You have done the right thing by reporting it here. It will not be long before the posted articles and the member are dealt with.

It look like his 3rd Tip
JavaScript setTimeout Function [^]
is taken from
http://www.jquerybyexample.net/2014/11/javascript-settimeout-executes-function-immediately.html[^]
or some similar post.

The two tips you reported are now gone, and his third is on its way. The member is nearly dead as well.

Sorry about that, we try to prevent plagiarism getting through, but sometimes we do miss it. Thank you for shooting it, and bringing it to our attention!

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?

Every answer he's posted takes the form, "Visit [spam site] to find the answer".

Actually I think it might be plagiarised - code looks very familiar to some of the work from here[^] - even some of the words "get fancy" from the same source.

...and in a similar order.

I'm not happy we should publish this: I suspect the link was the purpose of the publication, and wonder if the plan was to add it back later, or if it's a hidden link (as we have seen elsewhere)?

Given that the OP joined today, this looks more suspicious every time I look at it.
I'm leaning towards spam / plagiarism, but...I'm just not sure!

Didn't want to reply there (and can't direct email you) in case it gives the OP ideas!

Good thinking!

I thought it over and decided to report it as plagiarism over spam - not sure why I chose one over the other. I definitely leant in the direction of abuse of one sort or another!

Was still debating with myself on whether to report it here or not - but like you I'm getting more leery about it the more I look at it.

Shall I or will you? Report here that is
