The spam and abuse forum is a place to report content that may have slipped past other members. To have content removed, multiple members need to report a piece of content (or a member's account) and so if you find something abusive, or that is spam, hidden in a seldom visited corner of the site you can report it here so others can review and report (and hence close) if necessary.
Please note:
- If you catch an author plagiarizing, please close the article and report and close the account, unless the author is a very active member who has otherwise behaved themselves. Here is our Plagiarism FAQ if you have any questions about what qualifies.
- Do no report users who post Press Releases, unless it is obviously unrelated material
- If you catch spam in the Message Moderation queue, please mark it as spam (rather than deleting it) so that the spam catcher can learn.
- It is OK to report abusive language as spam in the Message Moderation queue.
- In Quick Answers, please allow users to answer old questions unless they are spamming.
- If you think someone is breaking a site rule, but are uncertain, you can look at our Terms of Service
- When in doubt, ask for assistance from an admin.
cheers,

I suspect a spammer-in-training, but it could just be a troll.

Hi,
This is me (Malcolm Arthur McLean). Yes, obviously I want people to visit the MiniBasic website. The code itself isn't all that useful without the documentation, and I've spent a lot of time making the website look nice so MiniBasic is well-documented.
What happened was that I imported the project from github. And it came up with a rather spammy-looking webpage which was auto-generated from the repository. And I didn't know what to do. The Code Project help seemed to suggest that all you had to do was import the project. And the code is presumably zipped up, and the docs are on the website. Which is a github.io website. But it does look like spam.
You can also get a hard copy of the documentation and code. So for a small interpreter, MiniBasic is really well documentented.
I've written some text now to replace the auto-generated page.

Apologies for any confusion. First off, thanks for trying to share your projects with CodeProject.
When we created the ability to share your projects, our intention was to actually import peoples projects that were either already full-fledged CodeProject articles, or could be edited to be full-fledged articles. Unfortunately, submissions don't generally work out this way.
Links back to your MiniBasic website aside, your submission did not match our article guidelines. I've removed the submission and emailed you some helpful links on what we're looking for in a CodeProject submission. Please let me know if you don't receive it, or have questions.
If you want to edit a project you've imported, please follow this FAQ on how to do so:
CodeProject Article FAQ - Part 3: How to Use the CodeProject Article Editor[^]
As for spam, I would recommend not submitting your first articles and including links to your website. You are, however, always welcome to upload a full copy of the source code, then put a link below that, which goes to your website and is a link to the latest code.
Additionally, I can see you submitted a Tip for consideration. I actually think your other project you submitted, would be better suited as a tip on CodeProject. If you were willing, I could remove your project submission, and submit it as a Tip instead on your behalf.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Yes, thanks for getting back.
It's a bit overwhelming at first. I think the option to import a github project is a bit confusing for someone new, because it creates the impression that what you are looking for is bona fide projects, and the mechanics of getting it linked github are a bit overwhelming - github send you a two factor authorisation code on their part, so the priority is to see that the mechanics are in place.
In the case of Mini Basic, it has a very short github md, which doesn't look like spam, because on the github site, you can see the code in front of you. And you can grab that if that is what you want, or you can follow the link to the website if you want some docs on how to use it. But here it looks like spam. And it doesn't help that the docs are available as a printed book, and of course that has to be charged for. But that doesn't mean that Mini Basic is some sort of fraud, or even a commercial product. It's just very well documented and a lot of effort has been put into making sure that people are able to use it. But it looked exactly like a spam link, and I tried to edit it to remove the "buy now" link, and somehow that didn't work.
So apologies. But it's newness.
And yes, the IEEE 754 codes would make a better fit for a tip than an article, I realised that after doing a bit more exploration. However you still want a link to github in case a bug is found and they need updating.
And all my hobby programming stuff is free to anyone, and I've got some really great material I can share.
And I've got a serious illness, which is bad news for me, but it means I'm now excused work, and I no longer have to write code that makes money, and I'm full time on hobby programming.
And thanks again for taking time to look at this.
