Kicking the author will remove the articles?

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Good point.
The three we have spotted (see S&A) will probably be gone soon - but I guess we have to assume the rest of his output is equally stolen...I hadn't planned on going through them all today. 
I dunno - I assume they don't, but I don't know for sure. Chris? What happens when a serial plagiarist is kicked?

By the way - the member has no 'medal' of MVP, only the list! Could it be that it is faked too?

No, the MVP medal only lasts a year. If you don't get it the second time, you revert to Professional or Member.

May I ask, why my filters got cleared? Did I do something or is this Codeprojects policy to reset filter of everyone. Before it happened twice. I asked here in this forum. Nobody cared to answer(or may be somebody answered but I forgot!). Again it happened.

I have found in the past that selecting one of the product tabs on the home page will clear or change the filters.

After reading your comment I have done some check and found out that every time I click on a tab, it changes the settings. If I press 'All' then the content get cleared. It keep changing with all the tabs.
I hope they change the option.

For articles one has to write a comment in case one votes below a certain Limit.
Why not the same in Q&A?
[Edit]
Or much simpler and more transparent: Displays who has voted what.
That open, a programmer community should be

It would result in an awful lot of unhelpful noise. The chances that a person asking a question will improve their question based on a comment are far, far less than that of an article.

This[^] article should be categorized as a Product Showcase[^] entry. It seems to be little more than an ad.

Its nothing but a bunch of links. Seems more like Spam to me. Lets see what hamsters think.

it happened to me too
M.D.V. 
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.

We don't version forum messages so without knowing who the original author is I can't change it.
I have fixed the code, though, so it won't happen again.
Out of interest, was there a reason an edit needed to be made? (I'm curious as to how your new found powers are finding uses for Good)

It was largely a test on my part. The code blocks were a bit messed up so I thought I would try and make them look neater. At the bottom of the edit page it said "post as: name" where name was the OP's name (and the other information that Dave Auld reported to you). So when I pressed Post I expected the OP's name to remain but it changed it to me.

I just noticed that (recently?) there is a link added 'discuss' when reporting an item.
This link however takes you to the moderator forum, that's probably very useful when reporting a article, but when reporting a profile (spammer) it would probably be better that it takes you to the 'spam & abuse' forum.
Just a small thing, nothing big, no need to yell 'STOP the presses' or anything like that

A very good idea...

Not sure how this is possible given that there's no way to select whether you choose spam or abuse without triggering the callback. I could have links to both forums I guess...

I think you misunderstood.
The difference is not in what you choose (spam or abuse) but in what you are reporting (profile or article or QA).
When reporting an article it makes sense that the link goes to the moderators forum.
But when reporting an member profile I think it makes more sense to go to the spam and abuse forum.
For a Q/A question I'm not sure yet what the more logical forum to go to but my first thought would also be the spam and abuse forum since the moderators forum is for articles as I understand it.

OK, that's a fair point. I was thinking more along the lines that there may be (and have been) discussions on a specific member and their posts. Someone submitting a spammy blog, or someone constantly posting poor quality stuff, for instance. There may be a discussion on how to moderate their contributions as a whole. However, I think this is the minor case when you're reporting a specific member and you're right: the major case for the report flag on a profile will be in discussing a user's behaviour, not their contributions.

We can only hope for a day when this is no longer the case
Like I said noting major and if you decide to keep it linking to the moderator forum it's good for me as well, it's up to you
