      Nelek isn't an admin - he's a member who is trying to help out. You, unfortunately, ere the victim of mistaken identity. Over the past couple of weeks CodeProject has been hit by an absolute avalanche of spam. Thousands upon thousands. Our spam filters catch most of it, but the occasional one sneaks through and everyone is pretty on edge. The tactics being used by the spammers range from ridiculous to the very, very clever. So please spare a thought for the mindset of those who have spent hours trying to protect us. With regards to your question, I can't comment other than what I've read in your posts about it. I'm assuming you mentioned and/or linked to your site. Maybe ditch the links and the name and the topic and focus your questions down to specific tech / framework issues and we'll pitch in and try and get your questions answered.

      cheers Chris Maunder

        I'm not so sure: check out his responses to Nelek's report. http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5158441/Clever-Spammer-part-Member.aspx[^] I can understand him being annoyed, but the tone of those is unacceptable.

        Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

          As far as I remember: The question was about how to do something with a dropbox. There was a code snippet for the web part containing a lot of links to explicit sexual content. There was a code snippet for the code behind looking quite normal. My reasons were the addition of: links in the question + sexual content + user joined that very same day... 95% of the times these factors get together is just blatant spam. The guy says it is for a shop of adult content. If the question is legitime, then I assume my error and possible consequences.

          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            As Chris Maunder said, I am not admin. I just volunteer. I have answered to Chris' message with my part of the story. Please read to know the reasons of my act. To be honest, I didn't thought in the possibility of an online adult shop. I repeat what I told in the other message. If it was a legitime question: My apologies. To avoid future missunderstandings I would recommend you to avoid links and explicit content in the questions. You can always edit a bit the content and use "link_1", "option_2" or similars.

              If OP posted all those links then you did the right thing. People should know better.

              There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
