A website[^] is displaying articles posted here as if it were posted on the site and then hosting a link to the article in an embedded iframe with the site logo on the top. My tips/tricks as well as some others too, are landing on the site. The real authors are "claimed" to be authors of the posts in that sites. And this, (as per my understanding of CPOL, correct me if wrong) is a clear breach of the CPOL terms.
The offending link:[^]
The "HTML" page[^]
And the "Authors" page[^]
Screenshot[^]
**An interesting thing to note, the Code Project click-jack buster comes into operation and "blasts" the iframe, redirecting us to the original page. But if you're quick enough or on a slow internet connection, you can see the the header and the article being hosted in an iframe, before the scripts are loaded.

I had a checked on some authors and they have listed there Sasha, ScottGu, Sean Ewington.
But if you click on the links it sends you direct to the authors codeproject article or their own site depending on what they have put as a link,

Did you read the footnote, actually they try to embed it in an iframe, but the codeproject clickjack buster, moves the iframe to top level.

This is the place!
You can start the ball rolling (if you have the rep points) by clicking the flag next to the stars at the top of the article - this should open a drop down from reports, including "plagiarised" - which is the one you want. But reporting it here is good as well, as it means our crack team of voters can blitz it PDQ.
(You can optionally do the same with the article "author" as well)

You are (of course) welcome to your own opinion.
However, this site does have a 'zero tolerance' approach to plagiarism, and part of our efforts to maintain article quality via moderation does mean that we keep an eye open for copied material.
And when we find it, we do our best to ensure that it does not remain on the site...

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.

This[^] user attempted to add his portfolio as a reference article. Unfortunately, you can't moderate references (there's only an "option" to approve), so I've deleted the offending item.
