    Plagiarised "solution" to a 2015 question:Care Assure - Professional Profile[^] Not sure how they got 601 rep so quickly though (presumably to get the company blurb as the profile text), especially as they have no posts at all in the profile summary? Might be an idea to hold off on reporting this until @chris-maunder or @sean-ewington has had a look-see?

      I came. I saw. I marked as spam. My guess is, the professional profile. A human filled this out.

      Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

        I'd agree - but I was curious as to where 601 points came from in such a short time. Most spammers get up to what? 500?

          Most of my rep points have come from helping to purge spammers, but lately I've noticed many of them getting purged very quickly indeed. A possible explanation is that some accounts are running software that scans this board to get rep points by automatically helping to close accounts flagged as spammers. Just a wild theory. :-D

            Not sure you can do that. IIRC there is a minimum rep you need in order to get the privilege that allows you to report people or items - or even see the Red Flag!

              I think that's true, so maybe it's a question of first getting to that level. Maybe it's low enough (500?) to make it unlikely.
