Re: Blog post about commercial product... Pete O'Hanlon28-Jan-14 8:36 Pete O'Hanlon 28-Jan-14 8:36  It looks okay. It's a blog post about fixing an issue. It's not as though he's trying to get us to buy the product. Thoughts on this guy...

I don't see any obvious spam or abusive messages in there. Perhaps he's just an extremely negative person?

Dave Kreskowiak28-Jan-14 4:59 Dave Kreskowiak 28-Jan-14 4:59  I was thinking more along the lines of "10 years and nothing good to contribute" sniffs along the lines of abuse. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Re: Thoughts on this guy... OriginalGriff28-Jan-14 5:02 OriginalGriff 28-Jan-14 5:02  His comments are all criticisms, yes. But...I saw no actual abuse there, just a grumpy so-and-so who didn't find exactly what he wanted. It's possible that he upvoted articles he did like without leaving a message - without that information, I don't feel I could "abuse" vote him based on the comments I did look at.

Dave Kreskowiak28-Jan-14 5:38 Dave Kreskowiak 28-Jan-14 5:38  I didn't take any action against him aside from this post. It was just a thought about possible abuse, maybe even a sock puppet account.

Edit: Just noticed that the shareware "Pro" version is different from the "Free" version. "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer Re: Spam ZurdoDev27-Jan-14 10:33 ZurdoDev 27-Jan-14 10:33  It is under the free tools section. Is that not OK? Shareware is "is proprietary software that is provided to users on a limited basis and only for a certain limited trial basis." Since it has a free version that is not time limited is it still considered Shareware? There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Edit: Never mind - I didn't notice the "Pro" version was different from the "Free" version. It still seems a bit odd that the user's only interaction with the site in eight years is to post a link to a freemium tool that's not directly related to software development. "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer Re: Spam ZurdoDev27-Jan-14 13:29 ZurdoDev 27-Jan-14 13:29  True. Of course I signed up years ago, can't even remember why, but never really did anything until somewhat recently. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
