I don't think its spam - he doesn't link off to any other site, or try to sell anything. It seems to be just a program he wrote, that he's uploaded here, and a really poor article.

Cheers,

Mick

My bad. 1 off-site link, 3 broken images, and a praise of the tool made me think it was a spam. Sorry.

Have to agree with Mick - that's just an app, and a poor article rather than spam.

There are at least a couple of obvious differences between Miki & myself, however.

No, I agree, it's not spam. It's abuse.

No it isn't. It's called attempting to maintain some community standards for the forums.

"community Standards" defined by whom? By the poster of the above, by you?

No sorry, this is just Paranoia, remember my question from yesterday! It was answer, solved, done... But no some self-respecting guards needed to delete it...

Sorry, for me this is only Paranoia!

[Edit]
BTW It was/is maybe neither spam nor abuse,maybe it was just a wrong klick

As defined by the website administrators. If you have a problem with that, then take it up with them.

No it isn't. Apparently you do know the meaning of the word.

Posting link to barcode SDK: Re: C# barcode decoding library - C# Discussion Boards[^]
OK, it's pretty innocuous.
Except... check out his messages: Latest Messages[^] And two of them are press releases for the same SDK, one is for another product by the same company.
And his comments: Comments by alexangr[^] - both linking to the same company.
So five messages, four of which are the same company products, two comments - same company again.
Spam, and spammer.
