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?

This question may mean a request for the software cracked for unauthorized access:

It does not look like a legitimate use of CodeProject.

Did you spot his other question?
He wants the hacked software because he deleted one of his database tables by mistake and wants it back ... couldn't happen to a nicer person, really... :EvilGrinSmiley:

Well, sending bulk mail may not be the spam or other kind of cyber crime, but one is also looking how to hide some information…

Strange - I can't see a good reason for posting like this twenty minutes apart...any ideas what we should do? Because I can;t help feeling it is abuse of some kind, just I can;t work out exactly what... Confused | :confused:

There is another identical question posted from both accounts:
How to avoid compatibility issue of IE 11 with IIS7.5?[^]
How to avoid compatibility issue of IE 11 with IIS7.5?[^]
I guess he has two accounts. Maybe he thinks he gets faster/better answers when posting the question twice. At the moment I would not treat it as abuse while there are no more duplicates and he does not answer himself using the other account.

Maybe we should ask him to delete one account.

The QA answer below has 15 revisions (presently) and it looks like he is experimenting with some large code fragments in some of them. I am on my phone and can't really look into it at the moment, but it looks fishy.

To be clear, I am concerned about what he is submitting. As an example, see revision 14: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/EntryVersion.aspx?aid=698804&av=1030676[^]

Yep! The "question" is his, the first "answer" is his - it's a rep hunter.

OriginalGriff21-Dec-13 22:02

21-Dec-13 22:02

The revisions are annoying, but more to the point he posted the "question" and the "answer" - so I'm assuming this is a rep point hunter, given the nature of the question and answer.
Abuse all round.

SoMad22-Dec-13 6:02

22-Dec-13 6:02

Yes, but I was actually more concerned about what he is putting there. As an example, check out revision 14: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/EntryVersion.aspx?aid=698804&av=1030676[^].

A large chunk of SQL, without even any attempts to prep it for SQL Injection.
Odd. Any ideas why?

22-Dec-13 6:39

No idea why and it's a bit hard to look into on my phone Smile | :)

. It seems to be an awful lot of stuff if the purpose is simply to have a difference from one revision to the next.
