What's funny is that some site plagiarized his articles, copied (poorly) directly from CP.
Here's one[^].

That really is well copied, isn't it?

It's not badly copied, it's translated to Chinese, sentence by sentence.

I don't read Han, so I just looked at the code blocks...

The formatting (and possibly more) is certainly messed up.

I had a look at the site which the article was posted to and it seems like they are copying a lot from CP, presumably using a bot.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

While reading an articles comments I stumpled upon this user:
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/CikaPero[^]
I've rad some of his comments and all of them contain links to a commercial product. I would consider this as spam.

I won't post any links to protect the perhaps innocent, but I do need to ask this question as it is really bugging me.
We do squash spammers that turn up here regularly for nothing but spamming the forums, but what about "esteemed" and well known members that "push the envelope" just to get attention for promoting their own endeavours.
I've seen two of this kind today and am not amused as this implies we are using some kind of double standard here in dealing with SPAM.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I would at least like to have some clarification when such behaviour is deemed appropriate or better yet acceptable.
As a side note: I'm aware that members that just signed up and start to SPAM deserve being banned. Not understandable for me is why people hanging around here for long enough to know the rules are somehow exempt from these rules as if there was some kind of entitlement that comes with being an "active member" or in whatever way.
Curiously awaiting an enlightening response,
Manfred

Regardless of how long a member has been with us, if they spam they should get the same treatment as a new signup who spams. They should know better.

So what do I make of these "promotions" as of late? I still can't make heads nor tails of it.
I've taken no actions, but I'm still curious.
Me thinks you know at least of one of the posts I'm talking about.
Cheers,
Manfred

Well, at least some of the more well-known members put in real, measurable, cumulative hours FOR FREE mind you to help the community, what would it bother me (and probably most other members) if that person shamelessly promotes a project or something that might net them a couple bucks?
As long as they aren't live-stream spamming, or really posting malicious or even really flooding the forums I wouldn't mind. The CP brass is probably the best to weigh in on this though.
Edit: Most spam has a malicious intent, you think the live-stream is really free TV? Probably tons of viruses, email bombs, phishing, etc on those sites. What the members are doing isn't meant to cause harm to anybody, so no harm, no foul in my opinion.

Exactly what I was asking about.
So spamming is Ok if you're an active member?
I think not! All it promotes is double standards.
Still hoping to be enlightened!

I don't consider the lounge as spam...
I think you should double check your links.
