Why do you think that is spam? It looks like a reasonable article to me - not something I would be interested in, but not spam-like.

The link I posted was to the comment posted on my article (notice this link ends with "?msg=4215062#xx4215062xx"), but since this spam comment was removed (thank you, whoever did that!), so link now opens the whole article)) Of course I wouldn't report my own article Laugh | :laugh:

Well I did wonder. Honesty in spammers would be so refreshing though, don't you think? Laugh | :laugh:

When that day will come, most people would be saints probably.
I should have mentioned it was a message, not an article.

It just was so not nice to offer me some "designer" handbags. I always wondered how this stuff gets to CodeProject, I doubt many people on CodeProject would want "designer handbags". May be competitors are trying to spam the site...? Confused | :confused:

Marketing Factories I suspect: people paid nearly nothing to post adverts for anything anywhere they can for twelve hours a day.

Think yourself lucky it was handbags - there are much, much worse things to be offered (particularly with pictures Dead | X|

)

Posting a file at a time of C# as a question, in groups of five with no text or anything else?
I've tried report as "not a question", and ploite messages, but he doesn't see to get the idea.
Is this abuse, and should it be reported as such?

I see he is no longer with us - ah, bless - but there is a problem with his posts? If you look at the Unanswers QA questions list, they are all still there, but unclickable.

Looks like plagiarism this time

You can also press the red flag at the bottom of the message, which tags it as abuse. If it gets enough tags, it gets deleted anyway.
The poster has no account any more! Big Grin | :-D
