Just to add to that: the spam content doesn't last too long, generally, once it's reported here.
Once one of the Admins or us Protectors sees it, the "delete" button gets engaged damn quickly. 
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

In past(2 years ago), I have removed long content(2-3 page) of few spam questions because those pages took long time to load. These spammers reminds me of that.

The second link is showing me some thing like : This is an auto-saved draft copy of the new unpublished article created by the submission wizard.
Why this is so? Many times i come across such message,but i can not understand if its auto-saved draft copy than why in a moderation queue?

I appreciate that someone responded thoughtfully to my raising the flag of caution.

This QA question: [^] with the title:
"Editable Gridview with Textbox, CheckBox, Radio Button and DropDown List"
was posted 43 minutes ago; the question, and its title, appear not to have been edited.
The question was answered 2 minutes later by a CP memvber who provided a link to this 2009 CP article: [^] whose title is:
"Editable Gridview with Textbox, CheckBox, Radio Button and DropDown List"
The answer has been voted #5.
It seems like an ... errr ... unusual coincidence that the title of the question exactly matches the 2009 CP article title linked to by the person who answered the question.
edit: The answer has now been "accepted."

And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,

And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.

It is, in my opinion, a co-incidence - The member who has posted the answer has posted over 200 answers[^] and can be seen as respectable Q&A answerer - In addition, the article he is linking to is not written by him - It is written by another CP member!
Replying to questions with links to codeproject articles is not that uncommon (in fact, I have caught myself doing this a few times, too). I think that the answer has the same title as the article is rather a proof of the lack of the questioner's Google / Search skills than anything else.
After all, I think you caught up a false-positive, and you can edit your OP the way that no one is gonna harm the Answerer, Questioner and Article author.

"After all, I think you caught up a false-positive, and you can edit your OP the way that no one is gonna harm the Answerer, Questioner and Article author."
Excuse me, I'm not caught-up in anything: I clearly posted what I observe as a rather remarkable co-incidence, and I have not explicitly accused anyone of anything.
I find the fact that the unedited title of a QA question matches, character by character, the title of a 2009 CP article very interesting. And the very quick posting of the reply, and its being accepted, and upvoted: interesting.
Respond to the information presented, and spare me your negative fantasies.

You did implicitly, by posting your OP in the Sapm & Abuse Watch.

Nevertheless, even if it is interesting: It doesn't proof anything - Since you posted this in the Spam and Abuse watch I think you are referring to an abusive behavior, for which there is no proof.
