He should be history now!
How do we preserve the wisdom men will need,

The following two members look very suspicious to me, but I'm not sure what (if any) actions should be done.
First guy: senthil .Net Developer
Second guy: C#developer.asp
First guy posted two questions [^] on which the second guy provided an answer, additionally the first guy "replied" with an answer instead of the comment and marked both "solutions" as accepted answers.
He does this repeatedly, mark his own "comments" as an accepted answers and so does the second guy, see here.
Also here the first guy provided an answer which is again just a comment to that second guy's question and that "comment" is again accepted.
Maybe I'm a bit paranoid but I believe these two are building their spam accounts for future usage.

Don't think it's to do with Spam, it's the same guy trying to game the system by getting easy points for questions he asked as a sock puppet.
C#developer is already one of the top experts in the last 24 hours.

Yea I caught that too, but I don't see a point in building up reputation points...
What benefit does it have from doing it, am I missing something that reputation points provide?
The only thing that comes to my mind why someone would want to do this is because he thinks that if he's spamming with an account which has a relatively high reputation points that he will not get kicked out.
If I'm correct then I would do is let him build his accounts and kick him on first spam sight, so he wastes all the time and energy building these accounts just to get them kicked at first sight.

Nothing for normal people, but to some it's like a high score on a computer game or to show of in front of mates or just for personal satisfaction.

Oh I see... well honestly I never meat any forum points/reputation fanatic (if I may call them that) so this didn't cross my mind.
But now when I think about it I guess you are right, there are people with a strange obsession for forum rankings.

Now he's posting "I don't know to all the questions he doesn't know the answer to (the ones he didn't post himself)  I'm guessing that earns him points
see here[^]

... I've also spotted those 2, they've also been reposting other members solutions in the same question
I've been marking their solutions as "Not an Answer", "Misleading" or "Repost" - whatever is the most appropriate.

Yes I noticed this too, but while I was writing this post you already cleaned those answers so I removed them from initial text.
BTW good job

Excellent, thanks Mario

I'd agree - I'd say sock puppets.
The C#Dev account is just posting random crap "happy new year in advance" is his current favorite.
Kicking time!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
