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,

Article: IoT Reference Architecture Components[^]

New-ish member, first post. Article smelt. Turns out that he originally posted the article on LinkedIn May 21, 2022[^].

There is no mention of where the article was originally posted. This smell of spamming for exposure.

Edit: Also in moderation queue as a Blog article: IoT Reference Architecture Components[^]. Has his RSS Feed link in the footer. Here is the link to his blog post dated July 28, 2022[^]
