Spammer in Q&A Richard MacCutchan11-Jul-15 21:46 Richard MacCutchan 11-Jul-15 21:46  Some 25 comments to questions linking to some dodgy site from http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11830655[^].

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov11-Jul-15 18:27 Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 11-Jul-15 18:27  I really think that using bad words and personal accusation is unacceptable here, but I seriously think that the rudest thing typical for out Q&A forum is the "polite" suggestion to shut up, or "stay quiet if you don't want to give answer", such as in What is ViewState in ASP.NET MVC[^] by http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11829040[^]. Perhaps this is a natural emotional reaction to some unpleasant comment or, as in this case, a solution, but, in such cases, this is a matter of principle: the attitude of considering some people less free and some more free. The idea of free speech is not even considered. It doesn't even matter who is right in what comments and who is wrong; the whole idea to try to shut up anyone makes the subtle boundary between decent people and those not worth socializing with. —SA Sergey A Kryukov Re: Nothing is as rude here as "stay quiet"... again! PIEBALDconsult11-Jul-15 18:31 PIEBALDconsult 11-Jul-15 18:31  Aaaannd... your point is...? An member created a separate member account to play rude (offender's account gone) Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov11-Jul-15 16:06 Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 11-Jul-15 16:06  [EDIT] The person who did it, admitted that; please see my comment to my question. I made a big mistake, assumed that it was the original inquirer. It really looked like that. [END EDIT] That rude, or rather ignorant/arrogant and unfair response was in reply to some answer, which, I think makes perfect sense; and the advice given is quite fair and valid. But the inquirer's behavior is neither nice enough nor reasonable anyway. This is the original inquirer's member account: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=8761439[^]. This is the only question (at the moment of writing): Urgent problem using USBSER.SYS in Windows 10[^], and this is the "answer" with all those comments: Urgent problem using USBSER.SYS in Windows 10[^]. The member account used for comments was removed due to abuse reports: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11830381[^]. [EDIT] Later on, the author of the first comment to this report confessed that it was http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11831476[^]. As I have not evidence that it was someone else, I have to assume that it's true. [END EDIT] —SA Sergey A Kryukov modified 13-Jul-15 14:17pm. Re: An inquirer created a separate member account to play rude Member 1183147612-Jul-15 4:20 Member 11831476 12-Jul-15 4:20  I am surprised at how you come to the conclusion that the inquirer created a separate account (?) and then you reported him only based on an wrong assumption. No, it was not the inquirer, it was me! But it shows / confirms the witch hunts in this forum. Maybe you should bother now about the inquirer that he will not be kicked because of an false report. Bruno Yes, my mistake; but this is abuse anyway Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov12-Jul-15 5:56 Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 12-Jul-15 5:56  Thank you very much for informing me on what you have done. I've modified my post accordingly. It was only my guess. My big mistake was to present it as a fact. I really don't want original inquirer to be punished. If it happens, I'll write to the administration and will ask to fix that. Let me tell you that your behavior was abusive. If you want to discuss, discuss openly, from your own name. As to the "witch hunts", it sounds at least weird. To support this claim, you would need to present a case when someone would be accused unfairly. Of course, such thing could have happened, but what would you suggest to do instead, to tolerate, say, spammers and plagiarists? —SA Sergey A Kryukov Re: Yes, my mistake; but this is abuse anyway Member 1183147612-Jul-15 6:15 Member 11831476 12-Jul-15 6:15  Thank you. Please take care about OP, it was never my intention to harm her/him. I've only written "a comment to an unsatisfied answer for me". Not needed to mention that the address of my comment is also frequently same/more rude. (when it is not needed to mention, why you mention it? To show the mirror). Bruno Re: Yes, my mistake; but this is abuse anyway Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov12-Jul-15 6:27 Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 12-Jul-15 6:27  All the technical issues could be discussed in normal civilized manner. I already wrote a comment to the author of the answer as well.
