I don't think it's plagiarism: he is quoting Richards answer and adding a (wrong) conclusion to the end. He's trying to correct Richard is all.

I don't see any solutions under any of the 3 questions you linked too. Are you seeing solutions? All I see are the question and comments.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The spam solutions are deleted, and when you go to a deleted solution, then you don't see other solutions. I reported that as a bug.[^]

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that the link pointed directly to the solution.

Read 1D&2D Barcodes from an Image[^]
They are referencing a particular library but didn't provide any information on what library it is. There is also no code provided. Just a "I used these functions and it gave the right data"...

Wait a second, I saw this earlier today. This was approved? There is nothing in it.

Somebody approved it, its in the "latest articles" list.

Yes, I see that. I voted "Incomplete" as I don't see anything spammy or abusive in it, yet.

CP has seen a lot of Spire spammers in the past. So this is tinned meat.

Run along nothing to see here!
A tell tale profile picture and a link to one of his books on amazon plus a reference to his own site in the profile summary.
Offender: Nothing to see here

Advertisements are not part of that deal.

No Offender, otherwise we'd have to nuke Marc Clifton[^] and Christopher Duncan[^], too.
What I want to say that this sort of stuff doesn't disturbs anyone, since:
0. It is in their Bio
1. They have a strong personal connection to it
2. Many members have links to their latest article, blog, book, etc. in their signature.

He has a link to one of his books on amazon.com in his bio and that is advertising if you ask me.

So what? Christopher just sells his book directly from his web page, no difference to an amazon sale.

How is this any different to people who link to their companies in their bios? This has long been accepted to be within the spirit of the site - our own Mr Maunder has even gone as far as to suggest this to people who were putting stuff in their messages. Plus, as has been pointed out, would this not drag in the likes of Nish and Marc? The rules have to be applied to all - or none.

I think that Manfred feels bad because the Link goes directly to the Amazon page.
Whatsoever, as previously this would also outlaw Christopher Duncan, who has links to his own homepage in his bio (where he sells the books, so no difference to the amazon page).
In the end, the discussion is meaningless if the Big Boss has already approved links to commercial sales in the Member's Bio.
Furthermore, and to defend them who actively practice putting sale links in their Bio, most of them use the full URL (and not some shady shortener service as bit.ly is) - People who click the link will now where they are taken.
We need to differ between abusive stuff and sales stuff when it comes to Member profiles.
