    @Sean-Ewington we already spoke about the author of this article some weeks ago in the S&A forum. IIRC you had some words with him about trying to push his article in many message boards of other articles (some totally unrelated) and we spoke about his periodical edits. He is doing it again. You edited his article 4 time this month and he always edited it again between some hours to a couple of days later. Many of the edits are "minor changes" are just making a word [strong] or changing a capital letter and others are so "minor" that the compare function in the versions history doesn't even find something to highlight as a difference. I don't want to report him yet. But I think that he is trying to "fool" the system and keep his article always in the front page and retain visibility, more than doing meaningful or needed edits. And I don't find this is a good way to promote his publication.

    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.

      See here[^]. Some of my updates look the same when the only significant change is the download's functionality.

        Thanks. I was speaking about him. 562 edits to the article[^] still are a bit too much for my taste and a bit suspicious after that bunch of non related messages. But I don't want to report it, that's why I suggested the "some words from the staff".

          Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject
