M.D.V.

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?

Initially, I was going for "plagiarised" as it's a copy of the article it links to - but a quick look at his Q&A: Member questions & answers[^] shows a question that has an article on the same site by that name - and that should be spam hit as well.

Now, this is a dumb one.
Posts his spam by copying an existing question and replacing bits with his site links.

Except ... he leaves the original in the "What I have tried" box ... and it's the same as the main text, but without his links. D'Oh! | :doh:

Spammer: (Giving the user the benefit of the doubt for now, as suggested below by Wendelius)
Spam: How can I perform unit-testing on Python code?[^] (Solution 3)

The words "module unit-test in Python" are a link to a training company.

His other content seems to be clean for now, but I suspect some spam might appear later:

It's the revision history of the solution, so that you can still see it after it's deleted. Smile | :)

If you click on the first revision, you can see the full text of the solution; but you can't seem to report it from there:

As all other answers are clean and the purpose may simply be to answer the question, personally I would give him the benefit of the doubt.

A gentle reminder would perhaps suffice this time?
