    From moderation, his first contribution to the site, and it's ChatGPT: Motion detection using web cam[^] "Guy Tech": https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=15690894 But the attribution is there, so it's not plagiarism. And despite the spam detector picking it up, it contains no spam - so I've let it through. But ... it's ChatGPT and it's to a 2010 / 2011 original post. And the name sounds like yet another clickbait / spammy site. I don't like it, I'm strongly suspecting rep point hunting, but ... What do you think? Should be kick him? Keep him? Warn him? I dunno. I'm leaning towards warning but I'm not sure.

      The account is 10 months old. Spammers are usually not that patient (it could be a hacked account though). I would give him a warning and keep it in the watch list.

      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.

        I think that technically, he gave credit to ChatGPT, so we can't call it spam. Did he test it? Probably not.
