Spam and Abuse Watch

Re: Site-driving Spam - all gone

It's not spam - that's advertising or site driving without permission - but it is a form of abuse, if repeated.

Chances are that he figured he'd written all he needed to in the question subject, and couldn't be bothered to add any details in the actual question. He's brand new to the site, so it's likely he doesn't know how to ask a question at all. I'd have told him off, gently, and asked for clarification instead of closing the question. But we are all different!

All containing links to the same commercial product, which I'm sure we've had spam from previously.

I'm also suspicious that this question[^] could be a setup for the spam answer, although it took nearly three months for the payload to arrive.

Is copied (and hacked) from this: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/hasansheik/covariance-and-contravariance-in-C-Sharp/[^]

Some of the text is copy'n'pasted, some is slightly modified, but the examples boil down to the same, and everything is in the same order.
Intelligent plagiarism, but still plagiarism.

Yes, it was spam.
It was easy to dispose of, the spammer needs a couple more kicks.
