficient such votes will remove it.
Secondly, there is this forum, where such abuse can be reported directly by any member in exactly the way you did (this will generally ensure a faster response than just hitting the report button, but doing both is a good idea.
It is also quite common for plagiarists to have the account deleted if this is not an isolated incident. (The "author" of the offending article only needs a few more strikes and his account will be history.) To that end, I have just about to go through the other two articles by the same author with a fine tooth comb...
We do not condone plagiarism (just look at some of the posts here) - but we are all human, and we do make mistakes from time to time. Things don't happen instantly - it takes multiple people to remove an article or account for everyone's protection - but they do happen when we are alerted to a problem.
