K, Got it... So you say such questions are allowed in Q/A?

I leave it to the community - I'm not pretending to be the only person who has an opinion. I just thought I'd throw an alternative point of view in there. You were right to raise the question, and hopefully people will display wisdom and maturity in pondering whether or not we should be allowing such questions.

Spam[^] <-- certainly
Spammer?????[^]
The account is 4 and a bit years old, he provided what looks like an actual answer here[^], but that was two years ago.

If it's a hijack, the original owner can ask for a reinstatement on that basis and will know that there is a problem or that is password is compromised.
Either way, the account needs to be closed at least temporarily, so I hit the "spammer" button.

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.

I assume you mean the guy who's posting about political asylum and that he's still in the free world?
I'm guessing he sold his medication for crack money...

That would be the one. Haven't seen that before and I've been around here for 10 years...

Not really spam as such, could be reputation building.
The older answer (the one about the anlges) does look like he's solved it himself & posted his solution. It is harder to say for today's as I don't have the times. The only thing he's done wrong IMO is getting shirty with CPallini et al in the comments of the angles question.

There is nothing too bad in it. What's really wrong: I'm sure that this site should block self-accepting of answers, or, even better, not accept self answers. It would not be a real harm to people who found a great (or not so great, but voting system will play here) answers: such person can always write a short Tip/Trick article.
A good number of members use self answers to build "reputation". Some of such members lost their membership due to reporting on this forum followed by abuse reports, but generally the community reaction is slow. You are just peeking a wrong target. This person is not really bad. Who cares about such reputation? But, it contaminates the site and creates poor moral climate, lowing down the reputation of the site and motivation of others. Trash matters.
