Good thing is: Articles are subject to moderation. So they gain nothing from it.

Yes, I have reported it as soon as I found those familiar words plagiarized few days ago in Indian forum.

I think they're in impression that technical people are their prime market so they're or their bots targeting our site for spamming.

Article gone, Luser gone - so get rid of the link (and please, don't post the phone number here again: that's what they are trying to do!)

Nah - they just see the number at the top left: 10.403,042 (51,751) and Rupee symbols start flashing before their eyes. Chances are it's humans: it's too slow for spambots. And it's also likely to be a spam farm: paid peanuts by the link depending on the size of the target audience, just like the live streaming spammers.

Now spammers can write their own technical article for remote hypnotism(vasikaran)! Just reported it under spam however wondering why those idiots coming to the technical forums! First it was GIT then it was Lounge now Articles. X| I suggest to block that IP address.

They are probably coming in antwhere, having discovered how to get in and out without being blocked. And if you think that Chris and the team have not tried already to block the IP address you don't have a very high opinion of the CP techs.

The genius level here is unmatched compare to anywhere else. :cool: I suggested only because they're targeting Tech website which is likely rare.(I haven't have thought they can post spam in tech forums)

I am no longer part of any other tech forum since last 8-9 months and it was my first experience here which to me was quite rare, you may be right I should look around but dont you think searching other tech forums just to look for spamming activities would be waste of time. ;P

I wasn't suggesting that; I meant look around here on CodeProject. It came under sustained spam attack starting over a week ago.

Hmmm, Actually, I already witnessed that first in GIT(Indian forum), then in lounge, however it was shocking to see a Dedicated Article for it.
