I can see he hasn't done any work in CP yet to become spammer 
Or is it anything that he's doing hidden ?

That kinda makes it difficult to check up on... 
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I hope so not for the admins! 
Further, I guess the name of the user itself is more than enough!

In the Q&A section there is now a 'Link' link to the question / answers
In the forums it is still 'PermaLink'
Lack of standards?

Those two can never agree. I think we're going to need mediation.

Even if it has to be 'link' in Q&A, then shouldn't it be 'Link'?

When I click on the revision link of a question the page showing all available revisions loads, but there is some JS error:

What happened to the forums list down the left hand side? While I appreciate all the space available for typing in, I miss the easy access to the forums. I'm using Chrome 8.0.552.224.

The navigation pane has been coming and going for about a week. This has been sporadic on FF, however I haven't noticed it the last 3 days or so. And it seems to be very consistent now with both IE7 and Chr7.
[UPDATE] It is happening now on FF3.6 also, and worse than ever: about 50% probability on all forums; still better than the other two browsers I keep around. [/UPDATE]

And now?

Today it hasn't gone wrong on FF yet, I don't know about other browsers.

I had no idea how to post this as a subject here...
I was just looking at my rep score and noticed that in a matter of 5 minutes, my Authority rep score jumped by 120 points.
Upon checking my answers, I found that I have been receiving a blanket of 5 votes.
I'd like to think I'm just really, really awesome and that someone finally noticed, but even my ego isn't big enough to think there isn't something weird going on...
You guys may wish to look into this.

No need to do that Marcus.
From time to time I go through answers that are still unrewarded.
Today I had a couple of your's that needed my desperate attention.
It wasn't more than 5 or 6 answers, so maybe it still doesn't account for 120 rep points.
Cheers!

you probably meant to say
"... to not think there is something weird ..."
or such:
"... not to think there is something weird ..."
OK, call me a jerk, but I just couldn't have you say this: "Even my ego isn't big enough to think."
Cheers!

So I suppose I know need to refer to you as Mr. Happy Pants...
For some reason, that just doesn't sound right... 
Thanks, by the way!

I'm just wondering if this would perhaps be a way to filter out a bunch of the questions that simply require a "search google" answer.
When a user is posting a question, before they submit it perhaps they could verify that they have read the first recommendation in the info section below the submit button with a checkbox or a validation that they have understood to "check google" before submitting a question here.
This could cut down on the volume of silly questions that seem to come in to the site.
(Just the ramblings of a cratchety old man on Sunday morning...)

But it will be just like the "Accept Licence" box on most software; everyone ticks it, but no-one actually reads the licence.
Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

Agree.

True, but that could lead to an easier way to have these types of questions removed from the pool quickly. These questions don't usually qualify as abusive, so I would be very hesitant to flag them as that, but I still think they should be removed at some point...
But then again, I'm probably just a little to anal retentive about that type of thing.

The easiest way is to actually re-tag blatantlylazy questions with "GoogleMe" or something, and then add this tag to your ignored list of attributes within Quick Answers. We as a community should work towards improving the quality of the questions.
