Does explaining how a common vulnerability works really count as abuse?

If so, should we stop explaining how SQL Injection works when users post vulnerable code?

OK, it would be better if the article explained how to avoid writing vulnerable code; but I don't think that's grounds for an abuse vote. According to the "Background" section, the user is intending to cover that in a second article anyway.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

This user[^] joined today, and posted a "question"[^] with a link to a commercial control. The "question" reads more like an advert for the control:

Which is the best HTML5 video player?[^]

Hi,

I'm wondering what you guys think is the best html5 video player? I'm looking for a video player that works on every platform and every device without the use of plugins like flash or silverlight.
The ONLY video player I found is [link to commercial product]. Can you please visit the website and let me know what you think?
If you think there are better alternatives, please let me know but I think [commercial product] is very unique in its kind.

Thanks,

Pieter

Does that smell pink and ham-like to anyone else? Unsure | :~

For me it is a clear spam...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Next time please post the link to the list. Now that the user is gone we have to make the query manually

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I think Peter meant that he'd found 10 HTML5 video players, in response to the spammer's comment: "The ONLY video player I found is [link to commercial control]". I don't think he was referring to other spam from the same user. Smile | :)
