This interesting person
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/lagartus[^]
expressed his gratitude for 3 answers in Questions & Answers forum with the following "answer" (I did not even want to report it as not-an-answer):
how to convert this string of bits to a number ?[^].
In English, "I see there are many stupid people who do not realize the purpose, cocky and idiotic gringos".
Do we need such members?
[EDIT]
The account has gone by now. Case closed.

Sure. But my post is that such behavior is so unacceptable that we should not keep such members among us. Why?

I hope you know: 3 abuse reports on the membership from the members of sufficient reputations cancels the membership. You need to report it.

int neededVotes = 3;
(neededVotes++)++;
e.g. We need 5 votes.
Just being pendantic. And calculating.

I have amended it to reference the original source.

Thanks, Pete. I also have linked to the original in my first comment to the answer. Cheers.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Not a problem - glad to help. The funny thing was, he was having a go about how he'd found the right answer and no one else had - and the answer refers to an older version of VS.

You also cannot Spam-vote posts in the Lounge. It says "Downvotes not allowed here".

This message[^] gives the error 'Downvotes not allowed here'. Could a Hamster look into it?

I observe that the same CP account is used for spam again and again? How comes?
And: can't we just block the IP address where this comes from - if a future user posting over this IP address gets blocked even he was not the spammer, he gets a notification to apply for un-blocking his account.
Or: blocking the ISP to post on CP. Who wants to post needs to apply to un-block its account.
I know, this is brute-force, but there must be a way to hang them by the balls...

But in that case, I think the spammer can un-block his account too.

I'm a bit naive in the sense that I can not understand why one puts so much energy into doing that. I don't think that anyone at CP follows such spam links - the sole purpose is to play the game on the cost of others...
Disgusting.

I agree!
But I think that's the reason why the spammer posts so much spam links.

I would guess that CP has quite a high Google PageRank. Since the site doesn't automatically add rel="nofollow" to links posted by users, any link that survives long enough will have its own PageRank boosted by association. That could push the spammy site further up the listings in Google, which would mean more people visiting the page, and more money for the spammers.

See, I'm naive in that regard. Never bothered about the ranking and alike. Must be something like that that makes CP attractive to them. Any remedy available?

Adding rel="nofollow" to every link in user-generated content (forum messages, articles, Q&A, profiles, etc.) might alleviate the problem, but the extra workload would probably bring the CP servers to their knees. There's also no guarantee that the spammers wouldn't find a way around it.
