This member[^]

Posting links to: http://www.flexrule.com[^] to old questions in QA.

Looking at his old messages, it appears as though he may have been the developer of it?

First we should tell him that he's doing something wrong. If he continues the same after our notification, then .....

I had a look at the solutions in that list, and the first one is a poor solution, but it does answer the question. The others aren't really irrelevant to the original question, I think they just show a lack of experience - except the last two, which are indeed irrelevant, and I down voted them (something I don't normally do, but posting rubbish then posting a link to that rubbish as a solution is not on).

I think at this stage a warning instead of account closure is probably more appropriate?

So finally we should leave it for now i think. Thanks for your response.

If some member is posting irrelevant solutions over and over again,should it be reported here? I am not making details available in this message,but i can post the details after some members clarification. The reason is,members account gets deleted once reported here,so i don't want it to happen if its not the case of Abuse.

Let me know your view please.

If they aren't relevant to the question, then yes - it's probably abuse and should be raised here.
Chances are it's either something that can be stopped with a firm "read the question", or it's a points troll. Either way, if we don't know about it, we can't respond.

Well, in that cases I usually report the answers and give a warning to the poster.

If he/she continues... then I report the user.

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?
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.

It's not spam, and it's not abusive; it's just junk.
