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?

A person asking for help in competition

This is the account of this hero:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=7680791[^],
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/prot0col[^].

Asking for "smart suggestions" to be used for participation is some competition:
Challenge - Upload 100 Images as fast as possible in single click[^].

I am absolutely sure that this is cheating and absolutely unacceptable abuse. Taking benefits in competitions, publications, at the expense of other people should face only one response: zero tolerance.

Thank you.

So many spams in these article's comments!

8-Aug-13 23:18

Do you think that a spammer will use his own email address to create spam-accounts? That would be very idiotic, even for them.

What if the address of that account is from someone who has nothing to do? Nickname is not necessarily related to the address you used to create the account and receive the confirmation email.

He spammed, he got nuked. We don't play such "revenge game" (at least I don't)

He is a pure spammer. See all his answers, all are links to his own website.

Is this abuse?

A website[^] is displaying articles posted here as if it were posted on the site and then hosting a link to the article in an embedded iframe with the site logo on the top. My tips/tricks as well as some others too, are landing on the site. The real authors are "claimed" to be authors of the posts in that sites. And this, (as per my understanding of CPOL, correct me if wrong) is a clear breach of the CPOL terms.

The offending link:[^]

The "HTML" page[^]
And the "Authors" page[^]
Screenshot[^]

**An interesting thing to note, the Code Project click-jack buster comes into operation and "blasts" the iframe, redirecting us to the original page. But if you're quick enough or on a slow internet connection, you can see the the header and the article being hosted in an iframe, before the scripts are loaded.
