I mistakenly reported them as plagiarism 2 days ago and removed the links, but I found it fishy as well...

Since the payload is gone, I've deleted the setup question to prevent the legitimate answer getting an overzealous spam / abuse hit.

That is a good question - and I can't comment in this case, he's gone and so is the question list* - but in most cases the poster is posting answers to questions with an accepted solution, and which were originally posted in 2011...who does that help? Is anyone interested in an answer to a problem they fixed several years ago? Most of this is rep point farming: put what you like to "easy" old questions and rake in points for doing it, and you can build up a good Authority rep without knowing anything... That is abuse, I suspect, if you think about it - particularly from the POV of those who have worked hard to get a "genuine" 10K authority.
* - I notice that my name appears in the list of kickers, but I don't remember the name, and didn't "abuse" vote him as a result of this thread. So I'm guessing this isn't his first offence...

It is indeed complicated...I didn't saw other answers from poster, but here[^] I defended him as his answer was definitely better than the one posted 3 years before...
It also worth to remember that answers not only for the one asked the questions, but if someone got the proper brain can find answers for 80% of ones problems by simply searching CP...

Could it be a repeat of the coffee situation Griff? I think you should go take a nap now.

Obviously depends on the quality of the solution and whether it's a genuine alternative.
OriginalGriff wrote: who does that help?
'Not helping' is not a sackable offence (otherwise I'd be long gone)
OriginalGriff wrote: and rake in points for doing it
He has 600 rep points after 2 1/2 years here, 200 of which are Authority - Not exactly raking it in, I suspect he has no interest in points and was just trying to contribute to the site. I don't answer questions but if I did I suspect I'd start with old hidden ones to build my confidence first.
OriginalGriff wrote: rep point farming
I would argue we're seeing another version of this with the reporters - Don't you get 5 points per report? You only need to look at some peoples organiser history since the middle of 2014.
One thing I have noticed with Chris is he is very fair and only kicks people as a last resort. In the old days before this forum, this may have got posted in sugs & bugs and Chris would have maybe had a quiet word with them - not close their account.
I guess I feel report should only be used in 3 circumstances
0. Spam
1. Plagirism (articles)
2. Personel attacks/abuse
I think banning people for small transgressions such as 'answering the wrong questions' is just going to lead to this site having a worse rep. than Stackoverflow.

Look at the spam attacks since the middle of 2014.

Its 'small' only if its within limits. If it goes out, it will be reported,obviously.
- If you answer 5 wrong questions, its ok
- 10, its ok. Warning would work.
- but how it can be 20 per hour?
This is not my opinion, it's how CP works.

Exactly. Are you suggesting this guy is as harmful to the site as a spammer?

Sorry. Not sure I understand this bit. Are you saying these are the rules cP has in place? Please link to them.

No. I wanted to say is,if someone posts 5-10 irrelevant answers, it can be understood by the community that you don't know the rules so you are posting solutions here and there. They are advised how to post/where to post/why to post depending on the question/situation, but we have seen members in past who were posting 20-30 such solutions per hour. Such a high frequency clearly shows that you are abusing the reputation system.
Its not that we are reporting such members right away. They were warned. This guy was also warned but he didn't listen.I will especially invite you to have a look if i find such case in future.
