Also I don't think he is a genuine recruiter. A possible phisher?

May be they both got the same homework. Now it's time to write a program for Random homework generator

I saw many cases before looking like two or more people from presumably the same class get identical assignment and all ask the same question at CodeProject. They also seemingly don't see each other's questions and answers. This is all funny, but the questions are never identical. Only in this case.

I think you really need to look at what you class as abuse here. If they are two people, then it is not abuse.
Consider the situation where poster 1 asks a question, and on the same day but later on, poster 2 also has the question but doesn't post it because she has seen there's already a question on it. Now, people answer poster 1 the following day, but because poster 2 does not get notifications of answers to somebody else's question she has no idea that it's been answered. Poster 2 is now disadvantaged. Is that a good thing?

I'm not reporting it as the abuse in either case. A person shows source code as one's own. Another person does the same, and the code is exactly the same. (From different countries, aha, but it could be just the artifact of registration.) I don't see how your schema could work. I simply asked them both about it.

Answer one, post a comment to the poster of the second one pointing them to the first, and report the second as duplicate.

Not a big deal, of course, but technically the second is not a duplicate, if the persons are different. Never before I saw 100% identical title of the question and identical code. I simply asked each one about it, none of them answered so far.

Hi,
A malicious user tried to inject some JS script in the comments of my article. But of course It is not interpretted  .
My article: XSLT 2.0 in .NET[^]
Is it possible to delete it ?
Kind regards,

No harm done. At least not to the site. To his reputation? Well, maybe a little harm done.

Perhaps the site only won a small piece of reputation. In my eyes — for sure; the case confirmed that the site is protected against those cheap JavaScript tricks.

My concern is: should we tolerate such behavior?
Please see this question, the answer by OriginalGriff and the follow-up discussion:
membership in asp.net[^].
Please pay attention to the comments by royach (http://www.codeproject.com/Members/royach[^]), accusations of the OP addressed to the one who actually answered the question and my reply.
Note that I reported the first question of the member as "not an answer", and the second one (the last one at the moment of writing, referenced above) is somewhat abusive. I also reported the OP for abuse.
In my opinion, tolerating of such behavior would open a door to further contamination of CodeProject site with low- or negative-value content and ultimately the damage to the prestige of the site, which also lowers the value of our activity, which I would not like.
What would be the appropriate action?
Thank you,
—SASergey A Kryukov

In this casr, educating the OP on the expected etiquette seems to be an appropriate response. I suspect that language differences meant that the OP felt he was being attacked, which often leads to an immature response. With guidance, he could end up being a productive member of the site. Remember that a heavy handed approach is not always the best reponse, and a gentle approach can often work wonders.

Thank you for your reply.
I tend to agree, but only basically. I don't think my approach this very case is not gentle enough.
I don't think your reference to a different culture is relevant is this case. I tend to tolerate the manners. If fact, some behaviors perfectly normal in one culture are considered overly explicit in other culture and hence rude, which is not always the case. In this case, this is more of the attitude. After all, if someone tells you "excuse me I feel that you owe me $100, please be so kind to repay me this money" or "hey you, give me my $100 at once", you won't repay if you actually don't owe the money, regardless the form of the request, right?
This case is not just a case of formally rude manners ("you answer sucks" could be tolerated is properly argumented in technical aspects), but the attitude and general ignorance.
In would think, OP should be at least warned about inappropriate posting; and inadequate reaction could be a reason for suspension of the account. Please see another abuse report below: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4165760/Insulting-to-CPians-in-general.aspx[^]. The account was disabled. I think this was a valid precedent.
Thank you,

I don't agree - what could have been handled with a little bit of tact has escalated completely out of hand. Reporting users for getting upset is not what the abuse forum was intended for.

The thing to do here is learn from what has happened and try to avoid it happening again.
As has been stated, everyone here (except for a small core of staff who run the site) is a volunteer, we don't get paid for this work, and we do it in our own time. When something is easily researched the members here are not going to spend time doing the work because we are effectively doing the job of the original questioner without the pay.
OriginalGriff didn't attack you IMO, but even if he did responding in such a way is only going to make the problem worse (as you have seen). There are people on the Internet who will deliberately use this response to annoy you.
My advice is to read the guidance when asking a question (under the green submit button). Be as specific as possible. If you are having trouble getting started say so, you will probably get a better response as we have all been in this situation.
