This proposed Article - 26 Ways to Get Unstuck in Software Development[^] should really be a blog, but the member's profile reads like an advert for the company - Def Method - Professional Profile[^]. We've zapped other members for less.
It's spam to me, but please give it some thought before reporting, and feel free to tell me I am being harsh

No, it smelled to me when I saw it yesterday - but I was looking for plagiarism more than spam.

I went for "blog" because I think it is just that - and it's verbatim from his company site - but maybe I should change to spam given the profile ...

Sod it. You're right, we've kicked others for spam loaded profiles right from day one: I'll go with spam and spammer.

I thought the article was trite but OK as a Tip/Trick. But if it's cloned from their website, it gets the Big Boot in the Sky.

I believe I commented on the last version saying that it would be a good idea to remove the links because it made the article look like spam. It really does make it look like spam

In looking at the links again, all go to the same site, and a couple of them to pages where you buy icons. And the user didn't take your advice. So I'm flagging it as spam again. The user is on 7.

Hello. Sorry for putting links to icons pages. I put them only because I used three free icons from that pages and they asked to put those links. I didn't know it was going to be considered as spam.

I'm going to remove those links and icons and re-submit the article. Is it correct?

Thanks in advance

Yes. Please only add links to information that adds to your article. Any links to what may be considered advertising, phishing etc will get you marked as a spammer.

One of the site admins has restored your account, but unfortunately your article is gone and would have to be resubmitted.
