No payload yet, but a nonsense answer to a solved question from 2011.

Um - I don't see any spam?
Loads of links to his other articles on CP, but am I missing something here?

Some of my articles / tips link to each other as well:

All his messages are comments to articles, completely unrelated to those and he just spams his VRCalc. His twitter page (linked in his profile) is the same and his own article is just a long ad for his own VRCalc.

Not convinced - possibly it's abusive behaviour, but ...

I think we need a ruling on this one: @Sean-Ewington
Can you have a look and decide, please?

Don't forget to delete the link when you defend someone if the owner don't delete it. If not your "Still alive" get a wrong positive

Except I didn't see the outcome - I think we need to work out some rules for when it's decided that a report is wrong, and who should do what, when.

I don't want it to become "I don't think so, so I'll remove the link" because that implies that I (or whoever defends a member) am always right, which isn't the case at all.

Gets complicated, doesn't it? Laugh | :laugh:

@Sean-Ewington

In fairness, the article isn't spam. It seems to be a rather impressive piece of software, though targeted for something (Delphi) that isn't used that much.

On the other hand, that article gets updated very frequently. Whether that's legitimate, or whether it's just to get it onto the home page, I don't know.

But the messages are definitely inappropriate, and I think a warning would be in order. I stumbled across them and flagged them myself.

I've checked a few of his updates before. They are significant updates. To me it appeared to be the behaviour of someone who just couldn't leave their article alone. Though this message might indicate otherwise.

Let's try a warning.
