He's a valuable member, I remember some of his articles and they are well done. If it is possibile it could be moved in Third Party Products, otherwise I'd delete the article but not the author.

What is strange that after two years of silence he came back with two articles of the same purpose - he also upgraded his profile with endless links to his own product-site (of which others were banned in past)...
Anyway - let the hamsters decide...

Agree. This article is an advertisement of CppCat application.

It's spam. Clear and simple - he's advertising a product. While there's a "free"ish version for students, the vast majority of people here are professional coders, so this looks like a cynical ploy. Deal with it the way you'd deal with other spam articles.

Yeah, go ahead - resurrect a question from four years ago to post a link to a commercial tool. It's not like we're going to notice. D'Oh! | :doh:

Replying to one of the spam messages from den2k88's post below with yet more spam. D'Oh! | :doh:

~~This also suggests another spam-hunting term: "fruit flies".~~
Never mind - 11 pages of results, and this is the only obvious hit. Perhaps this one should get a special "unique spam" award? Smile | :)

I'd go for therapy, but after having removed "treatment" otherwise there would be a lot of overlaps!

EDIT: "fruit flies" even with my other spam filtering options does not show any more. I usually make the search as

keywords NOT "RE:"

to avoid answers to legitimate posts, and rank them by Rating Lo-Hi since most of the spam is unrated (reporting as spam automatically gives a score of 1), so whe you start to see stars you know it's over.
Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

The message in your last link has gone, so it now just points to an article by Marc Clifton.

You should probably remove the link, in case some trigger-happy users decide to report Marc! Smile | :)
