That was quick.

The member managed to post a spam answer in QA as well, but it only needs one more kick: How i can find this web services for Find/Invite Friends (ex.Hotmail) - Solution 2[^]

Spammed article deleted, and a message sent to the author to tell him that we will continue to delete his articles, no matter how many spam accounts he sets up, until he pays Code Project for advertising.

2 more kicks to the user needed.

I thought it was interesting, that he posted it as a Tip. It seems he has been studying the process, looking for weak spots.

This company has attempted to spam the site so many times, I'm not surprised they've moved over to trying Tips/Tricks.

10 years of BI and he doesn't have the business intelligence to figure out that if he spams the site it's not really doing his business any good?

I believe I have them bookmarked from earlier. I just never got around to reporting them here. Let's see if I remember correctly:
johansonalex[^]
sdafsafss2[^]
Joseph-Ali[^]
cathyhill[^]

I have to admit I am not 100% sure Joseph-Ali was the one promoting that well-known product or if it was another account, but he has lots of other Answers for you to report as spam.

We have seen this before. This member[^] is just posting "answers" in order to drive traffic to another website.

~~Link to answers posted[^]~~

Account is gone. Flood of messages remain. Just about anything that says that I updated on the first couple of pages (currently) are going to be spam from this guy. My bad.

You may stop editing his posts. I'm not sure, but editing may reset the spam report count. I just got a notfication when you edited a post that I have reported before:

Quote:
The answer PHP Code didn't work when using file_get_contents that you reported has been updated by on 14 Jul 2013 and is now Available.

Additionally, on many posts that have been edited by you, I was the first one reporting. If you have reported before editing, the count has been reset.
