I would make this message sticky for a while. So it doesn't get relegated to other pages.

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.

Hmmm ... that's a good idea and I should have done it, but to do it now I have to delete this thread, repost it, then go around to where it's been shared and edit all those posts. Maybe unsticky will be OK.
Thanks,

How about adding the details to the sticky message at the top?

If it becomes problematic I will delete the thread and repost it, but I've updated the FAQ and we're updating the submit page so at least the clarification is something we can get at pretty easily:

Lily Alvin - Professional Profile - CodeProject[^]
No obvious spam posted yet, although I can't see the message that's in the moderation queue. But of the two messages posted, one is a reply to a message from September 2014.
The profile itself looks very suspicious to me.
Worth keeping an eye on, or am I just being paranoid? 
EDIT: Looks like we're going with "site-driving spam" on this one: Site driving Spammer - CodeProject[^]

Any thoughts on this?
I place Donate button in the site and project. If you like Cool Access Control. I hope you can donate us. Your donation will encourage us to continue development and keep the testing site serve. Thanks. After donation, send email to me and I will help you to remove the button.
It makes the code sound like shareware to me, which would be against the terms of service.

If the download still contains the button... it brings nothing to remove the text.
Have you spoken with him?

Guys
An user raised a question and then said that the user resolved it himself.
How do I close the question? how do we do it usually?
thanks

|
|

User is expected to answer his own question on how issue got resolved and accept that answer.

This strikes me as a handy tool and the author includes some source code but almost no explanation of how they approached/wrote/solved problems with the code. It is just presented as, "Here is some code, it works where I have tested it." Should it be allowed through to be an article or should they be encouraged just to put it up as a tool?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

This member[^] joined today, and has posted the same job advert in QA and the Managed C++/CLI forum.
Is this allowed? It smells like spam to me.

Coverting a unicode string to plain text[^]
Is it normal or abuse to have inquirer to post an answer to its own question and accepting its own answer ?

If there's no pattern for doing it several times, I wouldn't call it abuse.
Instead since the OP seemed to find a solution 3 hours after posting the question, I feel it is a good thing that the answer is posted in case someone else has a similar problem.

Is it OK give a solution which suggest to use debugger and/or profiler ?
Sometimes, requester obviously don't understand what its own code is doing ?
checking given number is prime or not[^]
Or should I expect to be donwvoted every time ?

You might expect it or not... the question is: does it affect you?

I might be more prone to add that kind of thing as a comment rather than posting it as a solution.

How to report questions that are obviously home work when requester simply want someone to do its home work ?
Abusive ? Not a question ?
Some times it is obvious that the biggest effort of requester was to write the question itself.

This user: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11687307[^]
has only 2 answers[^], but he has 1k+ Authority points and appears in the "Top Experts 24 hours" with more than 800 reputation.
This looks very strange, so I suspect that this member is a sock puppeteer -- however, I do not see an excessive amount of votes on the current answers (2 on the newest one, and the other one is on a closed question so I cannot check that anymore), nor an excessive amount of bookmarks. Is something fishy going on, or am I just being paranoid?
