If an account is closed due to answering a spam question. When the closed account is activate again?
|

To reactivate an account, you would need to ask the admins directly. This is probably the best place: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1645/Site-Bugs-Suggestions.aspx[^].
But you will have to explain why you posted spam, how we could be sure you wouldn't do it again, and so forth. Make a good case, and you might get it back - but then, you might not. The Admins decision is final.
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

how to send this case to Chris? email?
|
|
|
|

Post it in the forum.
If you did something stupid publicly and you want us all to forgive you, then perhaps your case should be public too?

Dear sir,
My friend account is that blocked. he is very sad now. he loves code project very much
|

Sorry - I assumed it was yourself under a different name, and that this was a new account. Please accept my apologies - I made a mistake.
Then get him to write the begging message, and post it for him under your account - making sure it is clear which account you are talking about.

I am not in favor of deleting all the posts from a spammer and then posting a message here with just a link to the profile. I suppose it is acceptable on days were there is a army of spam accounts firing off their stuff, but it does not look like this is one of those days.
I happened to see 3 questions posted by this member in QA before they disappeared, so I know that this is a spam account, but without any proof of the spam, everyone else just have to take your word for it.
Update: I just noticed your icon/role (subeditor). I acknowledge, that does automatically add a lot of value when you report a member here as a spammer. Sorry.

Well I did consider leaving them, but didn't want to give the spam any more search engine exposure than necessary. I wonder whether older revisions get indexed too, so that the links can be removed without deleting the entire message.
We really need a better system to deal with this recent torrent of spam.

If you delete the posts, then there is nothing to show that they are doing anything wrong.
Instead, edit the post to disable any links (rendering it pretty useless for their purposes) and report it as spam / abuse as well as the author.
Then post links to both here so we can decide for ourselves.
Without the offending messages, we have no way to know that whoever posts the "this guy is a spammer" message doesn't just have a grudge against him. (That shouldn't be taken as "I assume you have a grudge...", just that there are people here who would).
