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?

It's not spam; it's just crap.

Ouch... I didn't pay attention.

@Sean-Ewington would you mind to delete my report to the user? A crap article is actually not enough to nuke an user.

"Had" is the operative word - there were two "questions" as well. Unfortunately, my finger slipped and rejected them. Don't know how that happened...

Remove the phone number! We don't want to do the spammer's job for them, do we?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Plagiarised / site-driving would-be blog - And another one added!

This: Is there a solution that lets Node.js act as an HTTP reverse proxy?[^]
From: ~~Jamie Munro - Professional Profile[^]~~ User gone

It's nothing more than a direct copy of a StackOverflow question and accepted solution, republished on his blog:
nginx - Is there a solution that lets Node.js act as an HTTP reverse proxy? - Stack Overflow[^]

The post has also been truncated, with a large "click here to view the original blog post" link, which I'm sure we've previously decided counts as site-driving spam?

EDIT: It's the same plagiarist as reported below:
Plagiarized would be blogs - Please verify[^]

EDIT 2: And another: Auto-reload of Files in Node.js[^]
And another: Data Store for Capturing Votes & Aggregating Them[^]
And another: How Do I Do a Deferred Response from a node.js Express Action Handler?[^]
And another: gzip Without Server Support?[^]
And another: Best Server-side JavaScript Servers[^]

Who the feck keeps approving these?! Mad | :mad:

EDIT 3: Another one in the queue: Uncatchable errors in node.js[^]

The full list, in case the user goes first: Technical Blog Feeds[^]
All the dodgy ones seem to be on this feed: Node.js Recipies[^]

EDIT 4: Another one added, over an hour after the user account was closed! D'Oh! | :doh:

Is there a Thrift or Cassandra client for Node.js/JavaScript[^]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for bringing up this topic again. I saw lots of blogs from this author being approved today Frown | :(

. which i think they should not be approved.

They're still coming. I think @Sean-Ewington needs to have serious words with whoever's approving these.

The "who is approving this crap" topic has been risen several times (a couple of them by me) in the B&S Forum... unsuccessful until now.

About Sean having a look to the list and maybe doing a bigger clean up... we already summoned him some threads below.
I have already reported user and 13 of the blogs in moderation, but he has 80+ (and some of them look not so crappy, but might be plagiarized)

I'm starting to wonder whether his account has been hacked. He doesn't seem to have been active since 2015, other than posts on his "End Your If" blog. All of the plagiarised posts seem to come from the "Node.js recipies" feed: Technical Blog Feeds[^]

But if he hasn't been hacked, then everything he's ever posted has to be under suspicion.
